My kids have a dress code and can’t wear what they want but this still bugs me (my daughter could wear her Hillary Duff t-shirt):

Ben Lewandowski says he was only trying to be patriotic when he wore a homemade T-shirt featuring an American flag bumper sticker and the words “Remember 9/11” to Lincoln Park High School on Monday.

After all, it was Sept. 11 — five years after the terrorist attacks.

The 17-year-old Lincoln Park resident put the shirt on Monday morning and headed to school — where he was quickly sent to the office and suspended for three days for violating the school’s dress code.

He was one of at least seven students sent home for wearing shirts featuring patriotic images and messages. It comes less than a week after three siblings were suspended for wearing shirts emblazoned with the First Amendment, despite warnings, and a week after more than 200 students were sent home on the first day of school for violating the district’s dress code — which bans apparel with writing or pictures.

I thought it was funny that they banned the First Amendment from school, how appropriate.
