Students Suspended For Wearing Bible Verses
Another 75 California students have been suspended for wearing t-shirts expressing their biblically based objection to the promotion of homosexuality. The shirts were worn in response to the annual "Day of Silence," which promotes homosexuality in public schools. Naturally the school has no problem with shirts that say, "I'm gay."
San Juan Unified School District Superintendent Steven Enoch has decreed that just because something is believed by Christians to represent the word of God doesn't mean it can't be banned if it runs contrary to the radical gay agenda. Eunuch resorted to the usual PC smokescreen to justify his autocratic behavior, gabbling nonsensically about the phony "atmosphere of fear" that makes homosexuals a special class to be protected from hearing or seeing anything they don't like, as if it were gays and not Christians who are systematically repressed.
On a tip from Wiggins.

Ironically, the Air Pelosi Congress is pushing a 'Hate Crimes' Bill that would enshrine this kind of discrimination under the color of Federal Law.

I find it disturbing that only 75 students had the gonadal fortitude to wear these verses. Where can I get these shirts?

Not all schools are that nutty. See here.

Walk into school with "Jesus Loves You" (hardly an offensive statement, eh?) on your t-shirt, and you're right out the door with a note to your parents about what a hate-filled criminal you are.
Walk in with "Allah is the One God, and Mohammad is His Prophet -- Death to Infidels!" on your shirt, and the obsequious dolts who run your school will bend over backwards (actually, forwards [nod to Debbie Schlussel]) to ensure that you're "protected" from anyone who might have a contrary opinion. In other words, they get sent home with the note, while you get to stay and play, t-shirt and all.
There's really no need for another attack on this country -- all they have to do is wait and we'll hand it over to them, lock, stock and barrel. It'll just happen quicker if Libs are in charge.

As it happens, I live in SJUSD and I passed one of the high schools in question yesterday. It appears the suspended students are putting their "time off" to good use - standing outside on the sidewalk with picket signs protesting the school's discriminatory attitude toward Christians AND displaying the very Bible verses that got them suspended in the first place. Only then, they were displaying them silently, in two-inch type, in the classroom, before a limited audience. Now they're standing on a major street, waving and calling happily to passing motorists, with signs displaying the "offensive" text in twelve-to-fifteen-inch lettering, before the world. Heh. Score one for the students.
As an aside, these all look like very nice, polite, friendly kids. They're clean, happy and respectful even in protest. And for the record - there may have been more than 75 of them out there, so although they may not have all worn the t-shirts initially, there seems to be good support for the position now that it's taken a public turn.

this is where our family gets our tees - my kids wear all sorts of them to school - our son's favorite, "friends don't let friend's go to a dead church" and our daughter's, "princess, my dad is the king of kings". no one has ever said a word to them and i've told them if they do, remove your shirt right then and there and turn it inside out!
