New York's extreme, unconstitutional actions against gun owners have emboldened gun-grabbers across the state -- even in the classroom. A high school student in upstate New York was suspended for wearing an NRA T-shirt that touted the 2nd Amendment after he refused to turn it inside out or cover the words with duct tape.
Shane Kinney, a 16-year-old sophomore from Grand Island, located between Niagara Falls and Buffalo, said he served a one-day, in-school suspension Monday after he refused last Friday to turn his T-shirt inside out at the request of the vice principal at Grand Island High School. The shirt was emblazoned with the NRA logo and the words, “2nd Amendment Shall not be Infringed” across the back.

Stand tall, Shane. Tell ‘em to KYA.
That’s a great shirt. I think I’ll buy one.

Niagara Falls is UP STATE New York? It’s not even in the northern half of the state.
I guess anything that is not New York City is up state these days.

Yeah, that Constitution is such a hateful thing.
Sue everyone. Sue the principle personally.
More than likely, the kid and his family do not have the funds to sue the school or the administrator for the suspension. The kid made his point but paid a price as he is now going to be a “target” for anything that may look confrontational to the school rules. I can only hope there is a good lawyer out there that will take up the torch and “pro-bono” his cause.
> Grand Island is one of those geographic oddities that makes for great trivia betting. It’s one of only a few spots in the US where you can travel South and wind up in Canada.
I worked on Grand Island for twelve years. I am so thankful that it’s in the past. There are Grand Islanders who are proud of the fact that they haven’t been off the island in 10 or 15 years. On Grand Island family reunions are the best places to find dates. And the reason so many Grand Islanders look similar is because of the reduced gene pool.
My daughter didn’t believe me until she took a caregiver job at a nursing home on Grand Island and then one day she came to me and said, “Dad you were right. Grand Island is some kind of inbred community.”
LOL
You mean like a college faculty or an MSN newsroom or Congress?
Wow you're a real stickler. My family (well my great-grandparents) are from the town(s) that holds the undisputed Upstate title, but I'd still say anything along the Canadian border qualifies. (They do say UP-state not NORTH-state.)
NIAGARA FALLS! Slowly....I...turned....step...by...step.....inch....by....inch.....
