A bunch of boys decided to wear white T-shirts for their class group graduation picture (cheerleaders wear pink, jocks wear tank-tops, etc.). Someone accused them of being white supremacists and the T-shirts a racist statement. They were suspended.

Does a day go by without some asinine decision by a public school administrator somewhere?

What about those who are symbolically wearing brown shirts in their policy decisions?

Which is why some of us will never let our children set foot in a public school.

We had an incident similar to that here when my daughter was in high school. It’s a County school and most of the boys wear boots since these are farm/ranch kids. There was no dress code at the time. Well, the black kids decided it was racist for the white kids to wear cowboy boots. They tried to get the school to make them stop wearing boots. The white kids wouldn’t give up their boots as long as the black kids were allowed to wear Malcome-X t-shirts. The school decided that it was all silly and refused to stop the wearing of boots. The black kids decided to make a bigger issue of it by getting the NAACP involved but it backfired when the Klan showed up. The black kids and their parents decided it wasn’t worth the fight and nothing has been said since.

I wish that when the mods removed a comment, they would leave the poster’s name. That way, the rest of us could keep an eye out for serial offenders. Most other sites I’m on do this.

Does this mean that I have to throw away all my white T-shirts??

How about white socks?? Are white socks racist?? Do I need to throw away my white socks??

All the white haired little old ladies will have to dye their hair red I suppose. They wouldn't want to offend anyone.

I’ll remember that white-color-equals-racist part the next time I take an Obama.

Interestingly enough, in most urban areas it's the black kids who most often wear white t-shirts.

And the reason is to confuse the police.

If the only description of a suspect is “young black male wearing a white t-shirt” and all the kids in the area are wearing white t-shirts, it's kind of tough to zero in on the culprit.

Watch a couple of episodes of Cops. Check out the kids hanging out on the corners. You'll see what I mean.

I guess we need to get Al Sharpton to tell us exactly what our dress code MUST be.

"We're just out here improvising, Al...trying to be politically correct."

What more do you want?

*OMG...Here comes a list...

I’m battling a liberal on another site right now - he’s calling me a moron and a**hole for calling him a racist.

He had written “there’s no monkey in the list” on a “who would you pick for the Rep nomination” - so I ‘progressively’ called him out on his hateful racist rhetoric - he’s flipping his lid, can’t take it, calling me a moron.

I love playing in the streets :>)

The principal in the video is defending the school’s actions. He’s wearing a white shirt with a white teeshirt. Why hasn’t he been fired?

Uh. Big white Ts and jeans are also worn in gangs looking for a fight. Some Bloods told me that word for word, years ago.

The photo in question... I see pink, greens, blues, black, tan, yellows, jerseys... if they wanted to stand out as a group, there wasn't much else available besides white. And, of course, the asian male in their cliche is a white supremacist too. /s
