Homophobia...another type of stupid. In this case, really dangerous stupid.
Just listen to this kid.
Now kid, listen to me.
You may be young, and misinformed, but stupid is like a cold. I know you didn't catch it on purpose, but don't go sneezing on people at the mall. Whoever told you this ridiculous shit should be held down and slapped repeatedly, but all I can do now is try to undo the stupid you're tossing around.
1. Your t-shirts are not protected speech in the school. I could distribute t-shirts to students that say "Christianity is a dangerous cult". I could say (like you do), that if you find my shirts offensive, you're doing something wrong. You'd be all over the school to have them removed, and you'd win, because the shirts could be seen as disruptive to the school environment.
2. The Constitution is NOT a Christian document. Period. This rumor has been debunked repeatedly. No reference to God, Wotan, Mithras, Set, or any other invisible friend anywhere in the document. The First Amendment begins with the specific prohibition of forcing a particular religion on the citizenry. You cannot use the law-making and law-enforcing powers granted by the people to their government to coerce people into accepting your religious beliefs. That's what England (and other European countries) had been doing, leading to the American colonies being full of religious refugees.
3. You suck at math. 3% LGBT? Try closer to 10%. 95% believe in the Christian God? Since 15% don't believe in any gods, you're a little off.
4. "A lawyer's going to beat out anything a principle says"? Apparently you don't know many lawyers. Here's how it works. OJ's lawyers claimed he was innocent. Ken Lay's lawyers said he was innocent. Lawyers often argue totally invalid positions because that's what they are paid to do. Thinking that the support of a lawyer validates your position is plain stupid. I bet you think the waitress likes you when she smiles, too.
5. You actually seem to think that you're smart. But parroting other people's stupid without thinking about it is, well, stupid.
