Do you think they would let me in with my new t-shirt?

When you go into the meeting place a tape recorder or digital recorder on the table, in plain sight. Do it before you sit down.
It will entirely change the tone of the meeting. Keep your cool and base your talking points on fact.
Don't take it personal, this is business.
Leave the emotions outside.

It is funny how something that small can change someones tone isn't it? Sorry if it has been mentioned but what grade is your son in? I have feeling the RMGO sticker probably falls under "zero tolerance" policy and you will not win in this case. I am not that old and can remember in elementary when we could not even draw guns or play "cops and robbers" because we our hands were the "guns."

Zero tolerance is BS. They have taken it way out of control. Stickers are not dangerous. I'm not that old either but I did carry a pocket knife to school EVERY SINGLE DAY...and even used it as a tool when needed. Hell, I can remember times when teachers would ask the students if they could use their knifes. We brought water guns to school all the time...something that would get you suspended now.

Zero tolerance rules are out of line and without a doubt are partially responsible for demonizing guns in our society from the ground up. After all, the kids are our future and if you want to change the future, you do it with the kids. That applies to this other kid's t shirt too...

I sometimes miss the good old days when I worked in a screen printing shop (don't miss the miniscule checks though ).

If I had a screen printing press I'd print you up some "Jesus Is Not A HOPLOLPHOBE" shirts for lil' scout to wear to school.

When I was in school, not to long ago (pre-1999 fyi) we were not allowed to wear any professional sports clothing or items in the school. Not allowed to have any weapons on campus and were not allowed to wear certain brands (British knights shoes). Reduced gang violence on school property by 40% if I remember correctly.

While I get that we should all have a certain amount of freedom, kids should not be afraid at school no matter what their background. If one child with a sticker of an "evil black rifle" takes away from another students ability to learn (via fear or distraction) then it should be removed. No this does get blow out of proportion far to often but I understand the base logic.

Binder is in the princ office.Going in tommorow to get it.

Take Dudley with you. I'm sure with all of his experience he would be able to sweet talk the Principal.

Male students wearing brightly colored pastels distracts from my son's ability to learn.
Female students wearing Pants distracts from my son's ability to learn.
religious symbols distract from my son's ability to learn.
National flags, political agendas, Testing, Conformity, and rules all distract from my son's ability to learn.

so where's that pesky line again?


its a sticker expressing support for a civil right and political cause.
