Dumb? Yes. But a teacher not wanting something associated with schools that is entirely associated with schools to begin with just reeks of irony. Her discipline is irrelevant; as a teacher, she knows better. Rather, she should know better (she's a teacher, after all). Hence, the nice thick slice of irony that she choked on in my hypothetical example.
If somebody wants to sell a shirt that says "LOL, 9/11!" with a picture of Obama pulling a swastika out of a raccoon's ass, I don't think anything should stand in their way.
If it were associated with schools that much this wouldn't be an issue at all. She can have whatever opinions she likes about the issue. But if she were someone that was trained in it then I could see. This isn't really irony.
I agree with everything you posted. It's different when a school is selling an item that the parents deem offensive, though. If somebody wants to sell a shirt that says "LOL, 9/11!" with a picture of Obama pulling a swastika out of a raccoon's ass, I don't think anything should stand in their way. I just don't think it's appropriate for a school to be producing.
If the parents find something a school produces offensive the school doesn't have to pull it, but if they do I don't have a problem with that decision.
I doubt that anyone would stand in their way. That is an example that no doubt the majority would find offensive and because of that would be deemed as appropriate for removal. But this is not the case with this school band shirt. It was a few people that didn't like it. Not the majority.
How do you know how many people complained, far less how many were offended?
Do you really think that a majority off all parents in the school district need to be offended by something the school is producing before officials consider pulling said item?
So what if it's offensive to some people. I'm sure that some people consider Mardi Gras to be offensive. Is that ever stopped though? I'm also pretty sure that two men having sex is offensive to some people also. Should we stop that also?
Point being is that just because some may find it offensive doesn't mean that it should be stopped. Read my second sig line.
That's kinda dangerous, don't you think? Thumpers attract worms, and having the band remove their suits leaves them at the mercy of the desert of Arrakis. They'd be dead in a matter of hours if the worms didn't get them first.
Oh wait...I think I read your post wrong!
Apples and Oranges.
I can understand why this may upset a really religious parent. So yep they have every right to be upset and call for it being pulled.
I wasn't aware that anybody was saying they did it knowing they would offend people. It did, however, and I fully support a school district pulling a shirt of theirs that parents find offensive.
What do you think of this issue. Are the parents who wanted the shirt pulled right or are them making a big deal out of nothing?
Wow....some people are horribly stupid. I can imagine who was the type to have complained against the shirt in the first place.
would you wear the "evolution" shirts?
no way in a million years just like I wont read or watch the devenche code because it is condoning it
It might do you good to read the Da Vinci Code. You might learn, at the least, to spell Leonardo Da Vinci's name.
And, it is your considered opinion that The Da Vinci Code condones EVOLUTION?
:rofl
sorry about the spelling I have never been very good at it but I know that the Da Vinci code has nothing to do with evolution I am just saying that it goes in opposition to what I believe
