yet you have failed to provide any link to back up your claim... you made it... it is up to you to provide evidence rather than telling others 'go find it'.

Mott's is lying his ass off and just wants attention.
I've asked him for something to support his assertion and all he can do is flap his gums.

The school has not given a version, the police have not given a version. The only one who has made a statement is the boy and his father. The article stated he was arrested for disturbance and obstruction. People are arrested all the time and later proof their arrest was wrong.

I'd like to know on what grounds the cops arrested the kid, if his behaviour was perfectly reasonable as he says. I bet the kid went to the office and the staff told him to either turn the shirt inside out or go home and change, and he resisted doing either.

No I'm not. The same thing happened to me when I was in High School. I was told to take a shirt of cause a teacher thought the art work was offensive. I politely refused. I was sent to the principles office. The principle asked me to turn it inside out. I politely refused. I was sent home. Mom threw a hissy fit, I changed the shirt and I went back to class.

The same thing would have happend here had the kid acted appropriately as I did but he didn't. He created a disturbance and paid the price for it.

Just proves that you're nothing more then a sheep.
 
Superfreak said:
LMAO... so you think we have to have kids to recognize that you are teaching them a horrible lesson? Sorry, doesn't work that way.

I was a know-it-all just like you until I had kids of my own. Every freaking day of their life is a lesson.

Your arguments (and the others, to be fair) about resisting authority, unfair teacher, etc. is just a cover. It's all about the guns for you.

That's definitely a galvanizing issue on this thread, but I'd feel more comforted if I saw a stronger reaction about what the teacher did from everyone. It's still kind of incomprehensible to me.

Pretty sure the teacher has to clam up because the arrest made it a legal matter for the school. Whereas the stepfather still has the right to blab his side all over cyberspace.
 
Superfreak said:
1) He did by all accounts do so
2) Quit comparing this to Rosa Parks... you think you are being clever, but you are insulting what Parks did by doing so. They are nowhere near the same.

Where are these accounts you speak of?

lol....do you know why lawyers tell their clients to make no comment?....because we know that if they tell people what happened they will be found guilty......

Ya know I bet a whole bunch of posters on here would be singing a different tune if he wore an "I Hate Jesus" shirt, was told to remove it, and threw a temper tantrum.

Ultimately here is the real difference between you and me. I will defend your right to speak even if I don't agree with you? You have exhibited a completely contrary view to that. You will defend someones speech, but only if you agree with it.

Pure nonsense. This is about a teacher abusing authority and trying to make a political statement in school. That teacher should be suspended for his/her actions.

This has nothing to do with guns. It has to do with a school punishing a kid for following the rules. You want to change the topic to guns because you know we are correct. The teacher was wrong. The school is being silent because they know it. Which is why they did nothing when 100 kids showed up in the same shirt a couple days later.

This has nothing to do with 'resisting authority'... it is about not blindly following authority as many on the left have suggested. The teacher was wrong, the kid should not have even been asked to turn his shirt inside out. Everything that resulted from that point on is a because of the teachers abuse of power.

As for the 'know it all' line of crap, you don't have to have kids to know you are teaching them a bad lesson. A bad lesson is a bad lesson...
 
Superfreak said:
Have you heard the school refute it? No. The school remains very quiet.

As for Mutt... yes, he is taking just the schools word for it. He keeps pointing to the fact the police said that the kid was disruptive and obstructive... which is based on whose testimony do you think? Oh yeah, the schools and the polices.

It's because the school is playing the cya card right now and probably hoping that they aren't sued for violating the kids rights and filing a false report.
 
Superfreak said:
No, the topic is not guns. If you don't even understand the topic, then perhaps you should learn what it is before commenting?

It's about wearing a t-shirt with gun propaganda on it. You think there would have been a thread if the teacher did the same thing to a kid wearing this shirt?
