…they managed to get one right, this time.

Louisiana high school student, Brandon Frost, wore his Colts jersey to school on “jersey day”. Frost is from Indiana and proudly sported Addai’s moniker across his shoulders. Once, the fascist school principal, Steve Vampran beheld the shiny blue in a sea of black and gold it was all over for Mr. Frost.

“He said, ‘I don’t recall telling you that you could wear a Colts jersey,” Frost said. Frost said he tried to protest and pointed out he was just showing support for a team in the same manner at his classmates.

But, according to Frost, Vampran replied: “If you like Indiana so much, why don’t you go back?”

Brandon was sent home. Colts not welcome in Louisiana schools.

Now, the ACLU, to the rescue:

“The law is clear that students do not shed their rights to freedom of speech at the schoolhouse gates. Whether or not you approve of a student supporting the Indianapolis Colts, if a school opens itself up for students to wear shirts in support of one team, it must recognize the right of other students to support the opposing team,” Esman wrote.

Marjorie Esman, state ACLU director, has demanded that Frost’s record be cleared of any disciplinary entries from this incident.

I have to wonder if the Minnesota ACLU would have run to my daughter’s rescue, if, she had suffered adverse consequences for donning her “NObama 08″ tee. Somehow, I don’t think so… in the end she chickened out. The poor dear had already been ridiculed by teachers and harassed by students for speaking out against the “Anointed One”. That is not an uncommon experience for politically conservative students in government schools…but, a Colts jersey?! Really?!

On a lighter note:

Indianapolis gonna RAWK ‘em!

I caught my 4th grader playing Farmville on Facebook this afternoon. She was supposed to be doing her homeschool assignments…
Should I let her off the hook, and count this as her art class?

GO BLUE!!!
