Genoa-Kingston is right down the road from DeKalb. Doesn't seem like the area where something like this would happen, but there it is........

Lib teachers and admins are everywhere..

We once had a school admin who's solution to one kid getting teased about have two same sex parents was to implement a systemic anti-bullying campaign so that all kids in the K-8 school. could be immersed (as in drowned) in PC garbage.

When parents objected and asked to to be told if their kids were involved in the teasing, you know so we as parent can address it at home, she quit and ran back to Illinois. She would not tell us and could not understand why involved parents wanted to deal with complex issues rather than some curriculum that the school would pay 10s of thousands for.

The dad did go about this the wrong way..

Quote:According to a local newspaper, school officials (beyond the teacher) had not been aware of the kerfuffle until Fox News — which had the story first — notified administrators late Monday.

You have to go to the admin first, give them a chance to deal with it before crying to the media.

Does this have more to do with the guns on the shirt or the word Marines?

Teacher's are forgetting why they're there. They need to stop with the indoctrinating or injecting their liberal biases into everything and get on with the teaching.

Kid should tell his teacher that his U.S. Marines shirt is a religious symbol and has great religious significance. In fact it's holy (probably got a hole in it somewhere.) If it said Al-Qaida some kid would claim that. My son is a Marine.

I live close to Genoa. In my opinion, the teacher misunderstood the rules and nothing more. She made a mistake.

RE: Teacher threatens to suspend kid for US Marines tshirt
This is the epitome of people failing to be smart. The teacher was right in taking notice of a shirt that may be in violation. Unfortunately, she screwed up since it was a gray area. The decision was made at the wrong level. She failed to get a second opinion, and like the super stated, should have been made by her superior.

The father failed because he decided for some reason to not deal with this at the lowest level possible. This was not some egregious attempt to suppress first amendment rights. This was a small screw up in a policy that was in place. He should have talked to the principal, received an apology for the lack of adequate training in the SOP, then the principal should rectifiy the situation with the teacher and provided the appropriate corrective training for all teachers, and everybody moves on.

And people wonder why America can't get **** done. We get so bogged down in the stupid.

Political correctness, entitlements, and community organizers got in the way.
