I Almost Got Suspended Today...

[quote name='the_rev' date='Mar 9 2004, 08:36 PM'] Today I decided to wear my marian shirt instead of my 100% catholic one. The marian shirt says on the front: Urgent Call Home and on the back it reads : Your mother hasn't heard from you in decades. (With a picture of the rosary.)

When I got to school, and during first hour I was called down to the office. The same lady said, "Well, I see your wearing your cross today."

I corrected her and said, "No, actually I'm wearing a crucifix."

So after that, she said " I have received a few complaints, from teachers about your offensive shirt."

I then replied, "Many people each day wear offensive shirts to me. Some advertise cigarettes, others demonic influences, and even one that says "Jesus Saves... and on the back, Money at Walmart." These shirts are offensive to many but some don't speak up. Well today I am. Why do you think this shirt is offensive, is it because it reflects me, and my beliefs?"

She then replied, "Yes, that is why, you know Mary is dead, and she can't hear you."

I replied, "Whatever!" *Now being sick of her and wanting to go back to class*

She said, well I suppose you carry a rosary with you.

I then replied, Your sure darn right I do! Wouldn't go anywhere without it.

She said, You know I do have the right to suspend you.

I replied, "Well, you forgot something else I'm wearing, I'm wearing a SCAPULAR. Taking it off and showing her it. Then reachiang in my pocket and getting one out and giving it to her.

She then replied.... "Well i'm surely not gonna wear it."

I said in response: "That is up to you. But getting back to you having the right to suspend me. I have contacted an outside Catholic organzation, who is great at taking people like you to court, since you are discrimintating me, as a Catholic. And I plan on carrying through if you continue to harrass me."

She said, "Your dismissed."

So I left, and when I left I saw her put the scapular I gave her on.

I touched her. Hopefully this will help her! [/quote]
Wow. You rock. Only if my faith could be like yours.
