alex, you are just an ass. i dont love Bush or Republicans and i dont care about the good or bad fashion sense.
you made a lot of decisions with a flimsy story. you were able to read into everyones motivations - namely the school board and school principal and concerned faculty, even though none of them were interviewed. its a pretty one sided piece that you are using to make a really pointed political point about the perfectly flawed US Constitution.
you know nothing about the kid. you dont know that he was not warned 50 times for wearing similar clothes. you know nothing about the dress codes of that school (most schools have dress codes) - you really dont know a fucking thing about anything and you are disecting an insignificant story to make a broader point about the Constitution.
you drew conclusions
1) "The T-shirt was a legitimate political expression"
but you dont want to talk about if its illegal to call someone a terrorist
2) "He said he wore the shirt Monday to express his anti-war position and for a class assignment"
- ok... "he said" usually there is two sides to a story right? where is the second?
3) "So they weren't worried about offending bush?"
- who knows what they were worried about you fucking moron... this is JUST AN ASSUMPTION ON YOUR PART
4) "but they shut someone's right to free speech down because some people might be 'inflamed'. No guidelines, no standards..."
what guidlines and standards? is there a statement from the principal? the school board? is there a statement by the school? a copy of the school dress code policies?
there is nothing there... you are making all these horrific assumptions with only a fraction of the story and then calling it "facts"
RawAlex, you are the best case i have seen yet for moving the age of abortion from second trimester to 40 years old.
