Yipe. Suddenly this 'straight pride' nonsense is everywhere. Truth be told, I would have no problem with a kid wanting to wear a 'straight pride' t-shirt to school, but then we have:
Chambers [the kid in question] began wearing the top partly in objection to the school's practice of setting aside some rooms as "safe zones" for gay and lesbian students.
&
Chambers -- a Christian who believes homosexuality is immoral and unhealthy,
oh, and someone supporting Chambers quoted as saying:
"When the politically correct invoke 'tolerance' they usually mean tolerance only for those promoting deviant and socially destructive behaviors. (My emphasis).
So, a victory for hate speech then. A victory for a bigotted young man who thinks it's wrong that queer students should have areas of the school where they don't get harassed for their sexual orientation. Can I recommend that every student at Woodbury High School wear t-shirts on the first day of term saying 'Elliott Chambers is a small-minded ass'?
As morons.org points out, the school can't stop anyone wearing any t-shirt they want to now, it would be unconstitutional.
