There was a day when t-shirt's with any slogans of any type at all would have been considered a hazard to the good order of a school, much less the slogans that suggest sexual innuendos as this does.

That was my Dad's day, when he was a school Principal, and ran a good school.

If wearing "Gay Pride" t-shirts to public schools is constitutionally protected speech (and the courts have said that it is), how can we ban messages such as "Your carpet used to be part of a football field"?

But I agree with you to the extent that we were better off in the days when students wore button-down shirts and ties to school -- even to public schools. There may be no going back, though.

If your dad had been my principal, I may not have taken early retirement.
I sent a young man to the office for wearing a t-shirt advertising "Sex Wax". He was sent back to class with the t-shirt still on with no action taken.
