Thursday Fighting Back Open Comments

A student who offended by wearing a pro-border wall t-shirt to school is suing.

Good for him.

His teachers are snowflakes. He’s the torch. Melt some libs, I say!

“An Oregon high school student is suing his school, saying it violated his First Amendment rights when it suspended him for wearing a Trump T-shirt.

The student, 18-year-old Addison Barnes, told FOX 12 that he was asked to cover up a T-shirt he was wearing that said “Donald J. Trump Construction Co.” on it, or leave school. The shirt also included a Trump quote: “The wall just got 10 feet taller.”

According to KGW, Barnes wore the shirt to his People and Politics class at Liberty High School in Hillsboro in January, and he told the TV outlet he knew they’d be discussing immigration in class that day.

The school official who pulled Barnes out of class to ask him to cover the shirt also told him at least one student and one teacher had been offended by the shirt, The Associated Press reported.”

“I decided, you know this isn’t right,” he told the TV station. “I have my First Amendment, and it’s not right what they’re doing.”

He removed the covering, so officials sent a security guard to the classroom to remove Barnes, who was told to cover his shirt or go home for the rest of the day, according to The Associated Press.”

Mowers need oil? My mower, circa 2010, is running tip top. Last year I replaced the coil with a used one obtained on Amazon; this year I had to replace the little diaphragm that sits under the carburetor. Oh, and I did put in a new air filter last year. Starts on the first pull and runs like a top.… Read more »

I started using Toyota Synthetic motor oil in my 5 year old Sears mower and it’s never run better.

What is a push mower?

That’s the kind us wine snob suburbanites with an average size yard use.

No self propelled for me and no leaf blowers.

Mow, edge and sweep in 1.15.
1.5 on the extra hot and humid days.

I agree with school uniforms simply because it clears the mind to some degree, not so much concern over whether you are wearing all the trendiest clothes. I think I would have done better in school if I hadn’t spent so much time deciding what to wear the next day. I did fine in school, but I could have done… Read more »

#16 Shannon I’m pretty sure that it is settled law that public schools can tell children what they can and cannot wear and set grooming standards. That’s not the point. Public school districts don’t enforce the regulations for which they have been duly authorized by federal courts. They just put up with a rolling, daily crisis of profane, disgusting, politicized,… Read more »

No amount of alcohol, sausage or bacon is safe according to a new global blueprint on how to beat cancer. I gave up tobacco. That’s as far as I’m willing to go. I’m a Texan, so I don’t believe in “global blueprints”, anyway. Give up Eckermann’s Smoked Sausage? Are you out of your mind? Go bother some global sheep elsewhere.… Read more »

I loved live TV, Betty Furness and her Westinghouse Frost Free Refrigerator,…..if she could just get the dang door open. The fun starts about 00:44. FWIW, the newfangled Ice Box had an electrically operated door and a stage hand accidentally tripped over the cord and unplugged it.

Trump walks away from talks with the Norks. This is a great move. Read his letter. Rocket Man gains world stature just by being on the same stage with the POTUS, regardless of what is said or done.
