Yeah it's more like they had a few complaints and found them damning enough to pull the shirt from their shelves, this was the market.

Smart business move, a children's clothing store doesn't want controversy

as far as the shirt, I'm on the fence. If it just listed the other things and not math, it might be cute, but the fact that they listed math and then left it unchecked is disturbing. To be honest though, had I seen it in the store I'd probably just roll my eyes and not give it a second thought.

Parents who buy those shirts are either tacky or ignorant.

I'd like to offer a giant F-U to whoever designed that shirt.
