Wow I'm so impressed by your courage Rev!

Just remember to keep up that postive Christian attitude! I know if it was me I'd be going borderline disrespectful, to put it mildly. The nerve of the school - where do they think they are - FRANCE?

Pro-life shirt barred as 'obscene'
Administrator determined anti-abortion message violates policy

A Virginia high school student was barred from wearing a shirt with a pro-life message because it violates the school's policy against profane or obscene language.

The shirt says: "Abortion is Homicide. You will not silence my message. You will not mock my God. You will stop killing my generation. Rock for Life."

Assistant Vice Principal Marylin Sinclair-White at Denbigh High School in Newport News, Va, told the student Feb. 18 he could not wear the shirt to school.

On Tuesday, the Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center sent a four-page demand letter to school officials, giving them 10 days to reverse the decision or face a lawsuit.

The Law Center, who would not name the student because he's a minor, emphasized other students at the school were allowed to display various messages on their clothing, including an image of a marijuana leaf.

The letter said the student simply wishes to continue to peacefully and passively express his firmly held views on the important political, social, and moral subject of abortion just as other students are allowed to express their own messages.

The Law Center insisted the student's pro-life message could not possibly be considered lewd, vulgar, profane or obscene.

As WorldNetDaily reported, a student in Cleveland last year was given two days of Saturday detention after two students in his 1,200-member high school complained about a sweatshirt with the same message.

In Pennsylvania, a junior high school principal barred a T-shirt with that message, arguing it was the equivalent of wearing a swastika to school. The principal later reversed his decision after the Thomas More Law Center explained the student's First Amendment rights and threatened a lawsuit.

Edward White, associate counsel for the Law Center, told WorldNetDaily the group has received dozens of calls about similar cases around the country, including 25 in the first month of the previous school year.

One school barred a shirt that simply said, "I'm pro-life."

Two years ago, White recalled, a school barred a third-grader from wearing a shirt that said, "Jesus Christ," because it was considered profanity.

"Usually school officials back off," he said. "But it's interesting, it's just conservative, pro-life or Christian kids who get hassled. They always say other kids who wear shirts with a playboy bunny, Marilyn Manson, beer ads or cigarette ads never are pulled aside by a teacher."

she put it on? wow, thats so great. i hope and prey it stays on :) keep it up, keep your cool, and keep Catholocizing! haha
as for the shirts... heres what the teachers are really saying:
Christ died on the cross FOR us to have LIFE.
thus, the cross is a means FOR LIFE.
in partial latin, PRO LIFE.
the cross, is then, PRO LIFE.
PRO LIFE, say the teachers, is equal to a swastika.
so, what they are really saying is, the cross is equal to a swastika.
see the messed up logic pro-death people use?
anyway... God Love you, bye now!
seek good and avoid evil :)
