You gotta love how quickly "standards" bounce back and forth on different cases.

From some people on some issues, you'll hear statements of "It's a learning institution, not an indoctrination warehouse" or "I don't want my kids to be learning that issue from ...". Or the beloved "Why must we sexualize our kids at such a young age?".
Or even "Why can't we let kids just be kids?"

But then flip to a different issue, and suddenly it becomes an issue of "civil rights". And suddenly, what is shown in an elementary school can suddenly be very graphic... A "parents' right" to not have the child learn about a certain topic until an age that the parent finds "suitable" can be something entirely different, or non-existent....


Personally, I'm not sure what to think of the t-shirt.
I think the students should have some right to individual expression. "Age Suitable" being a necessary boundary6.
On another level, I can't help but wonder what grade this girl is in. The main concern being the graphic nature of the picture of the fetus. (And that goes for somebody who wants to wear a picture of what their future brother/sister will look like to, independent of the "abortion" issue.)

Regardless, I guess I can be assured that any phrases like "Why can't we let kids just be kids?" that aren't heard from people on this subject will also be absent from the same people on OTHER subjects as well?

Likewise, I guess I can rest assured that those people who support the above will have no difficulty supporting other, less graphic symbols...
( I'm not going to hold my breath.)
