School dress code says: Students must wear khakis and plain polo shirts. Shirts may not have any logos or slogans.

Critically-thinking challenged fundies say: The school hates Jesus! I'm being persecuted! Change your rules for my whims!

From the great state of Indiana...

The mother of a student who was suspended for violating her school system's dress code says the rules unfairly target religion, WRTV in Indianapolis reported.

Tracy Prochnow said Highland High School in Indiana suspended her daughter, Brittany Brown, on Monday because the junior wore a Christian-themed T-shirt.

Monday was the fourth time Brittany violated the code, which the city's school board implemented this year and requires students to wear khakis and polo shirts.

Prochnow said the school may be violating her daughter's rights, and she has asked the school board to change the code.

"The school is basically saying I can't wear a shirt that talks about Jesus or Christ or God or any religious type of T-shirt because we have to wear a polo," Brittany said.

Obvious fact #1: The dress code has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with graphic t-shirts with logos and slogans. Just because you, Ms. Brown, want to wear a t-shirt with some 'clever' graphic that has a religious bent does not, in fact, mean that the dress code is out to persecute you because you love da Jesus.

Obvious fact #2: Ms. Brown deserved suspension because she willfully violated the dress code four times (...and just how long has school been in session?!). Still nothing to do with religion.

Obvious fact #3: The school districts and households that produced both Ms. Prochnow and Ms. Brown above failed miserably at encouraging the development of critical thinking skills.
