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.”

The school acted stupidly. Both this fine young man and Wolf Blitzed should be invited to the White House for a Kool-Aid summit.

CNN is fake news.

That said, it’s their site, and they have no duty to host a rude visitor.

This does give a a bit of hope that the yutes of his generation are not all part of soros SJW brownshirt army.

Which reminds me. Remember when obama said he wanted a civilian army more powerful than our military? They have it with these SJW brownshirt yutes.

Rant off.

On page 75 (not the pdf page but the numerical page at the bottom of each page) Dress code says that clothing which has politically controversial words or graphics are not permitted.

“No typical child who is 12-13 would select that tee-shirt on his own.”

OMG... you don’t know my home-schooled nephews, all under 12. They’d choose that in a heartbeat.

My daughter went on a school field trip this morning to learn about public transportation safety.
But they had to turn back because a water pipe broke and flooded the street outside the train station.

This is a terrific learning opportunity for this young kid about decorum, etiquette, and restraint.
Reward the child for being a freethinker. Maybe even offer to buy him a second tee-shirt to wear with pals.
Then instruct him he WILL wear a plain oxford shirt or plain sweater on the school field trip and not make a spectacle of himself.

LOL! He’s learning to troll at a young age.

BTW.......the CNN tour in Atlanta SUCKS. They also have a frikkin’ server (covered in plexiglass) plopped in the walkway of tourists outside the “newsroom “. How is that safe?

I am 36 years removed from my nodding acquaintance with the German language but the word “verschluckt” didn’t really require translation since it was right behind the word for street. It seems somewhat akin to the GI German word “gefukt”, as in all traffic is totally screwed up in that area.

Um, I think that is HILARIOUS, but I think the school had every right to stop the kid from wearing it at CNN.

Manners.

Glad our Founding Fathers weren’t all that worried about “decorum, etiquette, and restraint.”

Give me a break. This story is not about a group of historic individuals creating a new country across an ovean.
This is about an adolescent boy making an inappropriate clothing choice for a school field trip.

The school is going onto their property as their GUEST. That’s why.

Were you born in a cellar and never brought up?

Why not appropriate? Seems like a “I’ve been so brainwashed that some PC crap seems reasonable to me” response.
