Junior high teacher tells kid to remove Marines t-shirt or get suspended (has guns on it)
The latest bit of anti-gun hysteria erupted in a school setting on Monday when an eighth-grade teacher threatened a 14-year-old boy with suspension if he did not remove his t-shirt supporting the United States Marines.
The incident occurred in a reading class at Genoa-Kingston Middle School in a small town in northeast Illinois. The teacher, Karen Deverell, believed the interlocking rifles emblazoned across Michael McIntyre’s shirt violated the school’s dress code, reports Fox News.
McIntyre’s father, Daniel McIntyre, said Deverell made him turn the shirt inside out for the rest of the day. He also noted that the boy had worn the shirt to school on many previous occasions without threats of suspension.
“My son is very proud of the Marines, and, in fact, of all the services,†the elder McIntyre told Fox News. “So he wears it with pride. There are two rifles crossed underneath the word ‘Marines’ on the shirt, but to me that should be overlooked. It’s more about the Marines instead of the rifles.â€

1. Fox News trying to make fans of gun control look stupid?
Did they cover how many shootings were yesterday in an attempt to make a pro gun control argument?
You look stupid on your own, you don't need Faux Snooze to help you.
How many of the shootings yesterday were in gun free zones and cities with very strict gun control?

2. Tough nuggies. Guns on a shirt in school don't belong.
Kudos to the teacher. Religion, Marines, whatever deserve no special protections or exemptions.
Yeah those are reserved for socialists, gays and any other protected group of the left.
How dare those fundies expect the same rights that every other group gets?
