If it were a pro Bush or anti Hillary shirt, would the ACLU be heard from?
Student Wins Battle To Wear Anti-Bush T-Shirt At School
POSTED: 12:47 pm EST December 13, 2005
LANSDALE, Pa. -- A Pennsylvania student is off the hook after the American Civil Liberties Union defended his right to wear a political T-shirt to school.
Not weird enough?

Chris Schiano's T-shirt said "International Terrorist" and had a picture of President Bush.

A security guard at his high school north of Philadelphia told him to take it off. He refused.
Schiano says he's well versed in the First Amendment. He says he "knew right off they had no legal footing to stand on."
The principal says after hearing from the ACLU, school officials realized that the shirt, while potentially offensive, didn't violate the school's dress code. It had no references to sex, drugs, ethnic intimidation or explicit language.
Schiano says he's now wearing the shirt to school and no one's given him a hard time.

We used to teach civics in school when I was young. Now apparently it just suffices to let the young skulls full of mush to just be cool and teach them nothing. WHy should these so called educators care they are contributing to a moral decline? This is not about the First Amendment. Instead of rolling over to the ACLU, they should show some balls and civic responsibility. The NEA has to be brought under control.
With Rights go Responsibility. If not, you will lose them.

Some other student in his school should take his picture from the yearbook and put it on a t-shirt and wear it to the school with the caption;
Aider and Abetter for America's enemies
See how much he really likes notoriety.

Just another student who is the product of his environment.
