Not in a school unfortunately, you don't. The county school board is free to set whatever limits they wish to impose on students.

I think your case is worthy of a well written letter to the editor of the local paper, though. You could easily mention how there is no such thing as an LSD addiction so the shirt couldn't possibly be a drug reference.

they are within their right to have a double-standard as long as they are not discriminating against a legally protected class. suckage? yeah. legal? yeah.

gear02 · 03-10-2005, 09:09 AM

Just wait until college...then you can ACUTALLY get hooked on LSD

In the mean time realize high schools are very authoritarian.

SnowSurfer · 03-10-2005, 11:40 AM

what rights do high school students have??

cheapie · 03-10-2005, 11:43 AM

same as everyone else. however, you are not trying to excercise your right to free speech in public. you are trying to do so in their building. big difference. i couldn't wear that shirt to my work so don't feel too bad.

Yes it is, but who is really going to be offended by some hot girl wearing a skimpy outfit? I know that is what helped me get through parts of highschool. Just watching all the pretty ladies walk by.

have fun. i'd be more pissed that our schools are so watered down that we're producing a generation that is inferior to the rest of the world. that's a bigger problem imho than the fact that they won't let you wear a shirt making an obvious reference to drugs.

Memo · 03-10-2005, 12:05 PM

Can you honestly say you didn't think you'd get censored? Something tells me you were trying to test the system. The fact that it explains the message on the back doesn't really help your face. I could wear a shirt that said "I hate SPICS" on the front and on the back it said "silly people in clown suits" and it doesn't really make it much better, does it?

BTW, you can be mentally addicted to anything.

she said she was offended.

Markel · 03-10-2005, 12:36 PM

If you ever get your hands on an official Got|Apex t-shirt, you'd better not wear it to school, either!

If I recall - the front reads something about "getting it every day" (or morning).

SnowSurfer · 03-10-2005, 12:52 PM

awww man....is there any way i can get one of those????

i have a music piracy shirt that says

"Downloading pr0n is for noobs, I download music"

or soemthing to that effect

That's not true. LSD is not habit forming in any way. It works on a different level from drugs like coke and weed and opiates. Its not something you take for a buzz or kick. Its more like a 12 hour flight out of reality. Way too heavy duty, way too draining on the body and psyche, to build up any sort of tolerance or physical dependence. It would be like getting addicted to barium enemas.

I meant it in a more general form. LSD is fun as a mother****er. Anything that fun can be habit forming mentally not physically. And as far as tolerance, yes, you do build up a tolerance for LSD.

Of all the things to start a crusade over, this isn't one of them. Try channeling your wounded pride and teenage angst into something a bit more constructive.

mechmike0034 · 03-10-2005, 03:16 PM

Wear this tomorrow - best shirt I have seen in a while:

TofuNinja · 03-10-2005, 05:24 PM

SnowSurfer · 03-10-2005, 06:44 PM

Believe it or not, Target... Dunno about online, tho - I got it in a store.

SnowSurfer · 03-10-2005, 07:52 PM

wow...so yea my plan tmrw is to just stare at the woman blankly and if she tries to talk to me, ignore her

i was going to make a shirt that says

"High school students Rights:
1.Freedom of religion check
2.Freedom of speech no
3.Freedom of expression no"

or

"You can silence the shirt but you can't silence me"

Get back into school and feed your brain... ya dayuum hippie....

(j/k)

But seriously... is the shirt thing really a big issue here? Schools have had dress codes like forever... Just be glad that you don't have to wear an approved "uniform" or something like that.

You ain't there for a fashion show... you are there to learn. You'll have plenty of time to protest later.

SnowSurfer · 03-10-2005, 08:53 PM

It was just the way I was talked to.

The teacher didnt ask for any explanation just sent me straight to the office, I understand this seems stupid (which it is) but is censorship in schools really the right thing to do? I don't think censoring the things people wear instead of policing drug problems is the way the school system should be going.

nickel · 03-11-2005, 06:39 AM

ahhh yes... i remember these days

i feel ya SnowSurfer, but you won't win in this case, and now they are keeping an eye out for you. wear anything even mildly suggestive and you'll be back for reprimand again. sucks, but there isn't anything you can do to change it.

reminds me of a guy when i was in HS who wore a "Makin' Bacon" tshirt and it showed two pigs gettin it on. the teacher protested and he just took the shirt off right on the spot and went shirtless the rest of class. we didn't mind.

he ended up wearing it inside out the rest of the day.
