UPDATE: Naturally, the ACLU is getting on board with this nonsense.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota is offering to help students fight any consequences in what's become a battle between free speech and school conduct policies.
If you read the whole thing, you will find that the ACLU is uncomfortable "banning" things. I guess that doesn't apply to religious symbols or speech that goes against the liberal agenda.
Original post: While the ACLU would not support a student who wore a "stright pride" t-shirt to school a couple of years ago, and will not support a teenager who wants to wear a "support our troops" necklace to school, they will probably be all over this one.
"...after Carrie Rethlefsen attended a performance of the play "The Vagina Monologues" last month, she and Emily Nixon wore buttons to school that read: "I [heart] My Vagina."
Naturally, there is a major fight brewing over the girls right to wear the pins to school. I wonder if the same fight would be had if boys were wearing, "I love my penis" buttons to school.
Can there be any doubt that it would be characterized as sexual harrassment and disallowed due to uncomfortable feelings it might cause girls?
