11 y/o student suspended for wearing...
« on: September 23, 2008, 11:49:59 PM »


Daxx Dalton ,11, and his father, Dann Dalton, talk about the Aurora fifth-grader being suspended from school for wearing a homemade T-shirt that said "Obama a terrorist's best friend."

Daxx and his father, Dann, say his First Amendment rights were violated. Citing student privacy, Aurora Public Schools (Colorado) spokeswoman Paula Hans said she could not discuss specifics of the Dalton case, including confirming whether the boy had been suspended.


EDIT:  I found a news clip for this.

A center of education should be shielded of religious and political endoctrination. The teachers definitly are not allowed to spill their propaganda to young spongy minds. There's no freedom of speech in school, this tee shirt is as provocative as one that would say "I hate gays", or "Hitler for president".
Dat jugs bro.

Gotta go with the school on this one.  The kid obviously wore it to class to be disruptive.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

 :eek:  :O What a distraction! I remember  how excited all the guys were to talk politics and religion at school.  Man, I would have been too distracted to study with this guy in the room.

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!

 :rofl  The only things distracting in school are:

A: Tight shirts  :aok
B: Tight pants/ skirts  :aok
C: The goodies that fill A and B  :aok
D: Whale tails, tramp stamps, and belly rings  :aok

Don't forget, these kids now have to be wondering if their teacher is one of those Tilfs that might let them go all the way.  :pray :devil

The shirt was at least factual - William Ayers gave Osamabama his Chicago "Coming Out" party.

Keep truth out of schools at all costs.

SURELY you do not believe this to be fact.

I had to laugh when I read that too.  With one particular teacher, I have to "de-program" my kids when he comes home with liberal-like questions.  :rofl

Anyway, the kid is an idiot, the father even more of an idiot for allowing that type of behavior. You want freedom of speech? Put it on after class, otherwise you're just asking for negative attention.

Got a chuckle out of that myself.
I started thinking about the bridges, desert ships and beach front property in Az I have for sale.
If this one`s for real, I could pocket some serious scratch.

I agree with the school on this one.  Regardless of which political figure is mentioned on the shirt.

He wasn't suspended for wearing the shirt.  He was suspended for refusing to take it off or cover it.
