I agree, Qzjul. It isn't like this end of the world thing is as real as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny! I AM a bit skeptical about the whole Tooth Fairy thing though..
Madjsp...You completely agree with free speech yet if someone sports a Mexican flag on their vehicle you want to hit it and send those ppl back to Mexico?
Am I the only one that sees those two statements as hypocritical..?
I'm torn on this issue. If there's no dress code prohibiting students from wearing shirts with a decent/acceptable design on it...then the school administrators were in the wrong for telling these kids that they couldn't wear them.
On the other hand...These students used poor judgment in wearing these shirts on this particular holiday...They were making a statement basically saying, "F*** Mexico"...Intolerance was shown on both sides.
I live in south Texas and the schools in our district do enforce a dress code NOT allowing students to wear any shirt with a design on it...They must be solid colored shirts only. After this incident...I tend to agree with the policy. School is a place for learning academics..not to make a fashion/political/racial/etc statement.
