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]
We used to play war with toy guns on the playground at recess when I was a kid. You know, before all this school violence? Now toy guns, or even PICTURES of guns are not allowed, but we have shootings with real ones. Isn’t wonderful how far we’ve come.

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.”[/quote]
This is about the school dress code, not curriculum.

Oh okay gotcha, violence is okay if it’s in the curriculum, but not on a t-shirt.

Sure it is.
Here’s something else that’s divisive and to some, offensive: breasts.
The only solution is to ban National Breast Cancer Awareness Month t-shirt from schools.
Right?[/quote]
Except that the school does not have a policy, as far as I am aware, that does not allow a student to wear a National Breast Cancer Awareness Month shirt. They do have a policy for guns. If they did have a policy that prohibited a National Breast Cancer Awareness Month T-shirt and a student wore one, they could expect to be asked to change.

Interesting.[/quote]
The curriculum is shaped by a number of people, the student chooses what clothes to wear. Do you see the difference?

You tell me.

Well, I figured since you were makings some major assumptions about me that you must know me pretty well.
My kinda thing? Well, I’m pretty fond of lifting weights, horror movies. I like to read and write. I like to go hiking, camping, and play video games when I have the time, which I haven’t had the time for any of these recently. I’m a scorpio, I like long walks on the beach…

It’s 2013. Why the hate for Comanches? Wait, I get it. One of those traditions the NRA lays claim to was the killing of Comanches. I suppose it’s not fair to pay homage to those who were victims if you don’t glorify those who were killing them. [/quote]
