I’m with the school on this one. This is a learning environment, get the chip off your shoulder, employ one less lawyer and move on. Of course, I’m assuming the school would take the same action for an equivalent McCain or Bush t-shirt.
A fifth-grader in the Denver suburb of Aurora says he’s been suspended from school for wearing a homemade T-shirt that said “Obama is a terrorist’s best friend.”
the schools response….
Aurora Public Schools officials say they respect students’ free speech rights but also watch for things that might interrupt the learning environment. They say they can’t discuss the specifics of Daxx’s case.
The student was given the choice of changing his t-shirt, turning it inside out or being suspended and he chose to be suspended. Good grief Charlie Brown, obviously learning is not the students or his families top priority.
