Abortion IS NOT Healthcare

A month ago when Obama addressed Americas kids through a live broadcast aired to many of their classrooms, one student in PA wore a T-Shirt that bore the phrase “Abortion IS NOT Healthcare”.

He was sent to the principles by his 5th period teacher. The reason? His t-shirt might offend other students. The school has a policy that prohibits students from wearing clothing that “creates a hostile educational environment or evidences discriminatory bias or animus”, including the display of “inappropriate words”. Nevermind LGBT Pride t-shirts, which might also offend some students. There’s a whole month dedicated to that. If you’re not on board with that then you risk being labeled offensive. But if you wear a t-shirt advocating the rights for the most innocent and helpless of human lives? You’re sent to the principles office and asked to turn your shirt inside out.

The students father is now suing the school district over the incident. Commendably, the ACLU has taken the side of the student, stating “If the district does not have a dress code that prohibits wearing T-shirts, then it has to permit this one.” Based on prior ACLU actions and political bias, this comes as a surprise to say the least. Perhaps they didn’t want to set a precedent that they would later regret. Either that or they’re starting to come around on social issues. Whatever the case may be, they should be commended for their support for the students 1st amendment rights.
