Abstinence is Offensive

I came upon this story on Yahoo today about a middle school girl who was forced (loved that...forced!) to change the t-shirt she was wearing because it was deemed inappropriate.  The t-shirt reads on the backdrop of a stop sign, "Don't drink & park. Accidents cause kids."  She received the t-shirt after attending a "Silver Ring Thing" conference which promotes the (wonderful) message of abstinence before marriage and centering relationships around Jesus Christ himself.  That's really awkward, but... okay.

Hey, I'm not out to bash abstinence.  Wait... yes, I am.  It's a terrible concept.  In short, it doesn't work.  My parents threatened the fires of hell, the guilt of sin, this, that and all the other preachy crap to me and it didn't work.  In fact, if anything, it made me more promiscuous.  Good thinking, folks!

But that's neither here nor there.  Now back to the t-shirt.  Whether or not I agree or disagree with the concept of abstinence and having awkward relationships centered on Jesus Christ, I am trying to decipher if her shirt should have been deemed inappropriate.  The principal says that the t-shirt has a sexual innuendo to it.  Has anyone ever sat in a parking lot of a middle school or high school lately?  Almost every kid that goes into or comes out of one is a walking sexual innuendo.

It would be nice to have dress codes, but rarely do the schools stick to them.  Are these kinds of t-shirts truly distracting to other students?  Do they really take away from the other students' learning process?  The only thing that I am pleased about is that in a state like Florida, it's nice to see that Jesus freaks are being treated fairly.  If an atheist would have to remove a non-Christian t-shirt, then a gawd-fearing peep should have to remove their wacky message as well.  So for that, I say... LYNCH THE GIRL!!!!!!
