I remember, way back there in high school(1966) when a young lady showed up one day wearing a pant suit. She told to drive all the way home, change into a dress, and then return to school.

Wow. Things have changed.

I wonder where this seventh grader got the idea that it was OK to wear a t-shirt that insults the POTUS during war time? But then, it’s Vermont, and we all know that Vermont is now Soviet Socialist Republic, isn’t it?

With any luck his classmates will give him an attitude adjustment. Free speech does have its consequences...

Maybe I should sue that teacher who always made me tuck in my shirt. 1987.

“Wow. Things have changed.”

You said it, Rex.

Most likely the kid doesn't have a fear of any of the other students taking offense.

Where and when I went to school there would have been a very real chance the kid would find his skull knocked from atop his spinal column with several baseball bats ~ and that'd be in homeroom at 7:30 AM.

Lord only knows what would have happened after that.

Times change.

When I was in school, there was one day set aside every month where we could wear jeans with holes in them.

Such attitudes seem almost surreal now.

I’m an American. It’s my God given right to criticize my government, if I choose.

Now, its better if people have the good sense to use this right wisely. But its not for the government to take that right away - that way lies tyranny, for sure.
