the kid should have worn a hammer & sickle or a crescent moon.....he would have then been hailed as a hero and made the honor roll....
****************************************************
He should wear a brown shortsleeve collared linen shirt with a single pocket on the left... or maybe a “Che” T-shirt..

Seriously ,, this has to be fought ,, sure it’s a small issue and the principal is an idiot but the problem is the continual erosion of freedoms.

My oldest brother was a teacher in the philly school district and over 30 yrs ago was told to remove his cross necklace by his principal. He told the principal that he’d remove his cross when that lady teacher with the head thing removed her head thing (his words). The Principal told him that the female teacher’s dress was part of her culture and my brother replied that his crucifix was part of his italian/irish catholic culture. And that he wasn’t removing it until the female teacher removed her head thing (again his words). This was 30 years ago. It’s been going on a long time, it’s not something new.

All the kid has to say is that it’s part of his *culture* and the principal can’t do a thing about it.
