Girl suspend for wearing "barbie is Lesbian" shirt

[herpa2003]

Once again you guys are mixing up sex with being gay. If the shirt was about sex it would be "Barbie has sex with girls" and not, "Barbie is a lesbian". You are mixing up a preference with an action...and the preference isn't about sex, it's whether you like boys or girls.

But still, sexual preferences are best left at home. Sexual preferences have nothing to do with school and they would almost certainly cause distractions in class.

Wait, Who is mixed up?
Sounds like you Earl............... :P

Well, think about what lesbians do to other lesbians...

Good Point :P

Hahahaha! Discrimination- no. The same thing would have happened if she wore a shirt that said, "Barbie likes to have sex with Ken." I don't feel sorry for her at all, I'm glad she was kicked out; it sends a message- you mess with the rules, you're gone...

How does a shirt that suggests Barbie is a lesbian have any sexual content whatsoever?

It doesn't.

...And lucky Lesbians!

But what if Barbie really is a Lesbian? Poor Ken......

[Katamarino]

If Barbie was a real person, with measurements like she has she'd be dead!

Didn't this article also state that the girl was asked to remove rainbow coloured beads from her hair on a previous occasision?

Was this because they were considered a homosexual symbol (aka rainbow flag)?

And what sort of distraction is *Barbie is a Lesbian*?

Is that construing that being a lesbian is controversial and unacceptable?

I think there is way more to this story and it hinges on the *rainbow beads*.

I read discrimination all over this by someone overzealous.

Imagine the torment the poor girl has suffered from as a result of her trying to identify with her inner feelings and having people treat as such because of it?

The sooner we educate our kids it's OK to be gay, that it makes not a scrap of difference to who you are or what you want to achieve in life, the better off society will be in general. And the end of these types of lawsuits.

Whilst I am not in favour of willy nilly law suits about nothing, if this goes to court and the girl is awarded damamges from the school then it should act as a precedent against discrimination against gays and lesbians in schools.

It's pretty sad we have to hit people in the hip pocket to get equality.

I don't think she wore the shirt to make a statement, or to show that she was a lesbian.

I think she just wore it because it was a shirt that she thought looked good - I don't think she was real serious about what was written on the shirt.

Lol, but her shirt interferes with other students learning, it is a distraction and nothing else.

By the way, my different way of thinking was not even sexual....I am totally straight.

But these schools fuck for anything.....damn they!

Omg, this girl isn't going around saying she has sex with other girls. She is saying she's gay, they are completely different things. A sexuality comes naturally to a person, she probably never felt any attraction to boys,and maybe never will. That doesn't mean she's dyking out every weekend with other girls. It just means girls are what she is attracted to. By your definition every person who has decided to be straight at 14 must also be having sex! Basicly, you would have to be insane to find a girl wearing rainbow coloured hair braid things "offensive". The shirt doesn't even say anything offensive. It is just a witty comment on a shirt....it's not like the shirt says something like "Barbie licks Jane's *****".
