The latest bit of anti-gun hysteria erupted in a school setting on Monday when an eighth-grade teacher threatened a 14-year-old boy with suspension if he did not remove his t-shirt supporting the United States Marines.
The incident occurred in a reading class at Genoa-Kingston Middle School in a small town in northeast Illinois. The teacher, Karen Deverell, believed the interlocking rifles emblazoned across Michael McIntyres shirt violated the schools dress code, reports Fox News.
McIntyres father, Daniel McIntyre, said Deverell made him turn the shirt inside out for the rest of the day. He also noted that the boy had worn the shirt to school on many previous occasions without threats of suspension.
My son is very proud of the Marines, and, in fact, of all the services, the elder McIntyre told Fox News. So he wears it with pride. There are two rifles crossed underneath the word Marines on the shirt, but to me that should be overlooked. Its more about the Marines instead of the rifles.
