I personally find the buttons offensive. I believe
in the right of freedom of speech BUT I believe that our rules for dress
code allow for that and yet draw the line on certain types of buttons and
T-shirt writings that are close to or cross the line. (I sat on the
current dress code committee and we had students on the committe)
I suspect that there have been other buttons and T-shirts
that have been ruled as being unacceptable. If these two
girls are allowed to wear the buttons and if the situation is allowed to
broaden to T-shirts by other students then we might as well throw out the dress
codes and let everyone wear what they want.
The same 'freedom of speech' cop-out argument would
probably fit shirts that advertise beer, sex, witches, profanity, etc etc etc.
