And How About This Other Shirt? The One That Says You Go to Grayson “High” School?. Reader “Zorel” points us to the story of a Georgia teenager who got into trouble for wearing a t-shirt to school that said “Hempstead, NY 516.” An administrator thought it was a pot reference.
According to the Associated Press, the student “was allowed to return to class after convincing school officials to do an Internet search, which confirmed that Hempstead was a real town.” [Hit & Run]
I wonder if those public school morons would hassle a student for reading a historical novel with a setting where hemp was common (such as the many novels about 18th century sailing warships).
