Progressives are truly Fascists

I thought conservatives liked dress codes

I like dress codes. It eliminates this bullshit.

This "bullshit" is because of the dress code.

Oregon eighth-grader suspended from school for wearing patriotic shirt showing gun

oct 11 2015 Alan Holmes, an eighth-grade student in Gresham, Ore., still remembers the day his older brother returned home after serving in Iraq with the Marines.

As he got older, Holmes’s pride turned into patriotism. He wanted to demonstrate that patriotism last week by wearing a T-shirt to school that included a design memorializing fallen soldiers and bearing the words “Standing for those who stood for us,” according to KATU. Instead, the image on his shirt — boots, a helmet and a gun — got him suspended, the station reported.

Officials at Dexter McCarty Middle School asked Holmes to change his shirt,according to Fox affiliate KPTV. When he refused, the station reported, he was given an ultimatum: Remove the shirt or face suspension.

So, if we don't agree with you we're an "america-hater", a traitor etc etc etc.

Typical right wing nonsense.

Of course they do. Are you trying to assert that history books should have a dress code?

It means "eh" with an "m".

It's a word which indicates apathy.

In Loco Parentis, do what they say since keeping the peace is part of their job.

Don't those in the military that stand up and fight for us wear boots/helmets and carry guns?

i understand that, i just don't understand how it was used in that context. you like dress codes because it prevents these problems, but the kid is in trouble because he was in violation of the dress code.
so which part are you apathetic towards?

If it's what they wear why is wearing a shirt with that on it a bad thing? If you supported your local fire department, wouldn't you wear a shirt with a maltese cross on it?

Should school rules apply to all students?
Do only liberals make school rules?
Do only liberals serve on school boards?

I'm apathetic about him getting in trouble for violating the dress code. There's a dress code, you adhere to it.

If you don't like it, go to a different school.

Suppose a kid was suspended for wearing a shirt that said "abortion is a sacrament" . You libs would be howling about free speech.

I don't know how you got the impression I'm a lib. Scouts' honor, I'm not.

Your real world is an internet forum?

No, my real world is He who holds the gold makes the rules. And In Loco Parentis, which all schoolchildren are subject to. Obey or find yourself sitting at home, which is entirely appropriate.

nice statist

Why should this kid be above the rules?

Did I say he should?
This is just selective outrage and you know it.

Yes. It seems like selective outrage from those complaining about the punishment.

Punishment for wearing a shirt with a design on it? What EXACTLY was disrespectful, disorderly or threatening about the logo?
