An apology is not enough. Heads need to roll, starting with the abusive teacher, followed by the administrators. Sue them first - as individual defendants, not the school - then have them fired.

I wish I was in that meeting so I could clap along with him. Good for Grand Island for recognizing that Kinney's T-shirt was harmless and for ultimately ruling in free speech's favor.

I couldn't disagree more. This is like applauding a thief who's been forced to return some of your stolen good. Tar and feather them instead.

I would call this a “First Amendment victory,” not a Second Amendment victory. The real Second Amendment victory will come when a kid sues a school for suspending him for driving to school with his hunting rifle in the truck and the court siding with the kid.

It's not often the Second Amendment scores a victory in the state of New York, but they got one on Tuesday when the Grand Island School district decided to reverse its decision to suspend a student for wearing a T-shirt with the NRA logo.

Hate to be picky (well, I don't actually HATE it, but...) but this is a first amendment issue. If no one is allowed to wear logos or messages, no problem. But if a particular viewpoint is attacked while others stand, hello amendment #1!

The Torah teaches that one returns the goods plus 20% and the crime is forgiven. Christians are taught that when a person repents and completes restitution (in this case return of the goods and a written change in policy), it is to be celebrated. Are you a Christian?

Tar and feather them instead.

I guess not.

Some people have a problem humbly accepting a victory and moving on. They feel a need to rub the losers nose in it.

I helped expose this whole story, I led the protests and made this go national. Don’t do this crap in my back yard. All 4 of my kids graduated from this school. Once they found out I was involved they instantly started back tracking. We packed the place with TEA Party, 2nd Amendment supporters and Oath Keepers.

NY pingers — has anyone recently heard from neverdem?

Just checking in. It’s been about 10 months since he’s posted.
