Is this the school where they read an Islamic poem instead of 9/11 remembrance?

If they would have wore Obama t-shirts they would have gotten medals.

Why don’t schools just band any type of tee shirts except plain tee shirts. This will alieviate this type of thing. Why parents allow their kids to wear political shirts anyway is beyond me. My boys wear a shirt and tie and the girls wear a uniform one piece. Absolutely never a problem at the Catholic Schools.

If they had called ME down to change MY kids shirt, they’d not appreciate my showing up

Two things: I would like to know WHO complained. I would like to know WHAT was considered “appropriate” by these morons.

Hmm, you might want to actually watch the video. It says that this was for “Spirit Week” which happened to coincide with 9/11 this year. The students were given a day to wear patriotic shirts instead of the uniforms that are usually required for classes.

The issue is why were the shirts the boys were wearing not considered to be patriotic? Kind of a dumb decision on the part of the staff and leadership of the school IMHO.
