You just can't maintain order with dissenting textiles in the room
15-year-old West Virgina high school student suspended for wearing radical t-shirts.
The one I got suspended for said "Racism, Sexism, Homophobia..I'm so proud of the people in the land of the so called "Free".
(Via American Samizdat)
Those T-shirts are just too long! Not at all snappy. I mean, if she's going to be an anarchist teen, there are plenty of anarchist teens with better writers or writing skills. If I wanted to quote the shirt, I'd end up saying the words "something about" at least once.

Ironic... the shirts had more than six words, so the girl was suspended despite the fact that no one else in the school could read them.

And poor graphic design, too. She should've stuck to the classic black arm band.

She should just wear Engrish. All of the impact, three times the humor. A fourth grader today had a shirt that read, "Explosions to bring about World Peace." and a smiley face blue bomb.

=v= Anarchism suffers quite a bit from verbose prose, in large part because it's a body of thought informed by sociology and post-whatever French philosophy. That's just one extreme, though, the other end is "God save the Queen/She ain't no human being." Perhaps what we really need is moderation in anarchy. :^p
