Chloe Rubiano is an 8th grader at Ramey Junior High in Fayetteville, Arkansas. She wore a shirt to school that says 'Virginity Rocks'. She got the shirt at a Christian festival last year. She said, she didn't think anyone would really make a big deal out of it. She wore it at her old school but at Ramay Junior High she was told it would disrupt the classroom..
When she was called to the office Chloe said the administration was worried her shirt would start sexual conversations in class. She said her vice principal told her, 'I love the shirt, and I agree with it. But, I just don`t think it is acceptable for school. It opens up too many doors for conversations.'

To all the virgins of the world...thanks for nothing.
“In the first grade”?
This is Arkansas-you’d probably have to go back to the first grade to even find a virgin!
(disclaimer: I live about 20 miles north of Fayettenam...)
Yes.
Not age appropriate unless innocence is all ready tarnished.
Can't have That in a publik skool.
Yes.
Or dress code with no sloganeering or words.
A simple dress code would solve all these problems. Even something as simple as no words or pictures on your shirts. I think this shirt has a fine message but odds are good that soon enough there’ll be a thread about a shirt that I’ll think is disgraceful.
This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Oft' times the original is butter than the correction.
