Father wants school dress code changed after son asked to remove Marines T-shirt

As I saw it, the father was asking for the dress code to be changed, to allow the t-shirt - perhaps, he should have asked for the dress code to be abandoned, not changed, then some wouldn't have the canard about this being big government versus small government.

Which is where the whole thing gets silly since the shirt in question does not violate the dress code and the father never bothered to actually, you know, check that before going to the media. There is so much stupid in this whole thing it is amazing.
 
BWHAAAAA! yeah that's it....hahahahaha......because the education system is so over wrought with conservatives...:lamo ....God Red...Sometimes you crack me up....:lamo

So you can show where the teacher is a liberal? Bet you can't. Face it, you made an assumption based on no facts.

don't fault the father

his kid (reluctantly) complied with the (over)enforcement of the rules

no reason not to believe his kid was being denied the ability to wear his attire for bogus reasons
 
When you get right down to it, the kid had to turn his T shirt inside out for a day, then the superintendent straightened up the issue. Now Faux makes it national news and it takes over the RW blogoshpere. Oh the outrage...


Well, to be fair....highlighting that shouldn't be a problem. It exposes the liberal hyper sensitivity and foolishness.
 
The problem here, the really really big problem here is not the shirt, it is not the dress code, it is not a liberal teacher going nuts about the image of an assualt rifle. It is not that it took the super a day or two to fix it. The problem here is clearly Fox news searching for an outrage, every day, 24hours a day 7 days a week. This story did not even make the local papers. It is stupid and meaningless. We only heard of it so Fox can stir up the RW nutjobs out there looking for something to get all stirred up about. Another example of those damn libs in our school system hating on our God, Country and Corps. This is an outrage, but it is not the outrage Fox is pushing.

Oh come on now....really? I think we are long beyond determining the if it walks, talks, and acts like a duck then it might be a horse argument aren't we?

Agreed - however, readng between the lines I can imagine he didn't get much cooperation at the school level when he first complained - I used to work in education administration so I saw how prison-like some schools can be when the school administration gets too power drunk.

Right up to the point, but the father then went to the media with a claim he never bothered to check.

That is not FOX news, that is the media in total, who have to sell papers and draw viewers. Outrage is good at doing that.

I figured you would not be able to actually back up your made up claim. Good to know I was right.

I do not see any such indication in the article.

No, but there are definitely conservatives individuals in it. Both my Sister and my Cousin would qualify as two Conservative teachers I know.
 
From even Fox's story the Superintendnt fixed the situation immedaiately. Again, just another meaningless Fauxrage.

the kid came home with his shirt inside out and was told he either had to comply or be suspended.

I'm glad the father went to the media. now that idiot teacher has her name attached to her decision.

by the way, you are wrong about the father. He knows the shirt wasn't a problem, but feels if the rules are so loosely interpreted they should be changed.

This policy that they have in place can obviously be loosely interpreted, so they need to change it.”

And in this case, I can relatively understand a parent trusting that a Teacher actually knew the rules they were supposed to enforce and trusting that teacher rather than going to the school to dig up the rules himself. I think that'd be a relatively standard action for most people who aren't necessarily involved in legal or political things routinely (and thus would think of that kind of thing)

What a obtuse way of approaching the argument....Getting all offended that the over reacting teacher was offended at the cross arms on a marine t-shirt....maybe it is an assumption on my part about the teachers ideology, but I prefer an educated guess....See, if it were a conservative teacher, he wouldn't have reacted to the t-shirt in that manner. Only a pansy liberal gets all offended by shows of support of our troops, or their weapons...That is my opinion.
 
Religious middle aged mother of 2, that just screams liberal.

Who adores Gibbs and NCIS. :mrgreen:

I agree with the admin, she was probably just gun-shy because of all the recent shootings.
 
The father called Fox News.

Is this a general excuse for jumping to conclusions, or only valid against perceived liberals?
 
Let me try this one more time. A teacher made a kid turn his T shirt inside out becaue of mistaken interpertation of the school rules. Superentiendt fixes it. Bingo, it is national news. Am I the only one that sees a problem with this.
 
He is not involved in leagle or polotical things so he didnt think about talking to the school, his first thought was calling fox news. Yep, you are right, the sky is blue.
The sky is blue.

Your statement has nothing to do with what I stated

not only is it national news, it is drawing interest on forums.

How is that a problem? Taking away from the Kardashians?
 
It gets you guys all rilled up about something that is not really an issue. My Mom will be sending me emails about this tonight. It is a no issue that further divides the right and left for no real reason.
