Yet another shining example of liberal hypocrisy.

Liberal = Anti Christian
Islam = Anti Christian

Go figure

[South40]

Liberal = Perverse sense of values.
Islam = Perverted sense of values.

I actually don't think kids should be wearing any messages to school, but if they allow kids to wear them, how can they single out Christian messages to ban?

Here's the solution to this problem:

The more I've seen in schools, the more I believe in uniforms. Cut out all the BS and messaging.

Liberals = US deserved 9-11
Islams = US deserved 9-11

...assistant principal Ed Giles who told him he must "leave his faith in the car" if his religious beliefs are offensive.

Does that include the religion of "secular humanism"? Better yet...does it preclude school sponsored events celebrating diversity and highlighting "the religion of peace"?

Seems to me this guy, as well as the others involved in this singling out activity, need to reacquaint themselves with the Constitution!

But, but, where are the jeans worn half-way down the ass that show off your boxers????

The kid has a strong case. Last year a student was suspended for wearing a shirt that said "Straight Pride". He fought and won.

...during the school's annual Day of Silence.

Oh, the hypocrisy.

A girl I dated years back hated people who wore pants like that. If she saw one infront of us she would walk close up behind them and mock pulling their pants up for them. I am surprised she never got confronted over it.

It probably helped that she was a 6' tall amazon bombshell.

Good kid.

[South40]

Cut out all the BS and messaging.

They had a day dedicated to indoctrinating students on perverse lifestyles.

That's the message that needs to be stopped.

And you stopped dating her?

[Phantom Lord]

Sometimes the right thing isn't easy to do but it has to be done.

I dated her sister years before too!

He's going to the wrong school.

Yet another shining example of liberal hypocrisy.

While liberals may occasionally talk like they defend free speech, many of them, especially "educators" are infamous for prohibiting speech they don't agree with (not politically correct).

On the other hand, I can't remember how many times the "conservatives" on this board have sided with the school when they don't like a student's dress. How many times have I read here that students have no right to free speech while in school because they're there to learn? Uniforms are pushed as a solution.

I say this kid has every right to wear his shirt. I just hope some on this site remember this case when the next kid with an anti-war t-shirt shows up.

[ClearCase_guy]

Well, it's not like our society has any "Big Law" which gurantees him free exercise of his religion, so tough noogies.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that in the Penumbra of the Constitution, there is explicit language to the effect that homosexuals have a right not to ever be offended by anyone.
