Banned Anti-Gay Printed T-Shirts under Appeal
Wednesday 27th of February 2008 12:50:04 AM
People wear printed t-shirts to express their views, thoughts and sometimes just to be funny. Sometimes these shirts cause controversy like in Illinois, US. Two students wore an anti-gay t-shirt to school and told to change because it caused problems and violated the school's policy. This caused quite a stir because some feel it is insulting while others say that it is freedom of speech. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has stepped into this debate on whether or not students should be wearing this t-shirt. They believe that people should have freedom of speech and be able to wear whatever they would like especially those who would like to voice that they are gay. However, they believe that everyone should be able to express him or herself freely.
The school board where two of the students wore the anti-gay shirt that read, "Be happy, not gay" has banned the shirt. Both the ACLU and the anti-gay Alliance Defense Fund are fighting to have the policy changed so that both sides can have freedom speech. This case is currently still in the courts due to an appeal.

the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
Delighted with the results. Very popular so repeat orders very likely.
great service, no problems at all
