Did it occur to anyone here that this “child” might actually have an opinion of her own? I certainly have been politically aware since about the sixth grade, so it isn’t outside the realm of possibility that this kid actually wore this shirt of her own volition. Sometimes I really think I’m on a liberal board here...you people should be outraged that there is a double standard being applied here. If schools aren’t the place for honest discussions about life changing topics then I don’t know where they should be discussed. And seeing as it was National Pro-Life Shirt day (granted it’s not a nationally sanctioned day), don’t you think it made sense for her to wear it to promote her viewpoint?
This leads to a slippery slope. What's next? Pro Gay/Nambla shirts? Keep to the dress code.
Ditto. It's downright creepy sometimes. Sure, we're chronically infested with stealth trolls, but that's not the whole story. Sometimes you have to wonder if there are any good guys left.
I believe that discussion on such matters are acceptable in the classroom if it is part of the curriculum.
I would be highly offended if a student in my child's school wore a shirt supporting abortion on demand.
There's a time and a place for everything.
