Again....for the umptenth time......it's not about the shirt. The OP was not completely honest and by leaving out critical information about the kids behavior the OP was essentially a lie of omission.
8th grader suspended and arrested for wearing an NRA t-shirt??

To me, the OP is much more about the suspension than the arrest.
I still don't really see enough in the way of detail to judge the arrest, but I'm not going to blame a kid for his reaction to something that is way out of whack with what America should be about.

Again Mutt... it is entirely about the shirt. It was the TEACHER that started the incident. The TEACHER had no right to do so. The TEACHER violated the school policy. The TEACHER was in the wrong.

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.

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.

So you refuse to show anything that supports your claim the kid acted inappropriately or 'threw a tantrum'???
Then when called on your bullshit you resort to your above nonsense?
Violating a kids rights is ok with you and those that think otherwise are just making a mountain out of a molehill? You have gone beyond the absurd here.

No, the kid was not. You have not shown anything that supports your claim that he acted inappropriately. NOTHING. He refused the teachers request. He had a right to do so. For it was the TEACHER in the wrong. Not the kid.
So either show us your evidence he acted wrong or shut the fuck up.

which is complete nonsense on your part. You are simply trying to evade providing evidence to support your bullshit claims.

You know the whole gun as extension of penis thing is really sort of an outmoded psychological theory. Primarily you and others of your authoritarian ilk tend to resort to this in an attempt to embarrass and ultimately shut down debate. I don't even need a snub nose 38 to make my penis feel bigger it's plenty big enough as it is. So wanna get back to the issue, or should I start in about how you are just a liberal male who has allowed himself to be feminized by the women on the left?

The article does not give the detales as to how he "stood up to the teacher". If he caused a sceen and seriously disrupted school he got arrested for that. If he did not cause a sceen and did not disrupt the school, he should not have been arrested.
Either way, the kid should have exausted every peacefull and legal way to protest the policy before committing civil disobedience.

"Logan police arrested Marcum at the school last Thursday after he refused a teacher's order to remove the shirt. White says prosecutors are reviewing the case to determine whether to file charges.
Marcum has said that he was arrested on charges of disrupting an educational process and obstructing an officer, though White said Monday that the Logan County prosecutor's office is reviewing the case to decide whether to proceed."

So there you go folks. He was not arrested for wearing an NRA t-shirt.

Other than the fact that he was arrested? No, but I can probably dig up a news story or two if you really need one. Maybe he didn't. I don't know. But his alleged conduct is what led to the arrest, not the wearing of a t-shirt.
If the kid tried to address the issue respectfully and in a legal manor, and met with dead ends. I completly support him if he quietly sat in class with the shirt on and was arrested for it, he should fight in the legal system if he did that.
If thats the case, he is akin to Roas Parks.

That is EXACTLY what I think. We live in a country where children are now suspended for eating their pop tarts in such a way that it MIGHT look like a gun, and where kids can now longer play cops and robbers or cowboys and indians (oops native americans) for fear of being suspended for turning their fucking hand into a gun. Our "fear" of the gun has turned our schools into places where boy behavior is now disallowed, can't play dodge ball, tackle football or hand out first second and third place ribbons because we don't want anyone to get their feelings hurt. Teachers have become almost as authoritarian as cops.
