    I love how the school board, which initially said "This is a sexual thing and has no place, and it's not open for discussion" suddenly later is saying "We have no idea how this ended up in court. If they'd just come and talked to us [after they got the Lambda Legal Defense Fund backing them] then we certainly would have worked something out."

    Asshats.

    Don't see why the shirt was such a big deal. Plus considering how the Bible portrays Jesus as this flawless Mary-Sue character with little to no flaws and everyone for the most part likes him and he likes everyone else, it makes sense that he wouldn't be a Homophobe.

    Schools these days, dear God, shouldn't they be worrying about what grades the students are getting?

    Glad to see that he won. I hate dealing with school boards. When you go to them the first time they tell you something completely different the second time that you go.
