KAC makes the news
http://gunssavelives.net/blog/video-18- ... gun-shirt/
Here we go again. More anti-gun hysteria in our public schools. This time it’s out of a state you might expect for such behavior – Illinois.
Chris Borg, an 18 year old senior at Hinsdale Township High School was told he either had to turn his t-shirt inside out, wear another shirt for the rest of the day, or leave school. The shirt depicted an outline of an AK-47 style rifle with the words “Team AK” on it as well as a URL for Kentuckyarmoryclub.com.
Borg left school, citing his first amendment right to free speech as the reason he refused to remove the shirt.
Now Borg, who was subsequently suspended for his refusal to change his clothing, is fighting to get the suspension removed from his record.
According to the Chicago Tribune,
Supt. Bruce Law said the T-shirt is a violation of the dress code outlined in the school’s handbook.
The handbook states that students are subject to disciplinary action when they wear clothing that “is deemed vulgar, inappropriate, unsafe or disruptive to the educational process (e.g., advertising/display of alcohol, drugs, tobacco, sexual innuendo).
Borg said he was told the T-shirt was unsafe and disruptive.
Borg goes on to point out that their history books depict firearms and even the school’s mascot, a devil, carries a pitchfork.

Re: KAC makes the news
If you want to call the shirt disruptive, you can argue all day about the definition....but unsafe? It's a frigging piece of cotton

If I can remember correctly, his father bought the shirt from 111 Gunshop .GeminiXD9 wrote:Anybody know if he's a member or is family of a member?
Think he posted up in the intro section over a year ago.
Hate to see full grown adults picking on defense less teens over this kind of stuff.
Glad Chris stood up to these freedom haters.

I'm up for sending him some more swag to wear. The guy gets a free t shirt or sticker if we can locate him.
Oh, how so high they fly........ only further to fall.

Kinda vague don't you think? Our servers could totally suck and the above statement would still be accurate

What, No KFA hoodie?
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
