If you think a shirt with a rainbow fish is the worst thing going on in schools then please, invite me into your little fantasy world. I can tell you many things that I have seen and done in HS and its all alot worse than a damn shirt. I've seen guns in school, I've seen knives in school along with just about every drug imagineable. I'm glad we live in a world so perfect that a stupid shirt causes controversy. Did anybody hear about the soldier KIA that was honored in Griffin recently? Nope, not a big enough story.
The other stuff going on in schools doesn't make these kinds of distractions alright or any less significant.
I could make the observation that many of you who think this was OK either don't have children or don't have children that age yet. We all have different perspectives, but what it boils down to is the standards we set in schools and the environments we allow. And whether it's distracting/predicative clothing or guns, it isn't the kind of educational environment we owe our children.
I owe my child an educational enviornment where her unique individuality and
creative expression are encouraged, not repressed in the name of conformity.
