If a dad had threatened lawsuit after his daughter was told to change a National Breast Cancer Awareness Month t-shirt would you label it as “childish?”[/quote]
Again how does National Breast Cancer Awareness Month fit into the definition of offensive, violent, or divisive? If she were wearing a gay pride shirt, was told to change it and her parents threatened a lawsuit, I would say that was childish as well.
I mean, does this fit the dress code?

How does the NRA?[/quote]
The principal stated that the shirt had an image of a gun which is not allowed by school policy.[/quote]
Why is that, in and of itself, offensive, violent, or divisive?

My guess is that any image bearing a gun is not allowed under the umbrella of violent. Not that this shirt was violent but they have to be consistent with the rules.

According to what the principal said, it would not.
I mean for the love of God…

As I said, it’s ticky tack but they put the rule in for a reason and, if I recall, often times schools have handbooks that the students and parents sign off on which spells out this rule.

Precisely.
I don’t see how an NRA shirt with a Minuteman logo fits the bill of offensive, violent and divisive either.
Thanks for stopping by. You were very helpful. Seriously.[/quote]
Clearly not one in the same here but just keep on trolling.
I suspect their aim is to prevent things such as this but they draw the line at guns.

Hmmm if only there was something a person could use to make a judgment call with. It’s right on the tip of my tongue, common something…
Seriously, if a Principle can’t use his brain to determine there is a difference between a shirt like you posted and an NRA t-shirt, I wouldn’t want him anywhere near my kids.
You guys can kick and scream all you want, I don’t find the shirt the least bit offensive either but the schools should be consistent with their policies. If the handbook says no guns, then they are going to err on the side of caution. If you want to change the way schools set their dress code policies, have at it. But getting an attorney and threatening the school because of a T-shirt does seem immature.

I don’t realy care, it’s one big joke at this point, but I seriously doubt the principle is actually consistent.
For crying out loud, kids are exposed to far worse things than a T-shirt with a gun on it (which I still don’t understand how that’s offensive at all), on a daily basis. The news shows worse things…
I mean, what does the school tell the kids when covering WWII?
“So we dropped a cylindrical thingy onto Hiroshima & Nagasaki, which made a poofy cloud full of rainbows, chocolate chip cookies, and puppy dogs. The Japanese were so moved by the gesture they surrender almost immediately out of gratitude.”
The Junior High I attended has this as their mascot. They deemed it too violent so now it is just a boot. The schools namesake was a Texas Ranger, so we were the Rangers. Go figure.
Maybe Yosemity Sam is the reason for all the people shooting up the schools. You remember he had a bad temper and would go on shooting rampages.
Do they even show him any more on Looney Toons?
