You might not like the message, but if this student cannot wear an anti-bullying t-shirt, the next student cannot wear a t-shirt with a US flag on it, or a shirt supporting the Marines...
So she is willing to protest for her cause, yet not willing to accept the consequences for protesting for her cause. Sounds like she needs to grow up.
*snicker*
I wonder if she was more convincing when she (I assume) attempted to persuade homosexuals to keep quiet about their activity.
I would hope that some responsible teachers would grade her down for failure to participate when required. I would also hope that other responsible but inept teachers would be relieved to have one student who was listening quietly instead of engaging in constant idle chatter (in the unlikely event that she would simply listen and not make a spectacle of her silence). I would hope that the school administrators would demand that she cover, remove, or turn inside out any shirt that violates the written school dress code. Otherwise, I would prefer that the school treat this moron exactly like I would want my kids treated if my kids worse an NRA t-shirt or some other attire with a positive but controversial message. The school has no right to censor a message based on content.
They suspended a student for being quiet.
Schools have really changed.
I hope the school district loses. The girl wished to be silent for the day and part of the Freedom of Speech is the freedom NOT to speak.
The Constitution does not end at the schoolhouse door and it’s high time the educrats learned this.
So does that mean violent protests are allowed?
The girl and the ACLU will win this case just like they won they won the case in CT.
I hope the school loses. Imagine the same scenario but it’s a Pro-life day of silence with a t-shirt supporting the cause. Now do you still hope the school wins?
I guess other students can wear anti-gay shirts??
bet they'd ban this.
You don't like the girl's message but you're not thinking this thing through.
