5th Grader Suspended For Anti-Obama Shirt — Page 2

Not to be impolite or anything, ROMANTICO, but why is an intelligent person like you watching MYFuXNews???? Figures those douchebags at FUX would pick up a story that images the words "Obama" and "Terrorist" (in the same frame)! Their fave type of story, I guess!

Don't ya just love those caring parents who pimp out their children in school and in the media as propaganda! This kid is the next "Columbine" type shooter... I guess this IS the end of America as we know it...ha! The dumbing down to moron status.

pansies?

SERIOUSLY?

"Don't ya just love those caring parents who pimp out their children in school and in the media as propaganda!"

Reminds me of those parents who gave their children glasses of water to try to deliver them to Terri Schiavo, because she was thirsty.

You have freedom of speech - and they have the freedom to throw your ass out for breaking the rules.

You can't run down the halls yelling F*CK! F*CK! F*CK! You can't wear a t-shirt that says, "death to faggots". You can't print naked photos in the school newspaper. You don't own the school. You don't run the school.

I know my high school had a rule against clothing that the administration deemed "disruptive."

But I think the best solution would be to let the kid wear his shirt, and to then hand out T-shirts that say "Daxx Dalton's Dad Is a Douche" to anyone who wants one.

Schools definitely have a right to set a dress code. All businesses do, too. They have a right to refuse service to anyone, as well.

Why is that so hard to figure out? Didn't you people ever go to school, once upon a time?

The father clearly was looking for publicity. If his son was ignored and was allowed to wear the shirt another stunt would have been orchestrated. This father's venom towards liberals in my opinion is terrifying. Can you imagine the school board sitting down with this man trying to discuss the matter? The man is exploiting his child and is desperate for some attention. He will probably be offered a job as a commentator for Fox after all of this.The man is looking for his 15 minutes and he is using his son to do it. I would hope when his son gets older he see's the abuse his father put him through for his own personal gain and ends up hating the hick.

I'm sorry Romantico, but your posts sound to me as unreasonable as you think that shirt is if not more.

Welcome to politics, son. Part of living in this great country is having to accept that you have to share it with angry morons. Another part is realizing that some people will mock Alan Colmes. Personally, I think a lot more should, but that's besides the point.

I assume you're a young man and your blood pressure can take all this outrage, but still, it can't be doing you any good. Of course the father is the instigator. So what? Instigators lose if they can't get you all worked up.

Your wrong.If it was against McCain I would still be against it.Perhaps not as much, but I see to many accusing Obama of being Islamic or a 'friend of terrorists'.The article said there was another anti Obama shirt, but the school did not find that to offensive.There is no double standard for me here,although seeing the father come on to Fox did not help. Would he have been brave enough to go on Keith Olberman or Rachel Maddow's show? I find the Obama links to terrorism a cheap trick and more or less the only thing the RW can come up with.

Joe, I am not as worked up as I was when I first posted this but you are right, this sort of thing anger me and scares me at the same time. Alan Comes is not my favorite liberal but I thought he was very patient with the guy. This is not new. There have been kids kicked out of school for wearing gay pride shirts and other political shirts and I have mixed feelings about them. There was a Bush shirt regarding terrorist that I felt was in bad taste. As much as I despise Bush, I found the shirt distasteful.

Time will tell how this case is viewed and maybe it won't even make the news.I just felt the shirt was racist and disgusting.

Not for nothing, romantico, but lots of conservatives feel that Obama is too lenient in his stance on terrorists. You think that shirt is disgusting, but it's symbolic of one of the biggest issues in this election. Why is it racist, because Obama is black? Do you think the conservatives would like a white man who held the same views as Obama towards terrorism?

---

Oh we agree that the father has influenced his son. I'm not shocked at that. I'm sure that happens in all kinds of households.
