Texas high school student suspended over American flag T-shirt
Fox News.com ^ | September 20, 2015

A Texas high school student was punished with in-school suspension last Monday after a teacher discovered he was wearing an American flag T-shirt, FOX 4 reported.

The student, a junior whose name is Jaegur, was wearing the shirt -- which featured an American flag design with an eagle in the foreground -- at Seagoville High School in Dallas when an administrator determined the shirt violated the school dress code.

Jaegur’s mom, Shelly Goode, fears the suspension will show up as a permanent mark on his record, ruining any chance her son can earn a scholarship through the ROTC program.

“He wants to go into the military,” Goode said, according to FOX 4. “He wants to help people, and any bad marks doesn't look good.”

Thanks, my mistake, spell check failed, then I failed to check it again. Something tells me you have a little German blood in you. :)

“The T-shirt drama unfolded last Monday when a school administrator asked Jaegur to lift his hoodie, Goode said, according to the station.”

Note that.

Evidently, no one could see the T-shirt. The school administrator had to effectively disrobe the student to actually see the T-shirt. No wonder the principal jumped in.

A long time ago, wearing American flags as a shirt or pants was considered disrespectful.

I never hear stories of kids getting suspended for wearing clothes with Mexican flags or Canadian flags or Jamaican flags, etc.

I doubt he’d even want to go ROTC now, knowing that a limp wrister is in charge of things.

Let's not get all anti-school foolish on this. I went to the school's website and looked up their dress code. Here's the relevant bit:

----

CLOTHING MAY NOT CONTAIN ADVERTISEMENTS PROMOTING DRUGS, VIOLENCE, GANGS, TOBACCO, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, OR OTHER OFFENSIVE MESSAGES.

· Tops: Only collared shirts, crew neck tee shirts, crew neck sweatshirts, and crew neck pullover sweaters will be permitted. No V-neck shirts.

o Neckline on collared shirts must not open lower than the bottom tip of the collarbone and must not show cleavage.

o Collared shirts can be solid color or prints. Mesh, transparent, or sheer material will not be permitted even when worn with an undershirt.

o Shirts must be long enough to fall below the top of the pants or skirts while standing and sitting, OR must be tucked in at the waist.

o Only solid color crew neck tee shirts or sweatshirts will be permitted. NO SCREEN PRINTING IS ALLOWED UNLESS it is armed forces, college, or Dragon Spirit. ONE small manufacturer’s logo (i.e. Polo or Reebok no larger than 2”x3”) will be allowed. No other screen printed shirts will be permitted. Thermal shirts will not be worn as outerwear, but may be worn under clothing.

So, you see he didn't follow the dress regulations. His fault.
