Student in school suspension for T-shirt that has God, Guns and scripture on it.
Refuses to remove it!!!!
Spring Hill ISD has stirred up some controversy lately with teachers using Common Core handouts and now we have Spring Hill Middle School’s Principal Kathy Parker sending home a young man due to the wording on his shirt. Who would have thought Scripture, God and the word Guns would be so offensive.
Here is the shirt that the principal found so offensive. Do these people actually live in such a bubble that the word Guns is offensive. It has the scripture of Romans 13:12 on the back “LET US CAST OFF THE WORKS OF DARKNESS AND LET US PUT ON THE ARMORY OF THE LIGHT“.
One the left sleeve are the words GOD & GUNS, 5 inches high.
The father of the young man is Andy Davidson who owns the business Makers Militia and designs and sells T-Shirts. I loved the shirt personally and will purchasing some for Christmas gifts. You can find them here…
BELOW IS THE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE PRINCIPAL AND THE PARENT ANDY DAVIDSON.
Principle: “Your son is wearing offensive apparel today. I believe it reads God – Guns – Country, and we need to address this situation, by him either changing his clothes, or turning the shirt inside-out.
Me: “offensive to whom? I’m not aware of any mandatory uniform code here at spring hill.”
Principle: “offensive to me, and I’m sure many others, both here at school & in public”.
Me: “Yours, and the emotional reaction to the ink on my sons shirt does not legally, nor morally constitute the infringement or shunning of my sons 1st amendment rights, or silence of his / our beliefs.”
Principle: “I’m not going to argue with you sir, you need to handle this matter maturely. We live in a democracy”. (YIKES! WE LIVE IN A REPUBLIC. this is an educator)
Me: “we do not live in a democracy. America is a republic, and was founded as such. This is my taking action. The action of upholding my sons rights in this situation, fall back on you and I. I’m doing my part ma’am, you do yours.”
Principle: “again, I’m not going to argue with you sir”
Me: “I know, you apparently lack the capacity & logic to do so, respectfully, ma’am.”
Principle: “so you aren’t going to make him change his offensive clothing?”
Me: “No, I am not going to make him take off his clothing that is designed in support of our creator, and the constitution of the United States of America.”
Principle: “then he’ll spend the day in ISS (in school suspension) and tomorrow, he’ll be suspended from Spring Hill Schools, and if this behavior continues, indefinitely”.
Me: “Very well, you should expect to hear from my attorney soon, and you should also contact your superiors to see if they also agree with your suppression and ignoring of the rights of your students and their tax paying parents. And by the way, you should be aware that shirts do not dictate nor have a behavior of their own, neither do guns. Good day ma’am.”
HAVE OUR LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECOME THE NEW GESTAPO?
