I expect that a student who wore a 'Heterosexuality Is Wrong' t-shirt to school would have gotten the same treatment. My rule to my kids is that the 'message' t-shirts don't go to school. Wear 'em to sleep in, after school, all weekend, whatever, I don't care--just not to school. My message to my kids is that 'School is work' and you don't wear things that are inappropriate for the workplace to school.
I agree. This hullabaloo is ridiculous. The kid should be sent home to change clothes. That's why uniforms should be in all schools..they are there to learn, not share their opinions on t shirts. where are the parents? I support the teachers ( even if they are teaching at a government school) on this one all the way.
Maybe, just maybe, the kids will be able to make change when they graduate.
