School administrators reprimanded a 13-year-old girl for showing up to school wearing an LGBT-positive T-shirt this week, deeming the message "distracting" and "disruptive." The shirt bore the phrase, "Some people are gay. Get over it!" in rainbow-hued letters, and was worn by Ali Chaney of Copperas Cove, Tex. "It's just a shirt, and it's not hurting anybody," Chaney, who is gay, told KCEN-TV. But the SC Lee Junior High School maintains that the shirt violated the dress code, releasing a statement through its Copperas Cove Independent School District that notes, "Our purpose at CCISD is to educate children, first and foremost. According to CCISD's dress code in the Student Handbook and Code of Conduct, clothing that is disruptive to the learning environment based on reactions by other students is prohibited. The student was offered a school shirt to wear and declined." The district also informed KCEN-TV that, recently, a student was told to change out of a Miley Cyrus "twerk it" shirt "without incident."
Chaney's mother, Cassie Watson, wrote about the situation on Facebook on Monday in a post that has since been shared nearly 1,000 times. "So friends and family…today was a heartbreaking eye opener for my daughter Ali Chaney. She was discriminated against for wearing a T-shirt about people being gay," Watson wrote. "10 minutes into school she was called to the principal's office. She was met by all the administration in one office and was essentially bullied...

Simple solution: tell her that her shirt must be banned because it is blatantly anti-Muslim.
“already knows”
Nope, has been brainwashed is probably more like it.
The little twit and her mama signed off on the dress code at the beginning of the school year. IOW, they’re liars. Put that on your fb, mama. BTW, where’s dad in all of this? Uh, huh, I think we know how this came about.
While she was out of class with that little prank, hope she missed some very important “remember this because it’s going to be on your final next week.”
Keep in mind her response was “it’s a tee shirt and it’s not hurting anybody”
That’s an and condition. The fact that it’s a tee shirt of objective, but it not hurting anyone is subjective.
IOW tee shirts with messages that “don’t hurt anybody” (subjective judgement) are ok. Tee shirts with messages that DO “hurt”’someone are not ok.
Effectively she’s indirectly engaging in and promoting suppression of speech and thought. Would love to see her reaction to someone wearing an anti-gay tee shirt. She’d probably claim she was emotionally distressed (”hurt”) by it and demand official action.
Amen to school uniforms. Parents like the cost savings, discipline is enhanced, and students have no worries about what to wear. And if not, no clothing that doubles as a billboard for *any* cause.
Considering how much LGBT propaganda they’re pushing in public schools these days, I’m surprised she isn’t being praised for her “bravery” in outing herself.
