^ little boy discussing the situation

 

 

^Saw that trending on Facebook.

 

Anyways, the school told him to leave the backpack at home because it was "causing" people to bully him...

 

Thoughts?

That is unforgivably stupid

yay, rant time, 

 

 

ok first what the hell? this is incredibly stupid, what happened to freedom of expression? huh? apparently if you like mlp, it doesnt apply to you, isnt that nice? and how can they punish that kid for being nullied? what i have a power rangers hat, i get remarks and stuff in the halls, is it my fault that these no-life punks are looking for a way to feel good about themselves? no, its theirs and the school board should know it, admittedly i am twice that kids age but still, if i get my freedom to express myself, he should too

Yeah, I cross the line at not letting the students express themselves through what they wear.

this is like a school uniform, they are taking the "bad" stuff away they say

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

This is like how schools are trying to enforce uniforms; they're taking away a student's right to express themselves, and it truly makes me sick. Even though shit like this seems to happen on a basis, it's hard to live with.

Hi , there's already a topic for this over in Sugarcube Corner. As such, I'll have to lock this.
 
What happened to this boy definitely bothers me, though.
