I don't have a problem with people to wear political stuff as they please but this is retarded. What the hell does a 5th grader know about politics? It's his father vicariously living through his son.
Not appropriate.
You're probably correct he doesn't know but it's not beyond possibility. I assume he's had information directed at him by his father, whether he divulged that is unknown. Regardless of what it says, my point is that one should be allowed to wear what they want and not be punished for being peaceful, when you're not harming anyone, you've done nothing wrong. Perhaps a stretch but i think it could hold. I guess the limits come in with racism etc but arguably there should be no limits because we're in general principle a civilized society and can distinguinsh between right and wrong without government or authoritarian involvement or interference. This is a point which goes beyond the shirt, the key values here are liberty and freedom from domination of the state power telling the people what is in their best interest. Well, only ourselves can determine this, doing our own good in our own way. The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.Quote:

Actually, the kid's father made it.Quote:

yeah it was badly a makeshift one... looked like they used lip liner for the red color... home technology eh? lol
and if u actually see the kid's father's face u will figure this whole thing out... certain faces talk outloud even in a still picture!! :D
When your'e in school you dont have any rights. For the same reason they are able to search a locker or your backpack without a warrant they are also able to regulate what you wear. The fathers lawsuit will do nothing besides lose them a lot of money that could be used to make other ugly terrbile t-shirts to be worn at home.
maybe you couldnt read those words by fifth grade, but im sure this kid could. That is rediculous to be suspended over a T shirt like that.... i hope the parents can sue the school system over this...I'm glad the kid stood up and chose suspension also, i would glad to miss some days of school at his age also. its not like his t shirt was about drugs or sex... //Quote:

If you wanna wear a pro Obama or McCain shirt, have at it. If you want to wear an anti-Obama or McCain shirt, have at it. But when you're gonna spew outright bullshit, calling Obama a terrorist, that's where I'd draw the line. Were I principal I wouldn't allow an "Obama = Terrorist" shirt, and I wouldn't allow a "Bush = Nazi" shirt either. These aren't valid opinions, they're childish insults; and frankly my biggest objection is that in a school environment, they advocate a mindset of reactionary sheeple rather than critical thinkers.
