A) Nothing to do with Clinton
(distraction device-have no real arguement)
B) Nothing to do with Linda Tripp
(distraction device, have no real arguement)
C) The school board makes firing decisions in situations like this, not us
YOU compared the teacher to Clinton---because your arguement stinks on ice. I just saved you the trouble of comparing him to Hitler, since you were going to anyway. And if you weren't why did you compare the guy to Clinton, anyway? I know, because (as I said before) your arguement stinks on ice.
And, I've CRUSHED your "arguements", so you've won nothing. No lovely parting gifts, no door prize. Now, stop embarrasing yourself and quit while you're WAY behind.

NO I agree with you. I was suggesting that HE may be one of those guys, flirting or making advances with the girls at the high school, while under the influence. not the girl. Got it? Understood
To: Arthalion
Heck, I knew the difference a LOT earlier than that.
Sure ya did!
If you can't see the wisdom in maintaining certain moral and ethical standards for those who oversee our children, then there's no point in arguing with you.
I'm not "arguing" with you, I'm SMACKING YOU AROUND LIKE A PING-PONG BALL.
Schools have rules and a chain of command. Said student VIOLATED those rules, repeatedly and willfully. The rules were enforced.
If you disagree with the rules, move to the district and run for the school board and change them. If not, mind your own business.
Period.
End of Story

Using your logic all programs in school that advocate "Don't Drink and Drive" should be banned becaus someone might relate it to the Principal and make the Principal feel embarrassed.
The truth is that the Principal should have been standing next to that girl in the hallways between classes pointing to the shirt and saying "She's right! Look at all the trouble I got into making that kind of mistake!"
The problem is that it sounds like the Principal is more concerned about his reputation than he is about the truth and sending a good message.
The truth should never be stepped on just because it disrupts things a little.
To: gtwizard
Actually, we have no idea what that principal did 6 YEARS AGO when the violation occurred. I suspect that it's brought up again just because the girl, an 18 year old JUNIOR, wants to be difficult. Please see #132

We know that "administratorS" (note the "S") consider the t-shirts and slogans to be disruptive. We know that a suspension was upheld, and if I know a superintendent and his lawyer well, I'll bet they checked with the administratorS (other than principal) on this. You can bet that if this was a big RED FLAG that they would have pulled this principal up to a screeching halt by his short hairs.From the article: "The school system's dress code forbids disruptive clothing, grooming and symbols. Principals decide what's disruptive." So the principal made the initial call (I think we agree on that part). After that, I think the instinct of administrators is generally to uphold the principal's decision, for fear of undermining his authority.
Unlike others on this thread, I'm not doubting that the principal's action was "legal", and it may very well be upheld by the courts. It was still highly inappropriate and unprofessional, by all indications.

If you don't like the rules of the school, move to the district, get elected, and change them.
Commie.

I sense you are an educator, past or present. If not then you should be.

I've no doubt that the principal was wrong 6 years ago when he had his dui.
I also think that the court will uphold the principal. (I think there's a lot not said in this article.) In my opinion, the student also is out of line and distracting from the school's educational mission. That's just me.

Principals decide what's disruptive. I see. Not exactly a great dress code and they are just asking for trouble.

ROFLMAO!
I had one that said:
I'm just like a Pit Bull
If I can't f*ck it, fight it, or eat it,
I don't want it!

The girl should lose this suit. The school should win. I don't agree.
*Disruptive* is an ambiguous term. Racial epithets, vulgar language, etc are disruptive.
'Don't drink and drive' is a national slogan printed on everything from shirts to bumperstickes.
It's his own guilt over his own actions (and getting caught for it) that's the problem
The girl is just a convenient whipping post.

Only time will tell. Hopefully, we'll be informed of the results when they come down.
I think the first paragraph indicates that the shirt contained more than one slogan. We're not told of the others. I'm afraid this indicates that the media went for the "sensational" headline and left out other relevant data.
I think this is so because it's been 6 years. I think this is so because the girl is an 18 year old Junior in High School. I think it's so because the follow-on Tshirt included a too cute DUI reference.
Time will tell.
