Only E, along with any other religious symbols.  The rest are symbols of hate groups or are used by fascists/communits.  Schools shouldn't encourage that. Students can wear this crap when they're busting up car windows or smoking crack outside of school. School is for learning, not political statements.

School is for learning, not religious statements. Wink

Just pointing out that this isn't very consistent reasoning, Jake, that's all.

True, but a cross will not cause an uproar like a hateful shirt like those would.

Neither is a swastika by that logic.  Hitler=Stalin=Mao, Swastika=Sickle & Hammer=Arrowcross, Nazis=Maoists=Communists.

And Akno, like I said, school is about learning, not "expressing yourself" or "making a statement". That's why uniforms are a good idea. Let kids learn and let them weat whatever they want when they leave school.

Well, I don't know. Personally I don't think people should be allowed to wear well-defined symbols of hate and stupidity (Eg swastikas) to schools..

However, who decides what is hateful - for example some people think that the confederate flag stands for racism, some think it stands for southern heritage & pride....

If someone wants to display their southern pride, let them fly the stars and bars like States does. They don't have to act like the Klan.

What if someone wants to display their Soviet pride with communist symbols? That's just hypocritical.

That's why we should have uniforms obviously.  No statements, just have the kids learn.

This is prohibited by the First Amendment.

No, obviously you forgot your meds today.  When you return to reality, come post again.

Uniforms are critical so you don't have fools wear a god hates fags shirt to school and get into a fight over it.  School is for learning, not making a statement or insulting people.  You obviously were severly beaten as a child and instead of except that, you've transferred the blame onto your school administration in a weird attempt to deny the abuse. Go get help for yourself.

Bandit, some punk with a swastika on his t-shirt is not expressing free speech.  He's being a jackass and disrupting the education process. You know, that thing that school's for.

Being a jackass and disrupting the education process is what school is for?
