to harddtime and masterpiece. you two obviously are still in high school, and you shouldn't be on this board reading about gear until you're 18 years old. come back in a year or two. in the meantime, if your teachers tell you to do something, you do it. don't cry foul and look for mommy or daddy's lawyer to bail you out. this particular case was fairly aggregious and anyone with half a brain would agree that it was a pretty stupid thing for that teacher to do, but these posts illustrate a couple of points.
1. if something bad happens, you DON"T have the God-given right to get paid enough money so you don't have to work anymore. Its people like me (those of us out of high school and college that pay taxes and pay 4 insurance) that have to pay for idiots like you that want to go around suing everyone.
2. there are to many lawyers out there making #1 possible. the recessions of late 80's and today have pulled talent out of MBA schools and make more post-collegiate kids goto law school, they come out with nothing to do but chase ambulances.
3. my usual mantra - UP WITH COPS!!! DOWN WITH LAWYERS!!! LITTLE KIDS HAVE NO RIGHTS!!!! IF A COP OR A TEACHER TELLS YOU TO DO SOMETHING, DO IT!!! (99.999999% OF THE TIME ITS NOT "EXPOSING YOUR UNDERWEAR_.
4. I think teachers have every right in the world to tell these little kids how to dress (not underwear of course, DUH??) but everything else, hat's gang colors, etc.,
5.. hardtime and misterpice - when you two get out of school and start working and then you maybe find a woman stupid enough to let you bang her and you have a few trailer trash kids, you'll thank the administrators who keep the scumbags at school from knifing your nice kids and keep the gangs at bay as best they can.
