I work with a women that had her daughter sent home because of a shirt. It stated something about Jesus will return so she had to leave campus. I think this is CRAP. If a person wore a Budah shirt I would not be offended in the least, I would support them. What the hell is goin on?

I am suprised that you can't wear something like that. I thought that fell under personal expression of religious beliefs which was protected even in schools (kind of like student-led prayer or something like that). Weird.

Does the school's dress code explicitly prohibit it? And if so, has that dress code been challenged?

Getting turned away from a public school is probably one of the best things that could ever happen to that kid.

Not to be playing Devil's advocate (no pun intended), but I think the way to alleviate this problem is have kids wear uniforms and leave the T-shirts and jeans for the malls.

I wouldn't have said that 10 years ago, but the way the PC police are clamping down on free speech, I've become a supporter of school uniforms.

Easy fix to this...send your kids to private schools that actually encourages your values. They can wear uniforms, pray if the school wants it, and they will not be taught by licensed agents of the state.

If that was the case at my high school, about 50% of the student body would get sent home with all the FCA propaganda floating around.

I think what happened was (and this is how it was when I was in High School) that the school didn't want any ANTI-religious stuff in...no anti-christ, stuff like that. Well, to get rid of that, they have to get rid of it all...bad situation. The schools can't respect a certain religion and promote it...by banning athiest/anti-christ/other stuff, then they basically are supporting christianity (not many buddists in East TN). I think they're just trying to protect themselves from any lawsuits.
