@tom_g Which is why I like uniforms. I would be in favor of not allowing any words on clothing worn to school in the absence of uniforms.
I want teachers to focus on what the child says and how well he does in class, not make some assumption about a child based on what his t-shirt says or whether his clothing is designer or not. Even with uniforms sometimes the wealth or poverty of a child shows through, which is unfortunate. There have been studies regarding teachers making assumptions on a child’s ability based on their impression of the child. Anything from gender, race, wealth, and others. Hopefully, that has changed over time as we have become more aware of this in education, the studies I had read were a long time ago.
Plus, other children can be horrible and idiots.
@Judi So, I really needed to think about what you wrote. If I saw your t-shirt I think I might assume the wrong characterization of you. You know me, I would ask someone directly before sticking with an assumption, but I think of you as a religious woman, strong belief in God, but, someone who does not _wear religion on your sleeve__, and certainly is very accepting of all people and looks for the goodness in everyone. So, wearing the t-shirt is a bigger outward religious statement than I would expect from you in public. I guess you are actually trying to talk to the Christians with that shirt?
