Another middle school student was suspended, lately, for staring at a girl. Fun times.

a couple of years ago we had a student get suspended for defending his girlfriend's honor. A boy started started calling her ugly and worse things, her boyfriend told him to stop, the boy called her a slut, and got punched in the nose.
Another teacher and I told him we were proud of him, but we do have a zero tolerence policy on fighting. He was proud and wore his suspension with pride and said he would do it again, we agreed that he should. Also, he told us that he would of hit the other boy, even if it wasn't his girldfriend, becasue you sould not talk to girls that way.

I hope this eight-grader's parents focus on the fact he loves his country and sometimes that hurts. What I hope they don't do is focus on him being a victim, which is what is wrong with our country.

AMEN to that

The really stupid part is it sounds like the school is trying to equate the shirt with "promoting violence".
I bet he's a good kid. He looks up to his older brother and he loves his country, no matter how upside -down the U.S. may be these days.

How asinine!

The boots rifle and helmet on top is used as a memorial for those who have fallen in combat for the duration of time that the unit is still forward deployed. We also hang the dog tags of the fallen on the pistol grip of the rifle. What this boy was wearing was not a shirt that was promoting violence, but rather a shirt that was mourning death, many deaths actually.

Great point.

My boys are out of school now, but had they been sent home for that reason, I'd have taken them to the gun range and given them the best day off ever.

Well said, I'll have to remember that if my children ever get sent home for such a reason

Buddy of mine was told that if he did a double take of a co-worker, they would be in violation of company policy and fired, no matter how that person was dressed. Male or female.
