Quick, somebody alert Naomi Wolf. We're already living in a police state.An 11-year-old in Aurora says his first amendment rights are being trampled after he was suspended for wearing a homemade shirt that reads "Obama is a terrorist's best friend."Don't they realize they shalt not insult The Messiah?
The fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School wore it on a day when students were asked to wear red, white and blue to show their patriotism.
The boy's father Dann Dalton describes himself as a "proud conservative" who has taken part in some controversial anti-abortion protests. Dalton says the school made a major mistake by suspending his son for wearing the shirt.
"It's the public school system," Dalton says. "Let's be honest, it's full of liberal loons."
The school district told the student, Daxx Dalton, that he had the choice of changing his shirt, turning his shirt inside out or being suspended.
Daxx chose suspension.
"They're taking away my right of freedom of speech," he says. "If I have the right to wear this shirt I'm going to use it. And if the only way to use it is get suspended, then I'm going to get suspended."
Daxx's dad agrees with him and is encouraging his son to stand his ground. "The facts are his rights were violated. Period."
Frankly, though, the father is being a little provocative here and politicizing his kid should wait a few more years at least. Sure, the liberals are indoctrinating these kids, and shame on them for that, but do you job at home and don't make your son a pawn.
