People are people and stick figures don't count.
So I am still stewing over the stick people and story thing with the school and got even more ticked off when Mikey came over and his mom yells from the truck, "So anymore stick people today?" Chuckle chuckle.
She's cool. She didn't mean it in a mean way. She's like me. If this had been Mikey, she would have driven over there and torn that guidance counselor a new asshole and then stitched it up. (surgical nurse for a living)
So I sat and stewed and came up with the only way I know for Mark and myself to fight back against the school and their fear of children.
They don't help kids by discussing bullies and stuff. They don't protect them by installing metal detectors, no that would be too easy.
They ban shirts that exhibit "offensive" whatever. I say whatever because they still haven't defined offensive to any of us parents.
So I designed a shirt and I am printing it out today and going to iron it to a nice black t-shirt.

The image will be on the front and the words on the back of the shirt.
I made the image using the print screen button from the extreme fighting stick figure movie. Watch out for a few pop ups if you click this link.
I feel a few calls from the school to myself on Monday don't you?

LMAO! You rock!
Most parents wouldnt bother fighting back. They would rather sit back and let people assume their kids have issues.
Not you!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!
And hey, if it makes you unpopular with the school then so be it!

I can't stand these school and teachers who think that clothing makes kids go crazy. It's ridiculous to us parents who know our kids.

Most parents just conform rather than fight for their kids rights to be individuals. I don't think just because someone says do this thing that we want you to do that you should just do it. I think you should always question rules if you feel they are unjust. In the workplace it's one thing to be a follower of rules, you are getting paid to be a good little employee but in a public school that is always asking parents to get more involved and buy more crap, I'd like to know the reasons behind the rules. If they are valid, I'll follow them.

He's wearing it today. We'll see how well this goes. I also wrote a letter and hope to get a response to that today as well.
Thanks for the support.
