8th grader suspended and arrested for wearing an NRA t-shirt??

My kids' school system had various clothing restrictions through the years. One I remember was those wife beater t-shirts the football players started to wear. The principal said "no can do". A few parents (one in particular a coach's wife) threw a hissy fit. Another one was the length of mini skirts. They had to be long enough so that when the girl sat down or bent over, you couldn't see all the way to Munchkin land.

What kind of idiot sues over a school's clothing requirement or restriction? What kind of lesson's being taught, that if you don't like a requirement take it to court?

Only in America.

One voted for the first time in November and he voted for Gary Johnson. Guess I wasn't good enough with the liberal indoctrination, huh.

a logical person realizes that they can accept BofAs dress code to have a job there, or not. there is no acceptance of a school dress code, the kids have no choice when their parents decide to have them state indoctrinated. that is your false equivalency.

Now that's pretty funny, "state indoctrinated." If I had sent them to the local parish school, would they have been "religion indoctrinated?"

Most of us aren't living in bunkers and home-schooling.

Oh good lord not another gun thread.

I've read the report. The kid was told to get rid of the shirt. His response was completely inappropriate and he created a disturbance for which he was justifiably arrested, taken to the local slam and turned over to his parents 30 minutes later. Try reporting this honestly. He was not arrested for wearing a pro NRA shirt.

Which brings up another point. What the fuck ever happened to the NRA. I was a member when I was in high school but that was well before the right wing loonies took it over and made it an extreme right wing political organ. The NRA used to be about teaching gun safety, the traditions of hunting and outdoorsman ship and most important, they were a great, great leader in habitat conservation. Hell I took my gun safety class from an NRA sponsored class before I got my first hunting license at 15.

Then around the early 80's they tossed that all away to become a bunch of paranoid right wing 2nd ammendment absolutist. It's just a shame what has happened to a once great organization.

he was arrested for sticking up for himself when he was right and the teacher was wrong.

That's where the teacher fucked up by addressing the kid cause he was offended by his NRA shirt. He should have just pulled the old "This shirt violates the dress code." and sent his ass home. That happened to me twice when I was in high school and the courts have given leeway to schools to enforce dress codes. So the teacher handled it poorly. The students response though was inappropriate and it was his response that got him in hot water, not the stupid shirt.
