schools are to learn math, composition, science, etc. not to spread political propoganda.

this stuff is garbage. would you like lefties coming in with their PETA, global warming, pro-choice, gay marriage propoganda on T-shirts and fliers? Sheesh.

Whoever's doing this are complete nut cases. Their disruption of the serious purpose of schools, that is educating students, is crazy and unacceptable.

One of the great things about America is that you have the right to proudly proclaim that you've got your head in the sand.

Ain't America great?

You haven't been in schools much, have you? No need to wear T-shirts with such messages because "PETA, global warming, pro-choice, gay marriage propaganda" is part of the approved curriculum (and where it's not, NEA is doing its damndest to make it part of the curriculum, as anyone who checks out their websites can discover for themseleves). Wake up and get a clue, brother!

We need to make some distinctions.

1. Students wearing Tee shirts or speaking is different than outside groups

2. The possibility of offending someone is not reason to ban speech - an extreme example - suppose I'm offended by something innocuous - should it be banned?

3. You've got a damn good point about remembering the main purpose - education of core subjects.

4. Religious speechl like press speech should be MORE protected rather than less - that freedom of religion thing is even in the constitution.
