Teen's right to wear sweatshirt is restored

NEWPORT NEWS -- A Denbigh High School student prevented from wearing an anti-abortion sweatshirt in school last month by a school administrator now can wear it after a Michigan law center raised the possibility of a lawsuit.

An assistant principal told Daniel Goergen on Feb. 18 to remove the sweatshirt or turn it inside-out. Printed in white letters on the front of the black, hooded sweatshirt are the words "Abortion is homicide." The back reads "You will not silence my message / You will not mock my God / You will stop killing my generation."

Sweet! I hope marilyn manson, slayer shirts, are allowed next in my old high school.

And I hope someone wears a sweatshirt with:

Front: I have a choice over my body.
Back: You will not silence my message/You will not mock my beliefs/You will stop removing my generation's rights.

Nice potshot/personal attack there, tough guy. Free speech means freedom for ALL speech, not just the speech YOU agree with. Seems like a lot of people have trouble with that concept. They are all for free speech...until someone says something they don't like.

Excellent flamebait. Too bad you really suck.




If we think some kids ability to wear a sweatshirt in school is a "victory" for free speech, we have a LOT to worry about.

Well you have to see it from the view of the School District (SD), the SD is trying to teach so they take a very parasol approach to free speech on campus, they pretty much try to remove it all in order to not have to deal with people and their "extremist" (ie non-norm) views.

Well, in order for it to be murder, you'd have to have a law defining it as such. So, if he's and idiot, I guess that makes you a moron?
