School policy forbids clothing that displays images of alcohol, drugs or tobacco products on school grounds. That policy is clearly communicated to all students, and it is not effected by what issues may or may not be on the ballot in an election year, Wharton said.
It's the marijuana leaves that we have a problem with. Not your politics.
Students are allowed to wear political t-shirts and other campaign-related items for candidates and issues, as long as they are appropriate, as determined by school administrators, Wharton said. This fall, numerous SHS students have worn t-shirts with an image of a human fetus and the message “Save a Life, Vote Yes on Referred Law 6.”
“We had been seeing all these abortion shirts at school, and we thought, OK, I guess we can get political,” Valenzuela said of his decision to wear the shirt to school.
Fetuses > Marijuana Leaves
Don't get me started on the Rightwing Christian nutbags that want to turn South Dakota into The Coat-Hanger State. Much better bloggers than me have done a superb job of it.
I hope that some high school students in Saskatoon get in trouble for wearing SKMP t-shirts to school. There is no such thing as bad press, right?
