If only Alan Holmes had used a clock in a box to troll his way into the White House.

I love t-shirts. I love right wing t-shirts. I wear them for a myriad of reasons.

They’re comfortable, practical and, perhaps most importantly, they irritate liberals.

This week, during my travels on the internet, I found the story of a young man in Oregon who shares my passion.

Alan Holmes is an 8th grader at Dexter McCartey Middle School and he wore a t-shirt with a gun on it to school.

Now, it wasn’t an NRA shirt (not that there’s anything wrong with that).

It wasn’t a shirt with a gangster rapper brandishing a handgun, either.

Brace yourselves, people: It was a shirt that honours fallen Marines.

Alan was suspended for this.

The school administration says they have rules to follow. They don’t allow shirts that promote tobacco, drugs, alcohol or violence.
Wait. Violence?

Honoring the men and women paid for our freedom with their lives isn’t “violence." It’s gratitude.

And at Dexter McCartey Middle School, they suspend you for gratitude.




if barry had a t-shirt it'd look like...

School administration. hhmmm A shining example of the Peter Principle.
I hope the Marines send a reply to those admins. Perhaps a visit from the Geico therapist.

Why? Why should the Marines care? They have better things to do than search the interwebz for reasons to be offended.
