School nixes boy's 'Fake News' T-shirt on field trip to CNN
Fox News ^ | 11/16/2017 | Brian Flood

A Georgia family is under fire for allowing a seventh grader to wear a T-shirt that mocked liberal news network CNN on a school field trip to CNN’s Atlanta headquarters -- but the boy's parents think the school violated the First Amendment by making their son take it off.

Nancy and Stan Jester, of Dekalb, are both local elected officials, she a county commissioner and he is a member of the local school board. Their son, seventh-grader Jaxon, wore a shirt mocking the CNN logo as “FNN” with the caption, “Fake News Network.”

That’s ok. Practically everyone at CNN has now seen this photo of him wearing it! LOL.

"...FNN..."


Parents really have to calm down and let their kids be kids.
No typical child who is 12-13 would select that tee-shirt on his own.

That’s funny, but I support the school’s decision in this case. To walk around with a student wearing that T-Shirt simply would have been Bad Manners. Why spit in the eye of your host? Better still, just don’t go on the field trip at all.

Most t-shirts have to be turned inside out at school or be duct taped.

Still, high five, kid!

More people saw it because they made him take it off than would have seen it otherwise.

Actually, the kid did select it on his own and ordered it from Amazon. Here's the local news story:

School board member allowed son to wear insulting shirt to CNN tour

Hey, what better way to ask pointed questions like why they lie about Trump and run with so many fake headlines.

Too bad he didn’t wear a jacket or something over it until he got inside.

I like it. But if they would not let him wear the Fake News shirt, then I offer this as a suble replacement.

The kid would probably have been better off NOT going, all that bulls**t liberal propaganda taken in all at once could have killed a few million brain cells!
