| #11 Religion, politics or sex don't belong in school or the work place. Make school uniforms the required attire. |

| #9 That does change things, Cornsilk Blondie. If there aren't consequences for stupid choices when people are young, they end up having sex on railroad tracks and other Darwinian adventures later. |

| #8 The story says the kid was given the option of changing the shirt, turning it inside out, or getting suspended. Looks like he was (most likely with Daddy's encouragement) trying for option number 3 as a kind of political statement/attention seeking activity. |

| #7 I have to wonder how strongly the kid feels about the Presidential campaign compared to his parents. I mean did the kid really choose to wear this or are the parents using the kid to create an attention getting first Ammendment battleground. Having said that the school administrators are fools and unfit to be anywhere near children. |

| #6 I got through on the first ring. I left a message for the secretary. I firmly believe we should ALL call the school and let them know that their job is to EDUCATE, not INDOCTRINATE. The school's main number is 303-693-1995, the fax is 303-326-1208. Be polite, but direct. She'll take a message.03 |

| #4 Most of the time when elementary school students wear something inappropriate, they're required to change it for something out of the spare clothing bin the nurse keeps for bathroom and school lunch accidents. Suspension seems a bit harsh, under the circumstances. |

| #3 Hmmmm, almost 80% of those viewing the article say the school should not have punished the kid. And the place for comments (shoutbox) is full and can take no more traffic...... Maybe we should Google the school and see if the phone lines or email work? Nah, why bother it's just children's minds being programmed.....just saying. |

| #2 Ok lets see.... I wonder if there were any anti-Bush t-shirts worn at the school and if they were subject to censorship. And its not ok to wear an anti-zero T-shirt but its perfectly ok (and in fact encouraged) to murder an unborn fetus.... |
