5th Grader Suspended For Anti-Obama Shirt...

Hat tip to Israel Matzav

When an 11 year-old Dax Dalton of Aurora, Colorado wore a t-shirt to schools stating:

Obama, a terrorist's best friend

He didn't expect to be suspended for it. But that is exactly what happened.

There are many things you cannot wear to school these days, but political buttons and shirts are usually allowed. They are ways to teach politics and political ideas in the classroom. They are symbols of Free Speech. And in this case, it was a form of protest.

An enterprising individual could make a small fortune making these T-Shirts. I for one would buy and wear one myself.

Wow, talk about hypocrisy... A kid tells the truth and gets penalized.. Education in America, the worst casualty...
