No ""symbols oriented toward violence." That covers everything, i guess. No football jerseys.?

7th grader told his Star Wars shirt isn't allowed in school

ROSENBERG, TX (KTRK) -- dec 11 2015
A 7th grader in Rosenberg says he was forced by school administrators to cover up his Star Wars t-shirt.

Joe Southern says his son, Colton, wore a shirt depicting the "Star Wars - The Force Awakens" logo, along with a Storm Trooper holding a weapon, to class Thursday at George Junior High School. He's apparently worn it to school several times before without any issue.

On Thursday, though, school officials told Colton the shirt was banned because it has a gun, or at least a picture of what in the movie is weapon.

"It's political correctness run amok. You're talking about a Star Wars t-shirt, a week before the biggest movie of the year comes out. It has nothing to do with guns or making a stand. It's just a Star Wars shirt," Southern said.

A spokesperson for Lamar Consolidated Independent School District says the LCISD secondary school handbook spells out potential violations of dress code. The list includes "symbols oriented toward violence."

If he's a Muslim he can call "racism" to the world, get invited to the White House, and sue the school district for $15 million.

'Rebel Scum' is a quote from Star Wars.

So answer my question. If the school can ban "symbols of violence" do they also ban football jerseys and shirts with pics of cars? THINK
