Clothing Hurts Kids

Okay, I've been doing this photoblog for my own private amusement, but now, for the first time, I wish I had an audience. Because the nefarious message on this t-shirt makes me want to stand up on a soapbox and shout, "People, are you trying to ruin our country?" Just yesterday my friend Ilona sent me an article stating that fully half of U.S. big-city students don't finish high school. Half! What sort of condition will this country be in thirty years from now if the electorate is too badly educated to cast an intelligent vote?
Not to mention that those who *do* graduate from high school are terribly under-educated by the standards of the rest of the developed world.So. Homework Hurts Trees: somebody's inane idea for a t-shirt. (Note that the store isn't burying it on a rack either.) I feel like mailing this photo to the NEA. The manufacturers of this t-shirt should be arrested for pandering ... to know-nothing youth culture. And subverting the 'green movement' while they're at it.
