Wow...if it had been a Pro-Abortion (Yes, ABORTION, not Choice) it would have been allowed and probably encouraged...
Moral degradation...

I am waiting for the chorus from other threads to line up and say "He must obey the school board. Learning to repect authority is the paramount issue in this matter."

absolutely. I have no problem with a school prohibiting shirts with provacative messages on them, since it can be a distraction. Heck, schools can even prohibit shirts with any writing on them at all. But these rules have to be enforced equally. Does this school allow kids to wear pro-abortion shirts? what about "straight but not narrow" shirts that are so in vogue right now? My hunch is that if this young man had worn the latter, this would not be an issue at all.

Nice...just finished The Silver Chair the other night.
Good to see this kid sticking up for this, as well as it being covered by the media!

Two words -- School uniforms.
The spate of suits and countersuits in various locales should be proof that while kids have little trouble understanding a simple concept like "freedom of speech", they do not understand (and are most certainly not being taught) that with those freedoms come responsibility, including the responsibility to "hold your tongue" when it is appropriate.
Sigh... this is what the leftists have wrought -- all rights, no responsbility, all the time.

Sheesh. What kids need are T-shirts that say stuff like:
I Have No Opinion On Anything Whatsoever
I'm sure any school higher-up would be okay with that. We can't have kids running amok at school with clothes that bear a message. Especially really offensive messages like the one this kid was sporting.
Turning off the sarcasm button now.

I am waiting for the chorus from other threads to line up and say "He must obey the school board. Learning to repect authority is the paramount issue in this matter." It really depends on what the school policy is; if it's applied consistently, etc. Schools are allowed to have dress codes. The official objection seems to be that is was 'offensive'. Offensive to who and why? It doesn't slander (or is it liabel) anyone. It's not promoting violence.

Does this school allow kids to wear pro-abortion shirts? You must be kidding. Have you ever seen a "pro-abortion" shirt? What did it say? Why would anyone want to wear that type of shirt? Only the self-righteous "pro-lifers" have a lock on what should be done in other people's families. Can there be any more arrogant a position than if you do not agree with me, you must be pro-death?

"I am waiting for the chorus from other threads to line up and say "He must obey the school board. Learning to repect authority is the paramount issue in this matter.""
A lot of districts prohibit ANY garment with text or graphics (other than manufacturer's logo). That's probably the safest policy, unless you're either willing to tolerate EVERYTHING or start picking and choosing and inviting lawsuits like this.

Do they have to tell his parents that he got suspended? Or is that protection only for those GETTING Abortions?

I've seen many pro-abortion t-shirts worn in political demonstrations.
