10 and 15 year old sent home from school for wearing a shirt that said the wrong things

[Deadarm]

And here I thought the white people were trying to prove that they aren't racists. This just sent us back 10 years.

 

[Lord Thodin]

Hahah silly retards

 

[ffxfriek]

*sigh*

THIS just plain ol this

 

[Fragged_Templar]

This ladies and gentlemen, is why we should start to demand that anyone wanting to become a parent should get a parenting license. (kinda like a driving license, except here if you fuck up you lose your license and you balls/ovaries)

 

[Reactor-R]

Well thats what she gets for being too religus.

 

[dark-amon]

This is a clear example on two things of great importance. 1)Parents abuse their role as an educator when giving them a narrow way of thinking, weakening their childrens freedom of choice.
2) the conflict between human rights. In this case the conflict between the right of free speech, and the right of free and respected religion. I put the respect part in because if the people outside that religion does not respect it, it cannot be called a free religion.

 

[Jirlond]

1. All religion is a feeble attempt to explain the unexplained to comfort the sheeple who can't face their own mortality.
2. All religions preach tolerance but none of them practice it.
3. My school has a dress code (Collared shirt, tucked in) I WISH I could wear a normal rascist shirt.

Well, that's a massive generalisation... (I'm not religious by the way...)

I am offended by all the people in this thread saying "anti-islam idiots"

I am anti-islam, and i am certainly no idiot. There are many things that are offensive to me and my culture in the way that modern day islam is carried out. Unfortunately, my views are taboo and wrong because people always point to a tiny minority of muslims and say that this is how the religion and culture actually works, when really, their example has been so westernized that any shred of fucked-up islam in them is gone.

Nuke the middle-east

OK, FUCK YOU. Here's the deal, unless you're Pakistani, the way things are carried out in Islam is totally irrelevant to you. There are many good and kind Muslims, I know many of them. PLEASE LEAVE, WE WILL HATE YOU HERE.

...gah, bloody emotions... sorry, I couldn't be bothered to hold up the usual Escapist visage there, I was just to bloody angry. Mods, a nice healthy whack of the banhammer on this ignorant fellow would be nice

Personally, I think that all the wars between Christians, Jews and Muslims is depressingly ironic, seeing as they all worship the same bloody book.

~EDIT~

Oh jeez, after re-reading my rant, I realise how Australian I really am... I'm such a bogan

Yeah I know lots of muslims too - all of them excellent and incredibly kind people.

There are extremists yes, but there are extremists in every religion - stop taking what the media show you as a basis to judge and entire religion. Fuckin sheep.

 

[Aunel]

and some of them wonder why people hate America, they breed people like this.

 

[thenoblitt]

damn a 10 year old wearing a shirt like that, beats the hell out of my shirt that says shat happens

 

[ChocoFace]

that's nothing. In my school someone was told to change his shirt because it had a smiling emoticon saying "I Hate You".

We laughed when he turned up in a suit the next day

 

[Wargamer]

Once again, I taste the bitter bullshit of Muslimism.

I have seen a LOT of shirts that take the piss out of Christianity, or say very unpleasant things about Jesus... yet the moment someone wears an item of clothing that speaks ill of the MUSLIMS there's a fucking big deal about it.

I suppose it's easy to understand why though - it's not like the Pope's going to order a priest to fly a jumbo jet into a major landmark because your baseball cap says "Jesus Smokes Pot"

 

[Blood_Lined]

It sounds naive, not some "brainwashing" technique. If what the children said was what is listed here, then I do not doubt that to be their words, it just sounds to myself exactly what a 10 & 15 year old would say.

 

[Epitome]

..........., any parent who would use their child in this manner should be punched in the face. That said i also dont agree with sending them home, but I hate dress codes and all that other bs you have to put up with in school. What your too young for freedom of speech? If i want to wear a shirt that says "nuke the whales" I should be able to. My opinion does not hav eto be informed for me to be allowed express it.

Also, very well spoken Wargamer.

 

[Zefar]

Islam is of the devil? :/ Sounds accurate. So why would I say that?

Well

1: They go berserk at the slightest bit of flaming. As in Mohammad pictures. Got a few people killed because they couldn't be peaceful. There was also this book going to be released and boy where they mad about it because it told how bad women had in Islam.
2: Their rules for women and thieves in their country are barbaric.
3: Anyone disgracing them needs to respect them, get their hands cut off or their head.
4: Don't really show any signs of getting BETTER.

So yea, sorry but Islam is like a religion from the Devil. Christianity now only kills abortion doctors at most.
Jews generally do nothing bad at all. Unless Israel is Jewish but it's ruled by fanatics.

Now I know there are good Muslims out there but vast amount of them are not. This is instantly shown when you insult them.

As for people saying "I know a lot of good ones" Well good for you but do they surpass the 500 000 mark? There are like 2 billion Muslims I think.

So far Islam is the biggest threat to the world because they want to make the world to Muslim. They actually get their laws into our countries too. This is a bad thing people. We have NOTHING to gain from them other than losing more rights than we have.

 

[Galletea]

Free speech doesn't exist. It's free speech up to a point and then it's "inciting hatred" or something. This t shirt was unnecessary and hateful, and the school was right to send him home.

 

[Agema]

In a country with an secularised state, it seems to me obviously inappropriate for schoolchildren in state schools to wear clothing clearly endorsing or criticising any religions or atheism. Small personal articles of faith such as a religious symbol on jewellery is fine, but that's all.

It's in the nature of many parents to corral their children into similar beliefs. Hell, that's pretty much what being a parent is, bringing up a child with the values you believe are right. Independent thought is something that mostly develops during adolescence, so I don't think your average 10-15 year old has a lot of things to say about issues of politics and religion that don't come from their parents. However, parents using their kids to do their arguing and score their political points is contemptible.
