Pornodoggy, I was one of (hopefully) many people who sent a letter to our Federal Justice minister asking him to look into this issue. It is disgusting, especially considering our courts have quite clearly defined child porn and make it very easy to punish.
There is public outage in many parts of Canada as a result. It sucks. But, ya see, Canada doesn't claim to be perfect or to be the model for the world... so when we have a wart, we can all look at it and say "wart" without having to offend someone on the left of Rush Limbaugh.
The story is all about free speech, and as Gigi pointed out, the school is 55% arab american - I like the idea that they might be getting less freedom of speech because of who they are... that the arab part is more important than the american part... like I said, there is alot more to this story than WHAT they were trying to say...
The suggestion is that this same T-shirt might not be offensive in another school with less arabs... it's odd to look at.
