[quote=KION 46 News]SOQUEL, Calif. - Students banned from a Central Coast school for wearing a white t-shirt. On Wednesday, Soquel High School suspended at least two students. The students say it's because of allegations, they're part of a white supremacist group. "All the girls wore pink, all the sports guys wore tank tops," says Soquel High Senior Mikey Donnelly. "We were all going to wear white so that was the plan. Just wear white t-shirts to identify ourselves and look back and say that was our group of friends right there." Soquel High Senior Mikey Donnelly wore a white t-shirt for his senior class photo Tuesday. About 10 of his friends did the same. That decision may seem harmless. But Soquel High suspended Donnelly for three days because of it. Donnelly said the school told him people were offended and intimidated by his group, claiming they're a white supremacist gang. "I do think this is BS," says Donnelly. "I'm not a white supremacist in any way shape or form. If I did say white power, I would probably say it just as much as I say black power." He's not the only one upset. "I feel disrespected," says Soquel High Senior David Mine. Mine also wore a white t-shirt and was also suspended. He's missing out on finals and that could jeopardize his graduation. "I'm Asian," says Mine. "I don't see how I can be a white supremacist. I'm against it completely." Soquel High Principal Ken Lawrence-Emanuel was very tight-lipped about it, saying students' punishments are confidential. But told me the school got several complaints about a white pride group on campus. "Safety is always first at Soquel High," says Lawrence-Emanuel. "We want to make sure we do everything we can to keep people from feeling and being safe on campus." But, the students don't agree and are ready to fight it. "It's a pretty bad feeling to be labeled something you're not," says Donnelly. Donnelly said nobody's ever accused him of being a white supremacist before and plans on appealing the schools decision. He'll even take it to court if he needs to.[/quote] [quote]"I'm Asian," says Mine.

What shitty administration
Great job completely over stepping political correctness again, America.
I am a green supremacist. :frog:
Oh good grief. This... I don't even know.
Wow, the fucking school system these days.
Wow guess I would have been suspended if I went to this school. Like, did someone actually complain? Or is this some stupid school policy. This is discriminatory against white t-shirt wearers.
Oh god I wore a black T-Shirt today. Does that mean I'm a black supremacist?

Why is it alright for them to proclaim black power and brown power but not for us to do the same for white power? People are trying to be too fucking politically correct these days. And, asides from being annoying, it's really just hurting us as a society more than it's helping.
What the hell, the more I think about it, the less sense it makes.
"I TOLD you we should have gone with the Hawaiian shirts! But 'nooo, they're too TACKY. Let's go with some [i]nice, plain, white t-shirts[/i]. Well look where we are now, man."
Holy fuck, soon my very exsistance will mean I'm a racist.
I'm wearing a gray hoodie right now. Dead person power yo.
And Facepunch complained about TH89.
....This...is retarded.

[QUOTE=Swilly;30086141]No what goes with it is the fact that the kid is Asian.[/QUOTE] David Mine is. I was talking about Donnelly.
this is probably a fake story like that one time the kids where suspended for having t-shirts with the american flag on it that wasn't even close to the whole truth and this also sounds like a load of bullshit designed to get a rise out of people peeved off about political correctness judging by the reactions in this thread, it's extremely effective [editline]27th May 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;30086062] This highlights the hypocrisy of the issue PERFECTLY.

"Safety is always first at Soquel High," says Lawrence-Emanuel. "We want to make sure we do everything we can to keep people from feeling and being safe on campus." Good work so far.
My first thought was "there has got to be more to this". Then I saw this [quote] "I'm Asian," says Mine. "I don't see how I can be a white supremacist. I'm against it completely."[/quote] And I'm not sure what to believe any more. I'm going with TIP's explanation, I think this must be one of those cases where there's some hidden bullshit that goes on.
-snoop-

Shit like this gets my blood pressure up.
