If schools weren't inundated with fear from parents who threaten to sue them when a teacher forces a student to sit in class with gum on their nose, because said student was chewing gum and knew he/she shouldn't have been. Teachers and school officials have been hamstringed so much as far as discipline goes, that their only recourse is to actually involve the police.
When I went to school, teachers thought nothing of picking students up and flinging them into walls to instill dicipline. I remember when I was in 6th grade I got flung around by my science teacher for forgetting to sign my name on a test that I scored an "A" on.
I've always wanted to find him for a little stroll down memory lane.

Food fights are stupid anyway.
We have nothing of the sort here, where everyone packs their own lunch or buys sandwiches and the like from the canteen. None of this 'tray-meal' nonsense for us!
|
People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

This has Jimi's seal of approval. Also, at my high school someone wore an Arch Enemy shirt to school. Some of you may know it. It has "PURE fething METAL" written on the back. He got a telling off and a threat of suspension. None of this suspended for a week crap...

When I grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could. For instance, they would pour their derision upon anything we did, exposing any weakness, however carefully hidden by the kids.

I once wore a shirt wearing stating my view on gay marriage. And since I’m in the middle of Cali I got in trouble. They let gay advocates make their own club, but I can’t state my views. Oh and here is another kicker. We have a black student union, Latinos unidos and Asian pacific islander club but when me and my friend tried to start a "European descendant club" who would do charity and community work. But they would not let that happen cause they said it is a "White supremacist group". Don’t yah love America.

Why does there have to be more to Garrets story? Here in Mn stores can sell tshirts and hoodies with the words "native pride" on them but if any of them sold tshirts that said "white pride" or "Caucasian pride" they would be labeled white supremacists. If I wore a tshirt to a job that said "white pride" i'd be asked to take it off.
True facts. None of the print shops/screening shops in my town will print shirts saying "White pride" but they obviously make tshirts saying "Native Pride".

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's because there's not a Native American equivalent to the KKK that shouts "Native Pride!".
Automatically Appended Next Post:
And as to the statement Wrex made:
I'm going to assume he was meaning there must have been SOMETHING offensive on the shirt. We don't know what it says, because Garret neglected to inform us.

White power is the KKK slogan and anyone with any grammatical sense and reading comprehension will realize "white pride" =/= "white power".
I could go deeper and wear a shirt that says "German pride". That wouldn't fly either because in the world of such narrow mindedness and political correctness the slogan "German pride" would somehow be equated with white supremacy and Nazism.
Double standards are still double standards. Maybe Garrets shirt was offensive from a hate perspective or maybe it said something like "Gay marriage is a sin". Just that alone would get you reprimanded at work or at school.

See, but the issue is that the ANP and KKK both also use the term "white pride" in the same context as "white power".
And as for "German pride"...well, of course it would be equated with white supremacy and Nazism. Blame the ANP and the skinheads for that.
And yeah, double standards are double standards. But in this world of political correctness, Europeans and their ancestors are having to pay for the sins of their forebears.
And the "gay marriage is a sin" thing, I'd say, would get in trouble just for being a bit too controversial. The high school I went to banned kids from wearing t-shirts that had Osama's head in crosshairs on the front, and the back saying "It's Payback Time" just for that reason.
