Suspended For An Anti-Obama Shirt

AURORA (MyFOXColorado.com) – An 11-year-old in Aurora says his first amendment rights are being trampled after he was suspended for wearing a homemade shirt that reads “Obama is a terrorist’s best friend.”

The fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School wore it on a day when students were asked to wear red, white and blue to show their patriotism.

The boy’s father Dann Dalton describes himself as a “proud conservative” who has taken part in some controversial anti-abortion protests. Dalton says the school made a major mistake by suspending his son for wearing the shirt.

“It’s the public school system,” Dalton says. “Let’s be honest, it’s full of liberal loons.”

This guy needs to pull the horses back a bit. The kid’s eleven years old. I have a real issue with parents who force-feed their children religion and politics at such a young age. He should be out playing with his friends, riding bikes, collecting cards and getting into trouble. Indoctrination is unhealthy for young minds and he ends up like this — in a circus at his school.

    If all public schools would implement wearing uniforms, they would be much more orderly places.

    This child will be one of the future angry adults, and dont forget that – (a) he is in school (b) some children are now taking guns to school (c) he has a very “good” and “trusted” teacher in the form of a father. No wonder our teachers have to be taking guns to school. Now I see that they will have to defend themselves from the angry students as well as the angry parents. This world is going up-stream without a paddle. There is no feeling for anyone but themselves. In the hearts of many, there is hatred for those people who are different from themselves, and there are words accompanying the hate, like – KILL, BOMB, WAR,WAR and more WAR!!!
    Let them all die! we must live alone on this planet! It belongs to us, and us alone! We must get rid of them!
    You know what? there live some that are not so easy to die.
    Remember, while you hate and kill, your own being wilt and
    die!!

    The snippet I heard on the radio today ended with “…they are considering the lawsuit against the school district”.

    If this guy was TRULY a conservative, he would not want to sue the school district because guess what that does…? Raise taxes!

    With that said, I would like to know how many kids a) wore “Bush lied, people died” or a shirt in support of closed borders/anti-illegal immigration (or some similar claptrap) tee shirts to school and b) how many were asked to take it off?
