It's easy, and only takes a few moments.After student sent home from Louisiana high school for wearing a Colts jersey, his parents call the ACLU -- proving that like their team, Indy fans are really only good at working the officials
The polls indicate the school was being ridiculous, did they even read the story??? The school actually has uniforms and they made an exception for black and gold that day. It's not just some regular public school where everybody can wear whatever they want. So really the kid was breaking the rules, if I read that correctly. Plus he was foretold that he would get in trouble for wearing blue.
You can't be serious.
This is what the principal said: "If you like Indiana so much, why don't you go back?''
Now I know they only spend 1/3rd per child in the La. school system that they pay up north, but seriously, shouldn't a $40k principal's job yield better quality than that?
should of let him stay in school so he could get his butt kicked instead
First of all, the kid said he "thinks" the principal said something like that. Second, I'm not defending that quote if it is true, but the kid should have been punished, period. He broke a rule.
You're serious? I think of you as a thoughtful Poster...but, you really mean that?
Good, they had a Black and Gold Day, not a regular dress down day so the idiot should have been sent home. You dont want to wear Black and Gold then wear your uniform. If you reall want to support the Colts, wear a hat, at least you can take it off.
Do I think he should have been punished? Yes, unless I'm reading the article wrong. The school has a uniform policy and loosened it for a 'black and gold' day. The kid wore blue, that's against policy. A few days before this happened, a teacher warned him he would get in trouble for wearing blue, and the kid was still defiant.
It's not comparable to the situation you brought up with your son, who has a casual Friday where having the Brady jersey is all within the rules.
See my post above (#12 in this thread). It's a little tongue in cheek, but I stand by the principle on the principal.
Great way to win new friends, boy. (Actually sounds like a special-needs child with such poor judgment.) And his parents also prove their allegiance to Polian's Ponies by whining to a higher authority. Classic stuff.
I definitely see where you're coming from as far as taking a stand. But at the same time, you do the crime you pay the time, he knew there will be consequences for what he did.
