High-School Students Suspended for Wearing Anti-Gay T-Shirts

Schools kids have a mind of their own with an enormous imagination. School kids having the chance to speak out, well not literally only shown on their t-shirts in which it was a way to convey their message. Kids were banned from wearing t-shirts that said "Sodomy is sin". Students wore t-shirts like this on the "Day of silence". The Day of silence is about stopping gay bashing. "Phil Spears, interim principal of Rio Linda High School said "They’re offensive to some people and disruptive to school," . "Kids are going to react to these." Students that were told to take their t-shirts off received a suspension. I agree if I wore a t-shirt like this back in my days I might get a beating for just supporting them. It depends in what cultural environment you are in and at what event it is worn at that it can cause problems. People need to have a broader understanding about the gay community. I don't see anything wrong with the gay community, people are the most delightful people of all and I feel sorry for some of the people who are still in their closet as some of their families won't accept the way that they are.

The world is changing and we need to learn to accept and understand their way of living. Being gay does not cause a world war and to day they haven't gone out and caused millions of deaths. Being gay is just an expression of who they are. Expression should not be restricted. We have a freedom of speech and what human have the right to say gays are not accepted?

Students are not experienced in being around gay people. They lack understanding and knowledge. Students should be taught about the gay community and this should reduce the nonacceptance in their community. School is a place where they need to provide information and understanding. Being GAY should not be seen as a sin, God created these people and why can't we learn from it?

Designers designing anything on anything: it can cause a controversy. Whatever is being designed it is born to be criticised no matter.

I'm glad to come across this post expressing your open-mindedness. The world would be a better place if we all just lived and let live.

thanks for your response and also well said. The design concept came about was to express and be free which came back to my deisgn concept. I'm in the middle of designing the layout and interface onwhat needs to go into it and and its all about selling t-shits but more on expression from an individual!!
