It's not when you consider in the broader framework of school dress codes.
I'm not getting yours or their argument. There is clearly no violent imagery on this student's shirt. It does seem to indicate his support for an organization that defends 2nd Amendment rights though. I'm pretty sure if he wore a shirt indicating his support of a particular Teacher Union, it wouldn't be an issue.
It would have been an issue if it had a gun on it. Once again, you guys are so focused on the political message that you're missing the actual issue.
I'm also wondering where this belief that the school is filled with starry-eyed leftists is coming from. This a small town in West Virginia. It's a district Romney carried by 40 points. Romney carried this county by a larger margin than he carried any state except Utah (and even that was close).
If I had a rifle shoved in your face, I have the feeling you wouldn't consider that peaceful...
It was a piece of cotton cloth with an image on it, not a rifle.
But it's promoting the action, just like shirts with drug items on them.

What action, defending yourself? How about if it had a picture of an F-15 on it? Would that violate the rules?

Of shooting people. The argument that you guys are advancing about "guns aren't violent" ignores the function of guns.

Guns are inanimate objects. Violence is an action. Inanimate objects don't do actions. So, no, guns are violent.
You didn't answer the question I asked: would a pic of an F-15 violate the rules?

Well, that's how you see it. But others would see it as him wearing a shirt indicating support for Constitutional Rights. Either way, they over-reacted. It's just plain stupid. Just more proof our State-Run Education System is in shambles. They should simply leave the kid alone and move on.

No, but that more a matter of abstraction (you can't carry an F-15).

It's not "how I see it". It's the function of a gun. Guns are used to shoot things.

So a pic of a AR 15 rifle is "violent," but a picture of an F-15 - a machine that has dealt out death to thousands of people - isn't violent?
BTW, an F-15 has a 20 mm Vulcan cannon built into it. If a pic of a gun is against the rules, why isn't a pic of a machine that carries a very big gun against the rules?

So are F-15s. Are they against the rules or not?
No, but that more a matter of abstraction (you can't carry an F-15).

It's not that it isn't violent. It's the practicality of use issue (as, technically speaking, it would violate such rules as well).
Yes, it was. The neo-anarchist and libertarian faux rage here fools no one.
Wrong again, Fakey. There is no category for having a picture of a gun on your shirt.
yes, you are wrong again. the rules and regs were clear. the boy defied the teacher, defied the principal, defied the police. a psychiatric hospital for teenage boys who do not get it is in his future.
What political correctness, Game Boy. He has every right to specify his belief within the school regs and rules. He doesn't get to tell a teacher "no" and think he can walk away unscathed.
He is going to a teen lockup.
School rules do not stop freedom of expression. What do you think America is? The New USSR?
You need to consider that an NRA shirt or banner is insulating to some people, such as the wealthy, and foreign interest.
When we see this it reminds us that we aren't SHIT, until we can remove the guns from Americans.
This feeling of hopelessness causes us to retreat into a mental state of forced behavior ............ it is unpleasant .......... so naturally we must do something to change it.
I actually think the ACLU in cooperation with NAMBLA could make it illegal to display NRA content publicly.
