and also keep in mind, contextually, the schools have been pushing a “multicultural’ curriculum for decades which might tip the scales in the favor of the 5s in terms of reasonable expectations of being free from tshirt provocation.[/quote]
Scaredycat,
Would you support my right to a reasonable expectation of being free from provocation from those who would place openly display their national heritage while I was in a captive position as a public school student?
This is another “if by whiskey argument”. If by multicultural you mean a minority status it is acceptable. If you mean celebrating the majority American values that is regarded as antagonistic to the minority. Again your argument is completely out of whack from reality.
[quote=scaredycat]i could be wrong about all this, but it’s my gut reaction. it’s a complex situation, beyond any one simple recitation the facts. it might be simpler if this were gay pride day for instance and a bunch of kids were wearing KILL THE FAGS. obviosuly the US flag is different from that sign, but what if the shirt is worn with the same intent.[/quote]
When making a specific reference to engaging in violence that is a complete different circumstance than the situation in question. This is an “if by whiskey argument”. If by antagonizing you mean making a death threat. You have to be joking.
