I am not sure we want our schools to be an environment where every kid with a political statement should be permitted to wear a tee-shirt proclaiming his or her ideology.
However, if we do permit the kid with the Pro-Life tee-shirt, we will also have to permit kids to wear Obama, Pro Choice and Anti War tee-shirts.
If only our society still had a decent sense of modesty and decorum, students would be allowed to wear anything they wanted, guided by their own sensibilities!
If I wanted to wear a pro-life shirt, fine! I probably wouldn’t chose one that showed an abortion being performed, it’d probably say “Chose life, not death” or to that effect. If some kid wants to wear a pro-death shirt (okay, that term is biased haha) it could say “It’s my body not yours,” or something similar. No harm no foul.
The problem is that there is no decency and code of ethics anymore.
That seems to be the issue here, they don't want “every” kid to proclaim his or her ideology. Apparently the school only had a problem with this “annoying” message.
Hell, they do already along with pro gay t-shirts.
No better way to trivialize an issue than to make it into slogans printed on children’s clothes and bumper-stickers. Those are the only ways the weak-minded can express themselves. By donning the thoughts and wit of others.
Still, sounds like the kid was within his rights.
What is so threatenting to you about a kid getting to wear an Obama T-shirt or a pro-choice T-shirt? Is that so threatenting we should allow these dipstick tyrants to harass a good kid?
