You're trying to have 2 different debates.


Am I? You said this was caused because of a complaint by a student. Presumably the student was offended by the shirt. If safe spaces didn't exist and students had to just deal with being offended (rather than filing a whiney complaint), this wouldnt have happened.

Eta: I fully support a kid wearing an NRA shirt just as much as a kid wearing a BLM shirt. The other kids in school need to get over being offended. It's this BS PC culture that created safe space mentalities like this.

I get what you're saying but you can't ignore the world we live in today. It can go from "this is how I personally feel" to an all out school brawl in a matter of seconds. Why risk that shite over a t-shirt?

Suspension warranted. At this point that shite is instigating.

the assistant principal cited the school's dress code policy, which bans clothing and accessories which can "disrupt the education process.”

Santoyo says it was only after she claimed a double standard that the school announced Confederate flag clothing would also no longer be accepted on campus.


So the minute each item became a disruption, it was removed according to a preset policy?!?! It was treated identically lol.

You can't allow people to wear something that is about something you agree with then turn around and make someone change their shirt if its about something you don't support.


Where did you see this happen?

Ok, for now that is just an opionion. One I share, but it is just that.

Are you willing to allow expression of ideas that conflict with your own?

Sure she was.

Step 2 in the attention seeking playbook is to feign incredulousness, confusion, and ignorance when you are called out on your attention seeking behavior.

My Sr year in 92, I wore a T-shirt of a Smiley face with a bullet hole in his head and blood running down his face.

I was asked not to wear it again.

The fact that you can't understand how this makes you the hypocrite is funny.
