I hope to see more of this kind of thing. I imagine those who would call him a "genderphobe" or whatever, might realize that's not going to get him to back down. This shouldn't be going on in classrooms with LGBTQ+ this and that either way. I think kids get the gist of it well enough without needing schools initiating campaigns over it.

This is worldly nonsense from the right. Which caused this kid to wear this shirt. Only worldly people wear such things. None of these matters to real believers of God.

Does 'none of this matters' apply to those on the left as well?

It's nobody's business except those that might need help, their family and their friends. And those that care will take advice as to the best course of action. This kid's parents have every right to hold whatever views they choose. But to involve their kid in this kind of political posturing is nothing short of disgraceful.

You seem confused about what you want. Because...
...this shouldn't be going on in classrooms with LGBTQ+ this and that either way.
So...let's have more of it? But not in schools? So the kid's parents sending him to school wearing a political slogan (and that's exactly what it is) are doing what you say you don't want?

That’s my take as well. This is learned behaviour and likely picked it up at home.

And what kind learned behavior are kids picking up from adults promoting LGBTQQIP2SAA+ in schools?

Oh dear, he's not conforming to the program. He's refusing to take his Soma.

Obviously I think if it comes to loggerheads, the whole thing will end up subsiding on both ends.
But you want more of it. And this is not a discussion on lgbt per se. It's literally about gender identity. Which you have continuously told us that you simply don't understand. But you want parents to send their kids into schools wearing t-shirts bearing political slogans supporting your view. They want this kid on the frontline. They want him on nationwide tv. They want him in the pages of newspapers. They want his picture broadcast on the internet.

Absolutely shameful. But you won't complain. Because the child is wearing a t shirt on which is a message you want to promote.

I dunno man, would you feel the same way about a kid wearing a rainbow pride t shirt to school?

If the kid wanted to wear the t-shirt it's not the parents doing political posturing. Kids won't wear anything they don't want to wear, and the kid wanted to wear that shirt.

The school sent him home for it, and THAT'S when the lawyer got involved and I do believe it was the lawyers suggestion to use tape and write "censored" on the tape ..

While that was a trap for the school, the school took that bait hook line and sinker, and sent the kid home again.

When there's no dress code, you can't send one kid home for a shirt saying there's only two genders if others are allowed to wear pro-lgbtq (and so forth) clothing. (And pro LGBTQ clothing is EVERYWHERE!)

The point is, that wouldn't have been challenged.
Of course it would. Some pearl clutcher (like the ones who get all bent out of shape about books) would kick up a stink that their little Billy Bobby Beuphort the 3rd had to see a rainbow.

Not sure what his second tee shirt is trying to convey especially when photographed with the Bennington Flag. This flag represents equality for all unless one is using it for purposes that ignite hatred which is what his first tee shirt represented. No one has the right to wear anything that causes pain or is purposely aimed to hurt a particular group. Free speech is not at play here only hate speech.
Blessings.

The school faculty would not have challenged it. Because the school already has LGBTQ+ flags and symbolism on display. Didn't you read or hear that part in article and the video that came with it? How do you survive going to work each day?

No one bleeds their hearts out about his feelings or rights because he's not in the correct demographic for that. He's in the 'you're a hater phobe' demographic. He has just as much right to say there are 2 genders as someone who says there are 112 genders.

Yes! And wearing a t shirt to show that you are a hater of a protected demographic is something only a hateful person would do.

The protected demographic has gotten much of society to bow to whatever they come up with. Whatever they want is theirs. And none shall dare oppose them. Because all who do are the scumb of the earth. That's quite a brilliant set up.
