Uniforms. No slogans. No T-Shirts.
What did the shirt actually say? (Or did I miss that?)
Will these school administrators never learn. I guess that's why they're still in school/
Seems to me some of our judges got brain injections lately.
"contained a Bible verse; the back contained Nixon's viewpoint on homosexuality, Islam, and abortion'
I'm happy with the ruling..but don't you find it odd that they do not print WHAT was said? By omission, the author implies that to print it would be offensive. I'm curious about what the T-shirt ACTUALLY said...does anyone know?
In B4 the ZOT!!!
Oh wait, wrong thread.
Well, finally after a long dry spell, The Constitution scores a victory.
Tee shirts were not allowed per dress code when I was in school. The one rebel without a cause that was always flaunting the rules was eventually pulled out of school and sent to a military academy by his rich mother. He was trim, proper, and highly subdued next time we saw him.

The front of the seventh-grader's black T-shirt proclaimed in white block letters: "INTOLERANT: Jesus said . . . I am the way, the truth and the life. John 14:6."
The back of the T-shirt read: "Homosexuality is a sin, Islam is a lie, abortion is murder. Some issues are just black and white!"
Whoops. Lemme fix that URL:

I'm all for banning apparel in school that displays ANY wording, including designer names, but if they allow any wording at all, then this is the BEST NEWS!!!! Woo Hoo!
Lots of good stuff happening in the People's Republic of California, these days. Check out the article in this thread for another one...

That's right. Score one against GLSEN/NAMBLA's offensive and potentially disruptive "day of silence".
Halle-freaking-lujah. All messages or no messages within the bounds of local obscenity laws.
Waste of time and money. I was against it when I was a kid, but school uniforms make more and more sense to me as I get older.
later pingout.
Moral Absolutes Ping.
Quickie good news - meant to ping it out a few days ago (link on the thread to the previously posted article). Let's hope that if the decision is appealed it goes the same way.
Personally, I think very strict dress codes or uniforms are where it's at for school wear. But if kids can dress like gang members and ladies of the night, at least they should also be allowed to wear messages of truth on their shirts.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
What was PRINTED on the shirt?
