Silly peons, don't they understand the leftist run the school. You don't have freedom of speach unless you have Leftist views. How could you say that about the GREAT LEADER and MESSIAH?? LOL

The best quote was from the kid’s father. “It’s the public school system. Let’s be honest, they’re a bunch of liberal loons.”

We need to get the principal’s phone number, address, email address, etc. so that we can let him know what the first amendment is all about. We also need the same info on the local school board, board of supervisors or whatever it is. Phone numbers are best because they register immediately.

So the kid chose to use a day for patriotism to express displeasure at a Presidential candidate? And then, when give the choice between turning a shirt inside out or suspension, he chose suspension?

Can't say I have a problem with how the school handled this, unless kids with anti-McCain and anti-Palin shirts were still allowed to roam the halls.

My kids would wear a shirt like that.

They believe that Obama will make them go to school 12 months a year.

While I didn't tell them that, I haven't done much to disabuse them of that notion.

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

Here's the shirt the boy wore......Hysterical!

[BullDog108]

How much do you want to bet that if the kid wore a shirt that said "BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL" that they would put him on the honor role?!?!?

I hate liberals!

If the kid had a shirt that said “Buck Fush” I wonder what people on this thread would be saying.

Many schools have rules about wearing shirts with slogans as they tend to instigate altercations between students and disrupt the school and learning environment. As long as the rules are equally enforced I don’t have a problem with it.

This school was having a “patriotic day”, doesn’t sound very liberal to me.

[Natural Law]

I don't believe that 11 year olds in a school environment have inherent 1st Amendment rights. I would only look to an even handed application of the school or district rules. If the kid was punished because of political content unacceptable to the “liberal loons”, but similar leftist content is exempt then they have a cause for action. If there is a policy that states no political content at all, the suspension is justified.

[Manic_Episode]

I love seeing we the people push back.

Quote from the school:

***Dalton’s suspension was for willful disobedience and defiance, not for wearing the shirt.***

So, they say that it’s alright for the kid to wear the shirt, but they told him to take it off.

If it was OK for him to wear it, then why did they tell him to take it off?

Typical liberal double talk.

[Kenton]

An 11-year-old boy in Colorado was suspended from school after he refused to take off a shirt that read, “Obama is a terrorist’s best friend.”

Edgy... the other kids will love it even if they don't understand it. Any kid that can push the school admins' buttons the way this one has, especially with all this outside publicity, will become the new Fonz...

[Rebelbase]

Kids just need to get smart and have the same message on the inside of the shirt as is on the outside.

[genetic drift]

The kid did good.
This is good publicity for our side.

[G8 Diplomat]

Why do we even PRETEND to have freedom of speech anymore?
