RUSH: Here\u2019s Sandra in Ellisville, Mississippi. Hey, Sandra, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush. Much to my shock this morning at 11:15, I\u2019m just gonna make this short and sweet, I get a call from my sixth grader in elementary school saying that I had to bring him another shirt or go home. And I didn\u2019t understand what the problem was. He was wearing his brother, who\u2019s in the Marine Corps fighting in Afghanistan, a United States Marine Corps shirt that had the logo of the bulldog that said “If you\u2019re not the lead dog,” on the front. On the back it says, “the view never changes,” and it\u2019s the rest of the bulldog, and he was flagged to the office by the principal for being inappropriate and offensive.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Wait just a second now. What kind of shirt?<\/p>\n
CALLER: It\u2019s a United States Marine Corps —<\/p>\n
CALLER: No, it\u2019s a T-shirt that my son got in boot camp.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay, does the school not permit shirts?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Oh, no, they allow T-shirts.<\/p>\n
RUSH: They do allow T-shirts.<\/p>\n
CALLER: Rebel flags and all. Yeah.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Okay. We couldn\u2019t wear T-shirts other than gym. I just didn\u2019t know. So in Mississippi they\u2019re making your son change shirts \u2019cause it\u2019s pro-Marine Corps?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I can\u2019t figure that one out. I thought maybe I\u2019d come to you in all your wisdom, maybe you could tell me because my mind is like Krakatoa right about now.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, I can understand a very activist liberal isolated teacher being offended by military displays, honor, things that are pro-military and so forth, \u2019cause they might think, “This is pro-killing. This is pro-war. I\u2019m not gonna have it in my class.” But that\u2019s even a stretch in Mississippi. Without being there, I\u2019m at a loss. Has your son said any more?<\/p>\n
CALLER: I immediately took him home and my third grader under the premise of stupidity, because I walked in the office and he was sitting there with the shirt inside out. I immediately made him stand up and turn it the correct way, since his brother is fighting for this country.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: In the Marine Corps.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Yeah.<\/p>\n
CALLER: There\u2019s nothing offensive. It just says, “USMC,” the bulldog, and it says, “If you\u2019re not the lead dog…” His brother gave it to him and said, “Don\u2019t ever forget: Never be a follower, always be a leader.” The little girl sitting next to him said, “I don\u2019t think it\u2019s offensive,” and the principal… I immediately demanded to speak to the principal. The principal would not confront me and I immediately took my children out. How can our men and women fighting overseas, for any branch of the military, be considered offensive and inappropriate?<\/p>\n
RUSH: Well, to a liberal, it is. Look, you know that. You know that there are liberals, in classrooms and everywhere else, who despise the US military.<\/p>\n
CALLER: This is a school that I wanted them to attend because — and, hey, I probably shouldn\u2019t say this — they still hand out Bibles. They still have once-a-month Bible classes, and right in front in the main hallway, it has the flag that says, “In God we trust.” So I was proud to come back to the Deep South where my conservative Heritage and roots are. You know, and they still believe in what used to be a great country. And then to have this happen today? Ugh! Lord.<\/p>\n
RUSH: I\u2019m at a loss. There\u2019s a part of me that totally understands this. No, not that “accepts” it, don\u2019t misunderstand. I totally understand. The horror stories I\u2019ve heard from parents about things their teachers do in classrooms, I hear that. But I can\u2019t imagine this is school-wide. I can see an isolated teacher trying to make this happen, but school-wide? I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever heard of this. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever heard of a student being judged unfit for wearing something military. Maybe camouflage. Well, no, I can\u2019t even think of that. I don\u2019t know. Maybe somebody will have an answer to this.<\/p>\n
What are you gonna do about it?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Well, I\u2019ll tell you what I\u2019m gonna do. I\u2019m seriously considering, A, going back to homeschooling; or, B, a private school. But the last words I told them in that front office, those liberal Nazi pansies, was, “What\u2019s next, they can\u2019t wear the American flag on Cinco De Mayo?” And I left. I left.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) What did they say?<\/p>\n
CALLER: They couldn\u2019t say anything because all they were seeing was my tail end.<\/p>\n
RUSH: (laughing) Well, did you feel any satisfaction walking out of there?<\/p>\n
CALLER: Like you have no idea, with both my boys under my arms. There\u2019s no way. I hope (garbled) and hear that I stood up for him and his fellow Marines and all the other branches out there fighting that I will not — I will NOT — tolerate it. You can call me Sugar, Babe, Darlin\u2019, Hon\u2019, and smack me on the bottom if you want, okay? I want the country back, and this was an absolute slap in my face. And I told them exactly what I thought in the office, and I took my kids home.<\/p>\n
