Why the uproar?

"I know a guy who teaches at a prestigious private school. His school had to adopt a strict dress code when 12-year-old girls started coming to class wearing T-shirts with the words 'Porn Star' emblazoned on them. Just the other day, I saw a girl at the airport who couldn't have been much older than 14 wearing sweatpants with the word 'juicy' emblazoned across her butt. And, two of my best friends are still remorseful, years after the incident, because they didn't rip off a kid's T-shirt - and perhaps his head - because across the cretin's chest read the words: 'Stalin was right.'
As far as I can tell, none of these examples - nor thousands like them - have garnered one one-thousandth of the hand-wringing that this preshrunk cotton hate crime- 'Voting Is for Old People' - has caused."

I didn't hear about this until JWR covered it, but I'm a little amused that the same people that will threaten to have you thrown out of school if you wear a tee shirt that say "I'm pro-life" or "Jesus Christ" because it's "hateful" are all over this.
