I'm very curious to see if the ACLU will represent the child in this case or at least offer to. They sucessfully represented the right of children to wear anti Bush shirts to school in a couple different states.


Fifth-grader wore anti-Obama shirt

A fifth-grader says he has been suspended from school for wearing a homemade T-shirt that said "Obama is a terrorist's best friend."

Daxx Dalton, 11, and his father, Dann Dalton, said that the boy's First Amendment rights were violated.

Aurora Public Schools officials said they respect students' free-speech rights but that they also watch for things that might interrupt the learning environment. They said they cannot discuss the specifics of Daxx's case.

Daxx said he was given a choice of changing his shirt, turning it inside-out or being suspended, and he chose suspension

[quote]The boy's father Dann Dalton describes himself as a "proud conservative" who has taken part in some controversial anti-abortion protests. Dalton says the school made a major mistake by suspending his son for wearing the shirt.

"It's the public school system," Dalton says. "Let's be honest, it's full of liberal loons."

Did you see the size of that shirt? The fatty next to him is probably his dad.

At least use the proper markers if your going to make a shirt...

Nothing like poisoning a child's mind. What 11 year old would want to wear that? Nice parenting, I'm sure the kid will grow up fine.

Another way obtuse and indefensible analogy born of ignorance the likes of which we've seen before and will surely see again. Why do these wacky people think comparing those with opposing views to terrorists is rational or constructive [V]

Well said! I'm thinking they: (1) want all the attention, 15 miute fame whores, and (2) the kid was given 3 choices, he took the worst one, so they could sue the school district! [:(!]

These people don't deserve the publicity. The dad's a straight-up douche for sending his kid to school in a shirt like that. The school did the right thing. A friend of mine had to turn his shirt inside-out in high school back in '88. It was one of those "See Dick Drink/See Dick Drive/See Dick Die/Don't Be A Dick" cartoon shirts. A teacher thought it was inappropriate, and my friend obliged, no big deal. Attention whores, definitely.
