Teen Sent Home Over ‘Disruptive’ Shirt


Posted: Sep 15, 2015

Story at link, but teen sent home from school over T-shirt reading, "No one knows I'm a Lesbian."

I cannot believe our country has become filled with over sensitive whiny babies who can't filter out what they don't agree with.  I've seen far worse on T-shirts than what was printed on this young lady's T-shirt.  I just don't understand how this T-shirt could be considered offensive or disruptive.

his Pop Tart into something resembling a gun. It's now on his permanent record. Zero tolerance crap.

I've read article after article like this. This country has fallen of it's rocker.

I think if his name was Jack Smith or Mike Jones - this still would have been a story

in this day and age.

It sounds like he's just a kid who likes electronics.
I just read Obama invited this kid to the WH. - Don't think he invited kids of slain police

officers yet.

The only reason this kid is going to the White House is because of his name.
You do, of course, mean that he was persecuted - to begin with because of his name?

you think if he were not Ahmed and had brought the guts to an alarm clock to school everyone would have been excited?
No, I mean he was invited to the White House - because of his name. I

doubt he would be invited if his names was Jack Jones.

I don't think that's approriate either. Kids get enough - pansexuality in the media.

Why would you want to bring attention to yourself like that, other than TO bring attention like that.

I'm glad my kids wear uniforms. It cheaper in the long run - and we don't have to worry about

this sort of thing. Plus, focus is on learning and not clothes.

Seems rather exhibitionist to me, something - like a Myley Cyrus fan would do.

As the wife of a teacher, my husband has to deal with pop culture in school now and it's unlike anything I could have imaged. The way young girls dress now is unreal. I took my granddaughter shopping and it was a real eye opener.

This is sort of related. There is a proposal now to teach - sex ed to kids as young as

first grade. I know in Canada they are doing this and the parents are keeping the kids home.

I don't want my daughter to grow up like Myley Cyrus.

There's exploitation all around everywhere you go. - It's sad, plain degeneracy.

Teen Daughter's Job DramaJul 16, 2010

Teen With Impacted Canine ToothMar 27, 2012

Audacity Of The T-shirtMay 23, 2011
Got to love it!  People up on their hind legs over a t-shirt.  Snide remarks about taking money to the bank from them.  Suggestion that they donate profits to reduce the deficit. No problem with the uberwealthy having unjust tax breaks and tax dodges, but high anxiety over a campaign novelty.  A-N-D they think it is Bama who has intelligence deficits.  Hoot, hoot!   ...

What To Wear Under A ShirtJun 11, 2010

Any suggestions?  ...

You've got to be joking.  All the Obama suppporters are for that?????  Basically what it is saying is that if you support Mitt Romney you are not allowed to vote. Oh yeah, then when they realized she was wearing a school shirt and not a Romney shirt they "allowed" her to vote. I am outraged that li ...

"Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian"Jan 13, 2010
LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He's a member of his school's swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A gnawing feeling that, deep down, he may be a fundamentalist, right-wing Christian. "I don't know what's happening to me," Faber admitted to reporters Monday. "It's like I get these weird ...

Nobody knew or could give me an answer.  So I come home and type "Excedrin" into Google, and was shocked to learn that it's been recalled! (Along with 2 other, can't-do-without staples, No-Doz and Gas-X). Apparently it was recalled a month ago (something about t ...

The young assistant told us he would get her, and he asked us to have a seat.  When the door opened a few minutes later he was holding her in his arms.  It was not hard to see she has been through quite a bit.  She l ...
