But if kids wear a shirt that says "Kill Your Mom and Worship Satan," that is "free speech."

In Liberal America it is okay to offend those intolerant conservatives, but offend a leftist and you got yourself a problem.

Its a wonderful picture....I'm stunned to see that all of the inmates of our public schools haven't been completely brainwashed. Looks like the NEA missed one.

The Canton school plans to send home a letter to students and parents on Monday saying the Confederate battle flag "represents racial prejudice and divisiveness" to some and has "substantial disruption at some of our local educational institutions." He can absolutely prove that it "has substantial disruption at some of our local educational institutions." Bet he can't prove it. Why say "local educational institutions" when you can say public schools instead? Oh, I'm sorry -- Local indoctrination centers instead.

Also, the notion that these t-shirts can cause a disruption is absolutely bogus. If the teacher is speaking, the students are listening, or else there are bigger problems to tackle.

Kids in school are smart, if they think they have a [false] excuse for a disruption, they'll milk it. Coddling them is just letting them get away with a crime.

"And so you see, if we can add 2 to this side of the equation to get rid of the -2... but we have to be sure, to keep the equation valid, to add--"
"MRS SMITH! IM SORRY I CANT JUST CONCENTRATE WHEN THAT KID IN THE CORNER IS WEARING A SHIRT WITH A RACIALLY INSULTING ICON"

yeah right.

Could someone please enlighten me? Where does the "right" to not be offended come from? And, when did we abandon the freedom of speech to the hyper-sensitive few who don't like what we say?

Me thinks we have it backwards

Someone needs to get a hold of Neil Boortz about this!!! He's from Atlanta and would jump on the story. Also, we need to keep bumping this thread up on a continuing basis so the lurkers from other conservative media outlets looking for real news will pick it up help send it national.

I doubt anyone in the school has been the victim of a crime perpetrated by someone waving the Confederate flag. All of this crap about the Confederate flag being "divisive" is just liberal propaganda. People are "offended" by the flag because they've been taught to be offended, not because of anything anyone wearing the flag has done.

As much as I am pro Union/USA, (not labor union)I think this is going a little too far.

"It's not a symbol of slavery; it's a symbol of heritage that we fought in the Civil War. We had our own transgressions, but we were discriminated against," she said.

Well that tops my list as one of the more unique explanations of the cause of the Civil War. Regardless, if she and her classmates want to wear the confederate flag on their clothing, bandanas, or whatever then they have the right to do so. A lot of people died to protect that right and the Cherokee High School administration is making a mockery of that sacrifice.

Good grief. If this happens in 91% white Cherokee, then southern heritage may be eliminated altogether.

Out of over 1600 Cherokee High School students, the black school enrollment is 37 students.

""to preserve peace and tranquility among our students and to ensure teaching and learning can take place. . . ."

Through censorship? I don't think so! The only way this can be justified is if the school requires uniforms. These students need to let it be known that racist, liberal whining offends THEM! I hope some law suits are in the works against the schools in question.
