14 year old boy to get year in jail for wearing NRA T-shirt

[The2ndAmendment]

The formal logic "lesson" is really cute. It really is.

But you're basing your argument on a value judgement (he did or did not do something "wrong") that I never made.

Well you must believe either he did DO something wrong or you believe he did NOT DO (~do) something wrong.

Which is it?

Why is there so much emphasis on what it said on the shirt?

Again, no. I don't.

The world isn't clearly separated into "right" and "~right", and I generally try not to make any value judgements based on headlines.

Perhaps if I was there at the time, I'd be able to tell you who was "right" and who was "wrong".

I had a teacher try and tell me to to turn my shirt inside out and I said no way.

Kids have enough stressors and BS in their lives just getting through school years without all of this mess. Let them follow the rules and in this case it's dress code, things will be much easier for them.

Yes, you Jewish kids must take a shower, it will be easier for you!

Way to minimize the Holocaust, ignorant republican hack.

Really? You're bitching about a kid that got a one day suspension from school for violating the school dress code?

Got news for you...................yeah................he was arrested, but no...............he doesn't have to serve a full year.

Might wanna try getting the news from something other than a conservative blog.................

A one day suspension is much different than a one year incarceration.

Why is he being punished at all?

Didn't you get in trouble if you went against what the school said was appropriate?

I did on occasion.

And, I took my punishment like a human, which means that I knew I was working on pissing off people, yet I did it anyway, knowing what the possible outcomes would be.

Yeah......................he violated the school rules, which means he earned the suspension.

However.............................I don't think he should have been arrested.

You see in this world, there will always be someone pissed off at what you do ---welcome to reality.

By the way, it's this mentality that allowed New York to pass a law saying it is illegal to "annoy" cops.

When they gained the right to tell students that they can't wear nose rings, or saggy pants, or have brightly colored hair.

Tell me when, THEN tell me why its justified. It's a two-part question. Answer the "when" part first. I would like to know the precise date of when the Ninth Amendment was abrogated.

Because if you allowed students to dress how they pleased, they'd turn up in thigh high boots, a face full of make up and boob tubes?

So?

 

[Old Rocks]

Ah well, keep making problems like this and showing the rest of the nation what a bunch of ignorant rednecks you are.

This is just too funny for words. For these are the very same people that complain about lack of discipline in the schools, now they are creating, purposely, disciplinary problems.

 

[Jarlaxle]

You're lying again, pops!

Sad part is his redneck parents probably talked him into wearing it. Can you say indoctrination?

No different than elitist liberal parents talking their kids into wearing global warming propaganda. Indoctrination comes from all angles.

 

[AceRothstein]

I laugh at the notion that the left somehow stands for freedom. What a fucking joke!

Yeah, Kentucky is a very left leaning state.

 

[Wildman]

A year in jail is too harsh, but get him to remove the shirt.

Why?

If the school says remove it, he should. The school has the right to decide what you can and can't wear.

BULLSHIT lady.., (is that a true photo of yourself ? i doubt it !!) it is the "right" and responsibility of the parents !!

 

[Skull Pilot]

A year in jail is too harsh, but get him to remove the shirt.

No reason for him to take off his shirt.

Would you make a woman take off an abortion rights t shirt?

This is an intolerable violation of the kids 1st amendment rights by the school.

Followed closely (I suspect) by a further violation of his 1st amendment rights by the cops.

Some of you fools mayu think this is liberalism in action?

It isn't.

This is pure power and control freakism.

The principle, the cops all ought to be fired.

This has nothing to do with guns, this is about people right to express themselves.

 

[Wildman]

Because if you allowed students to dress how they pleased, they'd turn up in thigh high boots, a face full of make up and boob tubes?

They already do, and I, being 22 years old, can tell you just not 5 years ago, they most certainly were. Education didn't collapse because of it at Connetquot High School, according to my 17 year old, who is still there, it hasn't collapsed as of the end of the 2012-2013 school year.

So what was your point again?

Also, you haven't answered the MAIN question.

When was the Ninth Amendment abrogated, in order to give schools these rights?

I am not American so I have no idea about your Amendments.

oooooh really, i never would have guessed that fact.., so why do you put in your 2 cents worth when you know nothing about America or our Constitution ?

SO SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!!!!!

Logan City Police Chief E.K. Harper told ABCNews.com that Marcum was not arrested for wearing a t-shirt, but for "disrupting the school process."

"His conduct in school almost incited a riot," Harper said.

Jared Marcum, 14, was arrested after a confrontation with the school's band teacher over his NRA t-shirt, which bears the organization's logo and a hunting rifle.

Marcum was not put in jail, Harper said, and was released to his mother after less than 30 minutes at the police station -- normal procedure for a juvenile arrest.

White said that charges being filed against Marcum are pending the prosecutor's office's review of the evidence. But he insisted that it was the teacher who caused the issue by confronting the teen, and that video gathered from the school will prove it.

"I believe the teacher was acting beyond the scope of his employment," he said. "What the video shows is that students did step up on the benches to the tables in the lunchroom when they were escorting Jared out of building. Kids jumped up, clapping. Teachers said to get off and be quiet, and they did."

If the school says remove it, he should. The school has the right to decide what you can and can't wear.

I bet a Planned Parenthood shirt would be all the rage though...
