You're nuts. It's a good thing you don't want to have children. Your reactions and the others are way, way out of proportion to what occurred.

How many times have I read posts here from cons saying liberals are ruining the country because their kids are undisciplined, disrespectful and get away with murder. But let that sassy kid get asked to flip his t-shirt from the Holy of Holies NRA and all bets are off. Where does it end with you guys? Do you realize how hysterical you sound?

A kid who is BREAKING the rules and disrespecting authority is one thing. A kid being harassed by a teacher for FOLLOWING the rules is another.

If you add up the speech in school cases, what you end up with is a pretty much complete lack of student 1st Amendment rights on school grounds such that 'we don't like it so you can't say it' is basically the rule.
 
I'm not sure why there is even debate on this thread.

If someone can't wear a t-shirt like this in 2013 America, some of those dystopian movies aren't too far off. Fortunately, this seems to be the exception rather than the rule, but the reaction to this should be universally that the kid should definitely be allowed to wear that shirt.

The shirt should be allowed.

However, you idiots belive that this kid was arrested for wearing the shirt? People are either dumb, or love to jump to a belife so they can justify getting riled up.

The kid was arrested for obstruction. He was arrested for his reaction to the unjust rule, which he should fight the proper way.

I dont condone him having been arrested or the rule against the shirt... I simply hate when people belive the media hype over clear reality.

The difference here being that the kid with the "Bong Hits For Jesus" didn't throw a temper tantrum nore did he create a public disturbance to get arrested. He disputed his claim the right way.

I think you're being a little nitpicky. He's a kid. The school/teacher is the party that is more egregiously out of line here.

be careful. agreeing with me like this could place you in the extremist category. especially when most of the other statists here support instant obedience to the state.

Which is a moot point. It probably would have prevented the little moron from throwing his temper tantrum.

No, it is the entire point. He had no reason to turn it inside out. The teacher had no right to tell him to do so. You keep saying he threw a tantrum. Show us. Show us what you are reading that suggests he threw a tantrum. Link us up.

You call him a moron... why? Because he stood up for his rights?

The teacher should be reprimanded and the administration fined for violating this kids rights.

You still also have failed to answer the question... if the shirt was a violation... why did none of the others get suspended the next day? Oh yeah, because it was the TEACHER that was wrong... and the school knows it.

You keep saying he threw a temper tantrum. The ONLY person that says he caused a disturbance was the teacher. No other witness at the school substantiates that. There are supposedly one or two phone videos of the incident and the school district has refused to talk to the press at all. Leads me to believe they know they were wrong. The fact that they let the kid back in school the next day AND allowed 100 students to attend school that day with the same shirt on seems to back my view much more strongly than your "you must submit to authority" view.

automatic submission to let a higher authority decide is NOT the right way. the founders would have been disgusted with you.

That's not the issue dork. The kid threw a temper tantrum and got what he deserved.

Bullshit Mutt...

1) You have yet to show us a link that shows the kid threw a 'tantrum'... link us up... or quit spouting off
2) There never would have been ANY response from the kid if the TEACHER had not violated the school policy.
3) The TEACHER had NO RIGHT to ask him to turn it inside out. NONE.
