Oklahoma Hates Michigan...actually, every state, especially Texas

[fuckwaffle]

Oklahoma youngster forced to turn his Michigan shirt inside out at school

A 5-year-old boy learned the hard way that Columbus, Ohio, isn't the only place that hates Michigan -- apparently Oklahoma does too.

Young Cooper Barton wore his favorite Michigan shirt to Wilson Elementary in Oklahoma City and was told it violated the Oklahoma City Public Schools dress code and was asked to turn the shirt inside out. According to the dress code, students are only allowed to wear Oklahoma, Oklahoma State or apparel from another Oklahoma state school. Everything else is a violation (especially Texas).

"They should really worry about academics. It wasn't offensive. He's 5," Cooper's mother Shannon Barton told News9.com.


Fucking Nazi.

The quickest way to an ass-kicking in Southern KANSAS is to wear a Longhorn logo...


They were just protecting one of the "slow" kids from a beat-down.


Common Sooner sense.

Well there you go...morons on parade. When the state college football team becomes the be all to the residents(morons) there is something seriously wrong with that.

If they weren't locked into football, the only thing left to do on Saturday night is drink 3.2 beer and fight...

It's not about the team, it's about the dress code.

Every parent is asked to sign the school's code of dress and conduct before the school year starts. I just did it yesterday.

It about discrimination...you can wear a t-shirt with Oklahoma school logos, but not any other states? That's discrimination.

No, it's not about discrimination. They're allowed to wear school logos because it's their school, and allowed other logos because it's support of other state schools. So...if you have an intramural with another school at a sports event, those students aren't tossed out on a technicality. It's rare that they'd have an out-of-state school.

Turning a shirt inside out is not trauma. It's a dress code. If the parents don't like the dress code that much, go to another school without one. If they were unaware of a dress code, that's fine, he's five and that's his first time and parents will learn.

I had a thought about Obama this morning: he's a mirror to one of the key doctrines of conservatism--that all success is earned.

Conservatives believe that success is by definition always merited (and failure as well). That's why it drives them mad to to see Obama's devilish luck in action. Someone aptly compared him to Felix the Cat. He has the same happy-go-lucky effortless knack for the unearned "win"...coming from nowhere to the Oval Office, the Nobel Prize, the bin Laden kill.

Since by the terms of their own "ideology" (actually more an emotional reflex than anything) success is its own justification, conservatives lack the vocabulary to explain Obama to themselves. There's no room for sheer contingency in their worldview. I think that explains at least partly the incoherent aspect of memes or storylines about the potus...he's both a tyrant and a naif, a ruthless Chicago gangster and a doofy professorial wimp. His successes must be.....unearned somehow, perhaps via cheating.

In this conservatives remind me of the resentful class-warring poor man of their favorite narrative, "just jealous" of success.

Although your post has nothing to do with the OP...

Obama was the Chicago Machines golden boy, he didn't earn what he has, it was handed to him by the thugs in Chicago.

As ombudsman it's my prerogative to re-purpose threads as I see fit.

Your remark about the Chicago machine confirms my thoughts. Conservatives don't have a concept for sheer luck or success being a gift of the gods. All success in their ideology is a result of personal effort, either fair and square or via cheating and skullduggery.

The truth is, Obama is just a lucky sonofabitch, like the generals Lincoln preferred to command his armies. "Better to be lucky than good" as they say.

But it's very amusing to consider conservative ressentiment of Obama in light of the usual conservative storyline about losers who are jealous of merited success.

Well, Obamaman, you should know, that I was born and raised in Chicago. I knew Mayor Daley, both of them, personally. My cousin was married to Sr. right hand man. I have seen the machine at work to put it's chosen in power.

I don't know if I'd call myself an Obamaman. I consider him to be a moderate Republican in the areas that concern me. I will vote for him but only because I enjoy the spectacle of neocon(federate)s wailing and nashing their teeth in outer political darkness. If he enacts the threatened "grand bargain" that the teabag party in their madness turned down last year, I may well have occasion to regret my vote deeply.


Anyhow, do you understand the point I'm making? When liberals criticize a rich man for being born with a silver spoon in his mouth (ie, lucky), conservatives don't like it. Maybe conservatives should avail themselves of some of the liberal storyline, as regards Obama.

I laugh everytime the geriatric wing of teh fringe right invokes "Chicago politics".

1960 was just yesterday to these Moldy Oldies....the rest of America, particularly the under-40 demographic, scratches their collective heads and says "wait...whut?"

As a young man I sometimes forget that a lot of people who are still voting and actively following politics had their characters formed when Jim Crow was the law of the southland. To me, a racial mixed president is like, whatever. I can't really appreciate the visercal level on which it twists their panties.

Typical liberal scum...never believe a rich man worked hard for what he achieved...it was given to him on a sliver platter.

Of the following rich people...who gave them their riches?

Steve Jobs(deceased)
Bill Gates
Larry Ellison
Jeff Bezos
Mark Zuckerberg
Larry Page
Dan Ducan

Who, which individual person in the world gave these men their riches?

New parents are surprised by this, but they've got a lot more surprises coming.

There's a lot of good reasons for a dress code, including removing brand advertising on clothing and having kids not develop a status system based on the fashion of their clothes or offending other kids by wearing clothes with insulting slogans and pictures.

I understand why it's a good thing for discipline and isn't torture or fascism. It's practicality.

If it gets "No Fat Chicks" t-shirts out of schools, and it does, that's why it's used, not to terrorize a five year old.

The kid was forced to remove another teams logo.

It had nothing to do with dissing fat chicks.

And I'm sorry but if I can afford nice clothes for my kid, he will wear them. I'm not dressing him in rags to console the bum down the street thats too lazy to work for clothes for his kid.

If you want that, make a school uniform and everybody wears the same....but, some uniforms will still be made from better fabric than others...unless you want them all to wear burlap potatoe sacks

and PS...the US invented brand advertising on clothing
