"Don't drink and drive"

If the principal finds that disruptive he's the one who needs to leave permanently.

Some schools passed a dress code that included no shirts with slogans. maybe we aren't getting the whole story.

[Rebelbase]

Tell the principal what you think:

Perhaps the slogans reminded Mr. Duck of just how irresponsible he was for getting behind the wheel while soused.

Boy howdy, I'd expel the little twit if she wore a tee-shirt proclaiming, "don't do drugs" or "study hard". Who does she think she is?? Must be one of those religious nutcases.///s

His skin is thin too. Her shirt actually had a positive message.

Gee, school is getting tough. I remember getting sent home for my two shirts. But, they were over the top compared to this. My shirts said "Eat Sh*t and Die Motherfu**er" and "Simon Says Go Fu*k Yourself". (Note, the shirts had it all spelled out, I added the ** in hopes of not angering the mods.)

"It's a matter of privacy and protection of their rights."

What rights, Mr. Duck? You say she doesn't have a right to wear a T-shirt that you don't like. Quack, quack..

An 18-year-old high school junior... I'm willing to bet she isn't that smart to begin with.

And you hugged your mom with those shirts on? :)

I've got one for her:

[beansox]

he may be drunk and paranoid, but schools are not run as a democracy but rather a monarchy and if he allows hers, then he has to allow them all and guaranteed the slogans will go down hill from here on out.

"The courts give me the authority and the right to make those decisions and as long as I'm sitting in this chair that's what I'm going to do."

The courts don't have the authority to give the principal of a public school authority to commit egregious violations of the 1st Amendment. "Disruptive" can only be legally defined in a neutral way. The only thing "disruptive" about the shirt is that it reminds the principal and the other students about a past misdeed committed by the principal. There is certainly nothing inherently disruptive about a T-shirt bearing a "don't drink and drive" message being worn at a high school.

No, she did not know I had them. I have always been very un-PC. I like the shock factor.
