Proving once again that our schools are turning into left wing indoctrination centers.

ARWDQ?

Another Right Wing Drama Queen.

He was charged with obstruction and disturbing the education process.

LOL. Disturbing the "education process". More like, "indoctrination process".

Criminal government doesn't like it when the sheep inside the re-education camps don't conform. They have to be arrested and put back in line from time to time.

The left wing is arresting people for wearing a tee shirt.

Not just people, but children. Think about that for a moment. A child was arrested by an armed agent of the State for nothing more than wearing a shirt with a graphic on it.

This sort of thing doesn't happen in rational, free societies. This only happens in Soviet Union-style police states.

This is not a drama queen incident. A kid was arrested for wearing a T-shirt. You don't see it that way because the shirt was something you disagree with. I could maybe see disciplinary action from the school, but arresting him? This is what is wrong with our school systems.

 

[Matt1970]

I wore a "Who Farted?" pin to school one time. The Principal saw it and asked me to remove it. I asked her why and she she said it offended her. I asked "Why, do you fart too much?"

I had a nice 3 day vacation I see now I could have been arrested.

Yeah, I'm sure a student won't be questioned for wearing a shirt with "Jihad by Al Qaeda" on it. The NRA is a suspect group and its supporters might well need to be investigated, especially a child who may be indoctrinated in violence.

 

[Slick5150]

He was not arrested for wearing a t-shirt. He was arrested for obstructing an officer. You can argue about whether it was warranted to call an officer to the scene, but if the officer felt threatened or interfered with by the kid during the process, then yes, he would be arrested.

But, of course, having any of this in context might distract from your "Liberal Indoctrination" (whatever that is even supposed to mean) conspiracy theory.

That said, I have some question as to why he was wearing the shirt. I don't remember anyone giving two shits about the 2nd amendment when I was in middle school. It's plausible that the parents told him to wear it to intentionally provoke a confrontation.

Granted, maybe they were right to do so, as the school responded with resounding idiocy. Suspended? If he violated some dress code, sure. Arrested? WAY too fucking far.

 

[nehalem256]

Yet another case of the left wanting to silence anyone at gunpoint who disagrees with them.

Whether those people be little old ladies or middle school students.

Its probably because they are so tolerant and open-minded.

 

[sourn]

Since the whole story isn't clear. I'll go with suspension may have been called for if he mouthed off to much. But arrested.. That's going way to far. I hope in some way, shape, or form this school gets it's ass handed to them.

Texas schools have had "zero tolerance" laws since I was a kid. Wearing a shirt with a gun on it would get you instantly kicked out, and if you caused a commotion the cops would be called. I got the cops called on me for a simple fight in 8th grade over 20 years ago. They will call the cops on you for almost anything these days. It called covering their ass. Now my kid wears a uniform (split on how I feel about that).

Just my 2 cents and Im a pro 2a gun loving Texan.

Exactly. What fvcking 8th grader wears an NRA shirt? Sounds like his parent are trying to push a political agenda.

And this is coming from a guy that likes guns.

agreed. though i'm curious as to how it became a "big deal" in the first place. did the shirt actually disrupt class, or did the teacher not like the shirt, and the student attempted to argue that the shirt was not an issue, which in turn caused a disruption?

the "inappropriate attire" clause probably gives the school enough leeway to discipline him (detention, suspension, etc.). but to arrest him? LOL.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

t's plausible that the parents told him to wear it to intentionally provoke a confrontation.

Just like the soldier in Texas that was walking around with a AR-15 slung over his shoulder.

Um.. my kids have had similar shirts made to be turned inside out. Fuck you and your left wing bullshit nonsense. Do you ever get tired of the faux rage?

Were your kids ever arrested if they refused to do so? The whole story isn't clear here, but I sincerely doubt there was adequate cause to arrest an 8th grader.

 

[Moonbeam]

Isn't the purpose of the NRA to insure as much gun violence in America as possible so people feel a need to buy them for protection against them? Why would an organization's tee shirt, if bent on societal destruction and school ground killings, be proper attire for the classroom?

Nope, just suspended for refusing to turn in around. Had pictures of skulls, album art, guns... Not sure what this kid did to get arrested. Seems drastic unless the kid was being insolent/violent...

 

[IBMer]

The cause of the arrest might be completely independent of the shirt. What if he was told to take it off/turn it inside out and said no and as such was asked to leave and refused? People are jumping on the cause being the shirt, but in all likely it was actions or behavior after the issue of the shirt that came up that caused the arrest. Something that likely would have occurred no matter what shirt he was wearing.

Hopefully. But right now all we have to go on is the parents' word, and there's no reason (yet) to think they were lying.

Yeah cause kids never lie to their parents or think their kids are guilty. You should watch the interview of the Boston bombers mother :whiste:

I'm not saying they (or the kid) didn't lie, just that we don't have any proof that they did. A comment from the school might clear things up.

 

[Juror No. 8]

It's amusing to read all the rationalizations coming from the Big Government nutters in this thread. If the arrested child had been a black kid wearing an Obama shirt to school in a small conservative town, they'd be screaming bloody murder right now.

"But, but, but... he was just exercising his First Amendment rights! The teacher had no right to make an issue of it! It's just a shirt! This is racism!"

LOL, what a bunch of phonies.
