This is a hoot!
http://www.gay.com/news/article.html?2004/04/02/4

A teenage lesbian who was sent home from school for wearing a "Barbie is a Lesbian" T-shirt has received $30,000 in a settlement with the New York City Department of Education.

This almost makes up for that snotty little brat who, a couple years back, paraded around in a shirt with those stick-figures you see on bathroom walls of a man and a woman, holding hands, and saying something about "heterosexual pride" or whatever in such a way that it indirectly slammed 'gay pride' and such... Gee, what next, will he go into school wearing a t-shirt saying "While male republicans are beautiful"? (in other words, people who flaunt their majority viewpoint look stupid and obtuse; they're not fighting for anything because they've already got it and more and don't get it as to why the minority elements speak up...)

1. That's funny!
Wearing a t-shirt that says "Barbie is a Lesbian" doesn't even get into "gay pride" issues, AFAIC. (After all, she did just dump ken. I think it was so she could take up with one of the other girl dolls.)

3. That's retarded...


30,000 dollars for sending her home? Give me a fricking break. Apologize, don't do it again and give a pass on any classes she missed....maybe some ice cream or something...

Jesus. This is insane. 30,000 that could have gotten to the victim of a real crime. This is the kind of garbage that makes people hate lawyers and lose faith in the system.
