Another example of "zero tolerance" policies in action

Jeeez, just when I think that the people running public schools couldn't possibly be any stupider, they come up with something new to demonstrate how incredibly clueless they are....

story link
 
Uh oh.
The Bible is rife with the word "damn!"
It also includes violence, sex, incest....you name it.

And I'd better not find any books in that school library....we read "Dinky Hocker Shoots Smack" when I was in 6th grade.

Obscene, obscene, obscene.

And their idiotic zero tolerance policies reflect how f*cked up the community is.

Obviously, this gril is a mamber of the community, as are her parents, therefore if they 'reflect community values' that means you cdan wear anything you want.
 
Well, I think they have a case, sort of. It's not like the pun on "damn" is hidden or anything (not like you can), and if her shirt said "and all I got was this damn t-shirt", it would be no worse, except for initial shock value.

Besides, she was being a little snot. Little kids going on about first amendment rights (and their "rights" in general) piss me off.

Why? She has just as much of a right to free speech as you do.
 
wow that worse then that stun gun one posted a few days ago,

its kinda funny because a town near where i live MT Morris Ny has the town motto "best town by a dam site" cause theres a huge dam in the gorge there
 
I don't think kids should be allowed to wear shirts with curse words on them at school. No its not the end of the world but children need to have limits, especially in school. If you allow one shirt like this they will have kids coming in with worse words that are one letter off.

"Dam" is not a fvcking curse word. Do you want to ban the words "shot", "fudge", "puck", "as", etc too?
 
If the shirt would have said DAMN, then ok. But it says DAM. DAM isn't a curse word, last time I looked.

Per Dictionary.com:

dam
n.

A barrier constructed across a waterway to control the flow or raise the level of water.
A body of water controlled by such a barrier.
A barrier against the passage of liquid or loose material, as a rubber sheet used in dentistry to isolate one or more teeth from the rest of the mouth.
An obstruction; a hindrance.


You see any curse words in there anywhere?

Yeah but it is used as a curse word, if a kid came to school in a shirt that said "PUCK YOU!" yes I would do the same thing. Don't be a Dumass! <-- Don't take offense to that as it is missing a letter

It's their school and they can make whatever dam rules they want. PS, this girl is a complete idiot for wasting her time on such a worthless "cause."

sure it's their school :roll:

dumbass.
 
As much as I hate these stupid schools and their "damn" policies, I actually kinda side with the school on this one.

Everyone knows what's implied. "Damn" is implied, and "Dam" is just a sly pun to get around sounding offensive.

We as adults might not find it much to make fuss over, but teachers don't need to have kids in their class snickering a yelling dam b/c they're too immmature.

It's no different IMHO than if she showed up wearing a shirt that said "I don't give a F---"

Three dashes might "disguise" the word, but every 12 year old knows what it is/means.

I completely agree. It was meant to say damn, and just becuase it technically doesn't say it doesn't distract from the fact that it is implied.
