"It's just sad to see that in this day and age, the most offensive thing on a shirt can be what people see as a religious symbol," she said.

"Are we going to ban lowercase t's in the alphabet? Where do you draw the line?"


--------

All this is are a couple of liberals getting their panties in a wad over a T-shirt. You know, the cross was a pretty grim symbol for a long time before they decided to hang Jesus on it. What a silly, petty argument. And you know, it's a sad commentary on what our country has become. Next they're going to want to take Jesus out of the manger scenes, or not allow ornaments that depict Him on municipal "holiday trees." Oh wait, nevermind.

The shirt had no religious connotation whatsoever. This is a ridiculous overreation by some hypersensitive people who are trying to stir the pot. If you have a problem with the shirt, just don't buy it.

This is not as bad as the Penn State sorority and fraternity that dressed as the VA tech victims and killer couple years back.

It's sad when things like this are an issue. I think in the next 10 years we will see many college traditions taken away as they may offend "one" person. lame. Pretty soon Ole miss will have nothing left....
