Lacrosse Team Told to Remove ‘Pray for Peace’ Shirts; Too Religious & Political, Says School Board (racism, speech)

I would venture a guess that if the entire team defined the letter the school board would have no problem barring the entire team from competing.

I'm sure the parents are looking into this.

As well as any teachers that have flags in their classrooms.

Only in a leftist Twilight Zone are the words "pray" and "peace" disallowed, yet it's considered perfectly normal for a teacher to cast seeds of doubt into the minds of your young ones that they are actually the sex that is defined by what is between their legs.

They probable don't say the Pledge of Allegiance any more either, "One nation under GOD".

"The Maryland General Assembly mandates that each county Board of Education and Baltimore City Public Schools requires all students and teachers to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Specifically, they must "stand and face the flag and while standing give an approved salute and recite in unison the pledge of allegiance," according to the Code of Public General Laws of Maryland."

Just sounds like MORE dem hypocrisy, to me.

Wrong county, this is in Southern Appalachian Virginia, near Roanoke.

Ha. I like it.


"_ _ _ _ FOR _ _ _ _ _"

I can understand that a public school can not make public references to religion…

But the word Peace? That’s completely ridiculous.

Last week, our high school sent a girl home for wearing a T shirt that said "God's Country". Last year for wearing flag shirts.

It's almost like they are training kids not to have opinions ....

Kids can have all of the opinions they want. They just have to be ones that fit the approved agenda.

As long as they're applying the dress code evenly and not allowing other political or religious messaging I'm ok with this.

If they let BLM etc. get away with it previously then I'd be making an appearance at the school board.

School is between a rock and a hard place on this as they could be sued at least over the "pray" part.

It's silly but it's the rules.
