And keep your political stunts out of my public school district.
A 5th grader in CO interpreted a school directive to wear red, white and blue to show your patriotism (which I admit is dumb) as an opportunity to wear a shirt reading "Obama: a terrorist's best friend" (I am spotting him the colon, which appears to be absent from the actual shirt). He was sent home. The school says he was asked to take it off, but also that he was sent home for "disobedience" and not the shirt per se. I mean, honestly, they probably sent him home for the shirt. And bully for them.
Meanwhile, the kid's crazy dad is going to sue. Because of the First Amendment doncha know. His dad who regularly protests outside of Planned Parenthood doctors' homes, taking his young children with him and claiming it to be "God's work." No, you're not an instigator at all, guy. No inflammatory political stunts for you.
Your kid doesn't get to wear whatever he wants to at school. And while I've no doubt that in your house suggesting that a man running for the most high profile public service job in the nation is aiding terrorists can, in fact, be the same as demonstrating one's patriotism, that is not how most of the normal people view it. Most of the normal people think you are an asshole. And that you are raising your 11 yr old kid to be an asshole.
Your kid's shirt is racist. Further, your kid's shirt does not participate in any good faith understanding of an assignment to wear something red, white, and blue to show patriotism. Moreover, your remark that your kid's public school is full of "liberal loons" is truly something. Clearly, you are not hoping that the public school system be free of political ideology, otherwise you wouldn't send your kid to school dressed like an ideologue. Quit hijacking the public education space with your fringe positions and antagonistic stance. Some of us are here to learn.
