May 3, 20232 yr https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/apr/28/michigan-students-sue-lets-go-brandon-sweatshirts Quote Two students in Michigan have filed a lawsuit against their school district after they were banned from wearing "Let’s Go Brandon” sweatshirts. ... According to the lawsuit, one of the brothers wore a "Let’s Go Brandon sweatshirt” to Tri County middle school last February. The sixth-grader was stopped in the hallway by the school’s assistant principal who asked that he remove the sweatshirt, saying that it was equivalent to "the F-word”. The lawsuit states that the slogan "conveys the same opposition to President Biden, sanitized to express the sentiment without using profanity or vulgarity”, adding that the sweatshirt "did not disrupt class, cause disturbance among students, or invade the rights of others”. A few months later, the boy’s older brother also wore the sweatshirt to the same school. The eighth-grader was removed from class and was asked to remove his sweatshirt, which he did. https://wpde.com/news/nation-world/7th-grader-sent-home-from-school-for-wearing-t-shirt-that-said-there-are-only-2-genders Quote A 12-year-old middle school student is speaking up after he said he was sent home from school for refusing to remove a T-shirt that read: "There are only two genders." Liam Morrison, a 7th grader at John T. Nichols Jr. Middle School in Middleborough, Mass., told the Middleborough Public Schools board during an April 13 meeting that he was removed from his gym class a few weeks prior by school staff and told to take off his shirt because people were complaining that it was making them feel unsafe. When he refused, school staff called Morrison's father, who was then forced to come to pick him up and take him home, the 7th grader said. "Yes, words on a shirt made people feel unsafe. They told me that I wasn't in trouble, but it sure felt like I was," Morrison told the MPS board. "I was told that I would need to remove my shirt before I could return to class. When I nicely told them that I didn't want to do that, they called my father." Why does the left hate free speech and our constitution so much? Sad.

Sad. When I was in HS I had to turn a T-shirt inside out because it had a little green man flipping the bird with a caption that said hey Iran. Schools have always had dress codes.

School admin said not to worry about, teacher was a busy body. edit: shirt was long-sleeve version of this

Not fake outrage.

If you read the first article, part of the lawsuit states that the school "does not prohibit students from the right to express their political views or from wearing clothing with political slogans". As for the second - I would definitely agree that part of their dress code would be to ban any and all clothing that states a scientific fact on it. Keep licking them boots, boys!!

The point is that schools often have overly strict dress code policies. My post gave an example of me being annoyed with them, not defending them. How did you misconstrue that as me licking boots? That makes no sense.

This is pretty funny from a troll who likes to paint anyone who disagrees with him as being outraged. Our 1a rights are not in jeopardy because a couple of 6th graders were sent home for wearing clothing that the school deems inappropriate.

Listen guys, it's ok if you hate free speech and our constitution - you have that right.

Again, my post was clearly being critical of my school's stupid dress code policy. A teacher tried to say the logo on a sports shirt was considered nudity. That you read my post, and somehow came away with the impression that I was defending the dress code, is equal parts hilarious and unsurprising.

May 4, 20232 yr So you're telling me that you just randomly posted a story about your school's dress code because you DIDN'T think those kids were violating their school's dress code? OK Keep up the good work

OK Keep up the good work Look, I know we often throw around cliches about trumpbots being inherently illiterate and incapable of reading a calendar, but that doesn't mean you need to go out of your way to reinforce them. This really isn't that hard, Mr. Mack. Let me break this down further into smaller digestible bites so that you don't get too overwhelmed... The example you gave was a kid who wore a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt and got in trouble for it. The teacher/school tried to claim that it was the equivalent of profanity, which is obviously stupid. It's an inside joke, meant to refer to profanity, but that's not the same thing as actual profanity. It would be like a kid wearing a shirt with the words "What the Fudge" or "Shut the Front Door" and getting in trouble for it. The school's stance on this is completely asinine but something that probably isn't too uncommon. And on that point, to describe how I was in a similar situation, I gave a personal anecdote of how a teacher in my high school similarly tried to claim the logo of my soccer shirt was equivalent to nudity, which again, is beyond stupid just as it was to the school in your article that tried to claim "LGB" was equivalent to profanity. In both cases, the school's interpretation of the dress code was clearly insane and deserving of ridicule. Take your time reading through that, I know it's a lot, but just take breaks when you get tired or confused.

So you had teachers who also hated free speech, our constitution, and freedom in general. That explains why you and TNT feel the same way all these years later. I would have thought our supposed freedom loving President would have taken steps to eliminate this fascism but alas, here we are. The poor kid who probably has an uncle named Brandon can't even show support for him anymore, and the hopeful future scientist can't show his appreciation for gender studies. Sad.

Valid point, this is definitely Biden's fault.
