School Caves on Pro-Life T-Shirts
World Net Daily ^ | September 18 | Roger_Thornhill

Posted on 09/18/2006 1:40:53 PM PDT by Roger_Thornhill

A California school has fixed its T-shirt policy after two student were reprimanded for wearing the "inappropriate" Christian message that life is valuable, according to a law firm that defends religious freedom and parental rights.

The announcement comes from Brad Dacus, president of Pacific Justice Institute, who said he saluted the district for resolving so quickly the First Amendment violation.

The case developed at a Livingston, Calif., middle school when two students, sisters, were admonished by school officials for wearing the offending T-shirts.

The message read: "Help Cure Abortion" on the front, and "Abortion: The leading cause of death in America 1,200,000 every year" on the back.

According to the article, 1,000 prolife lawyers stand ready to defend any abridgement by schools, etc. of the First Amendment.

Way to go! At last I can say something positive about the legal profession at large.

Of course if students wore uniforms, we wouldn't have to worry about messages of any kind on teeshirts.

I bet the school would not have batted an eye if the shirts had said "We are Pro-Choice and Proud!"......

Wanna bet if the T-Shirts were Pro-Choice, this thing would have never come to light?

T-shirts should be banned from the dress code except for PE.

It would be nice if someone would actually observe, for a period of time, the messages on the clothing the students wear, and put this whole thing into context.

i miss the days when blatant advertising on shirts was a 3/4" crocodile or polo player.

The message read: "Help Cure Abortion" on the front, and "Abortion: The leading cause of death in America 1,200,000 every year" on the back.

Only a pro-death mentality would label this exclusively a "Christian" message. It is also a message of LIFE and HUMAN VALUES.

Shirts for school wear shouldn't have ANY messages on them, IMHO.

That's why dress codes or uniforms are the way to go.
