This really disturbs me………….I understand having policies in school and this school has a dresscode policy that says that students cannot wear t-shirts with writing on them.  The obvious reason for this is because students wear shirts advertising inappropriate logos and sayings, such as for Beer Companies.  That makes sense to me.  However, I think the school should have made an exception in this case.  Some students wanted to express their patriotism on 9/11 and wore shirts reflecting that.  I know they broke the rules…..but it seems a little over the top for them to be suspended for demonstrating patriotism.  I think the administration made too big of a deal over this……..now ACLU is involved. Don’t we have bigger things to worry about in school?  Like kids bullying each other?  Just my thoughts………
