That Pandering Asshole of an Ambulance Chaser Calls Teen Mocked for Wearing T-Shirt

[trailmonkee]

I feel bad for the kid, they should be able to wear whatever they want... But Rmoney is such a fucking weasel... yesterday it was the sappy ripped off Navy Seal stories and now this?

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney called Samantha Pawlucy, the Philly teen who was chastised first by her teacher and then fellow students for wearing a Romney-Ryan T-shirt to school.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the Romney campaign confirmed that Romney called the teen on Wednesday, which is the same day the Pawlucys pulled all three of their kids out of the school because of the controversy.

The ordeal made national headlines last week when Samantha, 16, wore a pink Romney-Ryan shirt to Charles Caroll High School. Her geometry teacher, Lynette Gaymon, "told me to get out of the classroom," Samantha told NBC10. "She told me to take off my shirt and said that she has another one if I need one. And then the teacher asked me...'are your parents Republican?' I said, 'I don't know.' She said, 'That's like wearing a KKK shirt.' "

1. I find this hard to believe.

If Romney-Ryan is hated that much? Why are the polls close?

Whatever - I see this being debunked in 1-2 days.

2. Why does this story reek of bullshit? I'm not buying it. n/t

3. "That's like wearing a KKK shirt"

Well Mormons did preach the same thing the KKK preached. That black people were cursed and inferior.

This is why so many schools have gone to uniforms.

4. If she doesn't like the criticism then she shouldn't have

worn that shirt.

As far I'm concerned, she deserved everything she got from wearing it.

7. You HAVE to be kidding me

You honestly think the teacher was justified? Amazing. Simply amazing.

[gkhouston]

10. I don't believe the teacher said any such thing.

She was probably asked to remove the shirt because the school has a policy about shirts with slogans.

[joeglow3]

12. I would agree...if she was only asked to remove the shirt

However, the confirmed comments went waaaay beyond that. While I agree with the sentiment, the teacher had ZERO right to do what she did. Maybe I see this different because I live in a red state. I would HATE to see the shit my kids would have to endure if this behavior was accepted on the other side.

14. Anyone loser who wears a shirt ENDORSING a fucking piece of shit repuke deserves

all the criticism he or she gets.

Had Pawlucy known any better she would have NEVER worn it in the first place.

It's that simple.

[joeglow3]

15. And everyone in Nebraska would say that with the parties reversed

Fortunately, people with your idiotic views are in the small minority.

5. It turns out the teacher

said something in a joking manner.
From what I read it was totally innocuous, and I understand the classroom AND the girl laughed at the remark.
After other kids outside the classroom said some things did she get the idea that she was being treated badly.
She tells the scumbag parents, they see $$ and cameras and 'fame' and they run with it.
It is despicable, she will be paid by the RNC, I'll bet anyone 500 bucks they will make a commercial out of it.
All over NOTHING.


But, thats the repuke way, make money any way you can, use your kids, who cares?
It's the M-O-N-E-Y thats important.

6. but when the Beast Limbaugh who is in a powerful position and has millions attacked Sandra Fluke

and said he wanted sex tapes of her and other nasty things he just said "i wouldn't have put it that way". which usually means they agree.


also, this story about htis girl and the shirt was from some time ago , what took him so long ?

[WinkyDink]

8. I got away with a lot of classroom political comments, but I wouldn't advise it now!

[OldDem2012]

9. Here's the deal...all schools now have a policy about what you can and cannot wear to school...

...shirts banned include those with expletives and political slogans, for obvious reasons. All parents are informed about this policy at the start of each school year.

This is on the parents for letting her wear a prohibited shirt to school, and it's certainly not on the school or the teacher.

[gkhouston]

11. +1. A "logo free, word free" (i.e., plain) solid-colored shirt rule isn't uncommon.

And the colors are sometimes restricted, too.

[joeglow3]

13. Does that same policy say teachers then get to mock and ostracize students?

Sorry, but the teacher fucked up. And I would be ripping assholes if some conservative teacher here in Nebraska tried to pull this shit on the other side of the aisle with one of my kids. Don't excuse shitty behavior because you agree with the sentiment.
