Soon Colorado Rockies jerseys will be banned.

After all, the Rocky Mountains are just one giant rock - and rocks can be used as weapons.

The school in question did not have a policy against the NRA shirt.

The Logan County School District's dress code policy prohibits clothing that displays profanity, violence, discriminatory messages and more but nowhere in the document does it say anything about gun images.
If you want to claim rights, you'd better know what they are. The school district writes policy vaguely to cover their actions. Profanity, violence, and discriminatory messages are subjective terms. If a teacher questions your actions and give you an order, that did not give that young man the right to disobey an request or order. The young man was arrested for disobeying an order not for his gun shirt.

The young man's parents have ill prepared him to deal in the real world. If the young man's parents feel that the young man's rights were being violated, then they have the right to redress grievences. The Cosntitution provide a lawful process.

I guess that art really is in the eye of the beholder.

If the beholder is a liberal - you might be suspended or arrested.

The second amendment says that "a well regulated militia, neccesary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".

Only a loony lefty would think that a picture of a gun on a t-shirt constitutes an "arm".

This is a First Amendment issue.

Don't be obtuse.

Well the exact policy isn't listed in the article, but I'm sure that it doesn't specifically mention guns. They will probably try to say it falls under "displaying violence" messages.

I feel the same way. The student handled this wrong and the parents seem to be encouraging it. I wish my son would get suspended over a T-shirt. I would be 50 shades of pissed at him.

I'm sure they had a policy of no weapons, and while we'll both agree that a tshirt isnt a weapon, neither is drawing a picture of a gun on paper, which they dont allow either.
