The problem rests with the school. They are the ones reading into it. If the adults don't read into it, then what is the problem? How is the world a worse place due to an arrangement of letters? The shirt could have no words, and if it is a certain color, people could associate it with being part of an enemy group. It's stupid. It's like saying girls who wear short skirts are asking to be raped. If you have a problem with people's clothes, the problem is you, not them.

You, sir, are an idiot. Even the mother admits the meaning of 69 is well know. The girl's twin sister was told not to wear it just a week earlier so she really can't claim she didn't know the shirt wasn't appropriate. Right now we are communicating with symbols and symbols have meaning, to ignore that is idiotic. The punishment is justified.

SO ,my Native symbol of the reversed swastika is ok then?
As long as I don't wear the teeshirt inside out.

I got sent home for wearing a shirt that said "I have a heart on for you" on Valentines Day, once. So...meh, I don't give a shiat.

In 1974, I got sent home for wearing the following shirt:

GET REALLY STONED
drink wet cement


I loved that shirt ;)

Cheeky? Yes. Sexually explicit and inappropriate? No. The school is simply being stupid.

I wonder if anyone has the number 69 on the sports teams. It's a number, folks. Are they gonna ban the number 69 in math class too? Oh noes! 69 ahhhhh 420 tisk tisk. Kids are so vulgar. Someone should put a stop to it.

Hmmm... things have changed slightly since my day. I wore one of the first No Fear shirts to school quite a few times when I was 13. It said "Will Work For Sex".

I never got suspended. Maybe that's because the principal was too busy dealing with the school riots, the massive gang fights, and graffiti.

And to think I got called out on a GNR shirt that showed a drawn boob (not even a real one) and also told I couldn't wear 'metal up your ass' anymore either, in middle school.

I continued to wear both and never got in trouble. Of course this was many years ago.

I feel sorry for kids in school right now. Bunch of prisons I swear...

In related news, my company has department #s for everything.. luggage is dept 69. Nobody ever has trouble remembering that one, for some reason.

In some ways, people are like birds. The females are more colorful to attract a mate, and the males aggressively compete with each other for female attention.

Some parts of this behavior are natural, others are learned. So it is no surprise that in adolescents you will see mistakes made.

Teen girls will overdo it trying to sell the goods, and teen boys will act like chimpanzees in violent competition with each other to establish themselves as desirable mates to the females.

But in either case, they are often like hunch-puppies, who are going through the motions of sexual behavior without really grasping the concept, or being physically and emotionally up for sexuality.

As one teacher described it: they are a mess, all nerve ends and hormones.

This means that administrators have to be polite but firm. School is for learning, not for practicing your mating dances.

Suspension. Is there anything it can't do?

Our local HS suspended a bunch of kids.

The principal claimed it fixed his erectile dysfunction, and the school roof stopped leaking to boot!

 
Nimnom 2008-05-24 01:47:57 PM  
Do you HONESTLY think that anyone is going to be offended if they already know what it means? It's not like it's going to influence anyone who doesn't know what it means.

 
sloppy shoes 2008-05-24 01:47:57 PM  
I dressed up as one of my weird teachers for Halloween sophomore year. She was known for wearing ornaments on her shoulders along with really bad makeup. The principal pulled me aside and laughed.

 
Misha80 2008-05-24 01:48:24 PM  
Went to school many times with a shirt bearing this quote-

"Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven."

It wasn't REAL big on the shirt, you had to be standing pretty close to read it...eventually the vice principal saw it and made me change.

/those kids are going to miss page 69 from all the textbooks.
//all of the books in our school library were stamped on page 69
///the summer of 69?

The real tragedy here is that, according to the mother, the girl doesn't know what 69 means. If we were in a state where the age of consent was 14 and Chris Hansen was not allowed to enter the state borders, then I might be willing to help educate the young lady (and her twin sister, of course).

I dressed up as the Unabomber for halloween in high school and made it home without talking to the administration, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

LOLzers, I got laughs from my teachers in 5th grade (1975) when I wore my:

SKI STONED
Drink Wet Cement


t-shirt.

//Skis rock, you crazy snowboarders are a menace. And stay off the place where my lawn would be if my chalet in Mammoth had a lawn.

Good analogy, but I thought the male was always the prettier and colorful of the species.

At least, it's true in my house.

In my old town? Tweed skirts, blazers, brown knee high boots or moderate pumps. Not shiatting you, they dressed like librarians doing the stroll in front of the meth motel.

/hey, I suppose once upon a time school uniforms were sexually innoculus too.

it is the Male birds that are more colourful to attract the attention of Females.

Either this is the most sheltered girl in the country, or she's lying.

Continuing the trend of TFarkers being complete idiots.

I haven't been to Gap in awhile, but weren't they founded in 1969? Last time i was there i seem to remember the jeans and shirts having slogans like "Gap since 69" on them. Seems silly to suspend someone over a number.

Although the girl is still an idiot since the sister was told the shirt was inappropriate and still wore the shirt.


/is "fun loving" the new euphemism for slut?
// sorry, 8th grade. Slut in Training?

LOL. Have the same sticker on my guitar.

But seriously, this kind of stuff used to be so low on the priority list. The only person I ever saw get talked to about dress was the big heavy metal guy being told he couldn't wear his spiked leather gloves in the building. So he just took them off and put them in his bag. That was the end of it.

Same thing with the whole PC Halloween crap. We had a guy dress up like Jesus. DId they send him home and suspend him? No, they put him in the yearbook blessing someone and gave the pic the caption "Be chill, my son"

 
RemyDuron 2008-05-24 01:59:19 PM  
Yeah, for once I'm going to side with the school. I don't really think such a shirt would scandalize anyone in high school, but it's clearly sexual and thus probably against the school's stated dress code.

For the nay-sayers; yes, this is guarded by the bill of rights, it's a public institution.

 
AnniBronte 2008-05-24 02:01:42 PM  
OK parents, help me out with this. Your daughter wants to wear something with a (open to interpretation) sexually suggestive slogan. Do you:

a) gently explain what said slogan may be interpreted as and suggest she may not want to wear said garment, or;

b) invite local news crew over to film pubescent daughter modeling said garment, identifying her by name, city and school?

AaronOnline 2008-05-24 02:02:03 PM  
The shirt has more sexual meaning than the teen gives it credit for and the mother is just plain stupid.

The shirt does not simply say "SOPHMORE 69".. some letters are made to be very light in color (i.e. harder to see) so the message is "SOP OR 69" which means, in actuallity, wipe it or lick it.

Look at the shirt in the video. I have seen them at the store and on slutty women around town and there is no way to interpret them as innocent.

I, for once, stand by the school.
