Oregon School Suspends 8th Grader Alan Holmes Over Battlefield Cross T-shirt Supporting Our Troops
OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM IS STUCK ON STUPID …
The Dexter McCarty Middle School in Gresha, Oregon has suspended an 8th grader, Alan Holme, for wearing a Battlecross t-shirt to school that supported out United States military. REALLY? The school gave the boy the choice between changing his shirt or going home. This wise and proud young American chose to go home. Alan Holmes stated, “I’m not changing into a Dexter shirt. They won’t let me wear a shirt that supports the people that keep us free, I’m not going to support them.” The loser from the school district responded with, “we have a policy on student dress and grooming. Weapons on a shirt are not appropriate in a school setting.” Really, patriotism and what allows a school to freely teach has nothing to do with our US Military?
Hmm, so the school can’t differentiate between supporting our trooper and the depiction of a gun promoting violence? Just curious, does the school system differentiate between good touch and bad touch? How about Muslims and radical Islam? Yeah, I thought so. This is just another case where the student has more common sense than adults. This is just more liberal, weeny indoctrination in our schools.

An Oregon middle school cracked down last week on a student who showed up in a battlefield cross T-shirt that said, “Standing for those who stood for us.”
Eighth-grader Alan Holmes’ T-shirt imagery of a rifle, helmet and boots denoting loss may have symbolized patriotism to him, but not to administrators at Dexter McCarty Middle School in Gresham who demanded the boy change his shirt and then suspended him when he refused.
“I’m not changing into a Dexter shirt,” the 13-year-old told Fox 12. “They won’t let me wear a shirt that supports the people that keep us free, I’m not going to support them.”
The showdown with the principal over Alan’s T-shirt took place Wednesday while emotions were still roiling in the state over the mass shooting at Umqua Community College that left a teacher and eight students dead.

When there are people, teachers and administrators, who cannot use common sense in dealing with a child over an issue, this is what happens.
In the school business, at the primary and middle school level, only a very few are able to understand and deal properly with problems that children create. The majority just follow the rules as they understand them, rather than using the facts of a situation to make a reasonable conclusion.
In others words “some are just to ignorant to do a good and proper job”. Those are the ones who need to be removed. Unions and the EEOC rules and laws are responsible for most of the problems associated with building a quality staff.
this was purely discrimination by this school run by a weakling principal.
