We know that
free speech or expression for students is often left at the school house door
But in
reading the news today what is left in the field of reason is a whole lot more
A sixth
grader who goes to Orangevale School on 911 has a special T-shirt to wear
Names of the
victims in the form of Twin Towers, a memorial to what happened there
A gentle
reminder to honor the dead and a resolve that it must never happen again
A tasteful
message the kind that we Americans to the world would like to send
But not at
Orangevale School it would violate a dress code sacred to an administrator’s
heart
Except for
free days the code allows T-shirts only the school’s logo and name
The puppet
spokesman intoned 911 was not a free day making an exception would the dress
code defame
The number
of free days was not mentioned but if reason has a chance flourish in this
school
A slight
suggestion that would lessen the rightful ridicule
Why not add
911 to the list of these sacred days that allow diversity of expression
As opposed to
using this sacred code as a means of speech repression?
If not the
logo of this school should be changed to a horse’s ass
Symbolic of
a idiotic attempt to tasteful expression harass
