Well, I like the way this kid thinks. He was prepared to have to remove his shirt, by thoughtfully wearing a second t-shirt under the offending S&W one. Zing! Note it's only been teachers and admins who get their knickers in a twist over this.
And aren't we taxpayers affording the schools their operating budget? How is this an agreeable use of my money?

    Hammer is a weapon and so is a sickle. Yet, I suspect if he wore a red shirt sporting a hammer and sickle, it would be welcomed as an expression of free speech. I'm equally sure a "Che" or "Mao" shirt would be warmly received.

    not yet, but with some upcoming technology, in a few years he should be able to sport a 'programmable t-shirt' with organic LEDs all over it and a small computer driving it.

    And probably 'an app for that,' too! Dial up your smartphone and send a picture to your shirt.

    Moron teacher objects? Download a different image, smile sweetly and say, "Who, me?" and point to your 'new' shirt.

    The future will be even more of a challenge for those bureaucrat/teacher idiots!

    Of course because we have to be "sensitive". I've had some wine. I don't mean to be inflammatory. Pah!! I really don't care whom I offend. ;-)

    It's funny they close their perverted eyes when some boy thinks he should be able to share the little girls restroom with the opposite gender, but they have their x-ray eyes burning holes in a child that wares a tee-shirt of a manufacturer that provides jobs no matter what the product is. Smith and Wesson has paid more in taxes than the whole Administration of that school. Good grief get a life administrators or quit. Go to Chicago and become a community organizer.

    An excellent point. The sort of "authorities" who glorify in this sort of activity (as well as grandstanding about it), tend to pick on those who will "go quietly". By no means is this limited to school personnel. Those who appear as if they "might be trouble" generally escape official notice unless and until they do something extreme

    Too bad he didn't have a similar transfer on the inside of his tee shirt... Maybe a Glock logo... Turn it inside out? Sure thing... Then some body art just in case they force to go shirtless...

    By most appearances of a lot of people coming from the public education system, they already are...

    If the second amendment is the first allowed to be overturned, the first will be second, and the third, fourth and fifth not far behind... of course the 6th and 8th no longer exists, at least on extraterritorial military posts... and the ninth, well, our congresscritters decided they know better than we the people, so it's silently ignored...

    But some feel it's all good, as it forwards the cause of Security and Social Justice for the oppressed and disadvantaged, over those who have more than those who do not. After all, who are these better-off to have more than those who... urp... are kept back from... blrbl.. their fair share by the oppressor... pardon me, I must excuse myself...

    (Just writing that last paragraph has caused my stomach to righteously and forcefully revolt against its contents...)

    That's right--we'll have to cut off their hands and feet. But then they'll need crutches or prostheses, and who knows what sort of damage someone could do with those.
