Snohomish High School bans "Snohos" T-shirts

"SNOHOMISH, Wash. -- "Snoho" has appeared without incident in Snohomish High School yearbooks, on the school district's Web site and in the name of an espresso stand, SnoHo Mojo, but the plural form is another matter.

Justin Patrick, 17, a senior, was suspended briefly in February after arguing when he was told to cover up a T-shirt with "SNOHOS" emblazoned across the chest.

He and four friends wore SNOHOS T-shirts mostly beneath coats in a protest Wednesday...

...The singular form also got the Snohomish girls dance team scolded this school year. After they made their own T-shirts saying "Snoho" on the front and "mish" on the back, the coach ordered that they not be worn, the principal said."

Yeah. My mom would not let us say 'Geez' because she knew I was really meaning to say 'Jesus'...filthy minded adults.

1. This is just crazy

The school sponsored sports tennis team jersey's all say Snoho on front. In addition the girls teams all have "Panther" paw prints placed carefully on each butt cheek of their school sponsord sweat pants. I find that far more questionable than Snoho's.

Besides most of the kids in town call themselves Snohomies.

Sorry---They have carried this one a little too far.
