On some, Oscar the Grouch emerges from his garbage can, wielding a 9 mm handgun. On others, Bert and Ernie are standing in a gang posture, armed with automatic weapons.

"We were amazed," said the school’s principal, Susan Szachowicz. "You focus on the Sesame Street character. But the more we looked at it, the more we saw the things in it, the guns, the gang stuff."

The New Jersey Case Was Heard By The U.S. Supreme Court

ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orange County teen won’t be taking her final exams until the rest of her classmates are out for the summer. Ashley Dameron wore a confederate t-shirt to school Monday and refused to change. Ashley’s principal said it was her attitude and not her t-shirt that got her suspended.

If you’re familiar with Gone With The Wind, you’ve already heard the names Ashley and Tara. But that was a work of fiction. It’s a fact that Ashley Dameron and her mother, Tara Hazelwood, had ancestors who fought in the civil war.

So, when Ashley put on a t-shirt and headed to Colonial High School, she didn’t see anything wrong with it.

"It stands for, like, your background. It stands for your background," she said.

"This is the land of the free. We have freedom of speech and, to a certain extent, freedom to wear what we want to wear," her mother said.

Principal Paul Mitchell did take issue with the t-shirt, as he has with other pieces of clothing students have worn in the past.

"What we’re trying to do in schools is have a standard that people are going to accept and what people won’t accept, and all feel comfortable," Mitchell said.

A TAXI driver has been banned from the road – for wearing a t-shirt showing the cross of St George.

Steve Buckley, 42, was waiting for a fare at the taxi rank at Blackpool Victoria Hospital when he was slapped with the shock prohibiiton order.

Council taxi bosses said he was decked out in a football strip which cabbies are banned from wearing.
But a furious Mr Buckley – who has been behind the wheel in Blackpool for 22 years – branded the ban a "farce" and insisted he has done nothing wrong.

The father-of-two, of Willowbank Avenue, South Shore, said: "It is a white t-shirt with no collar with the cross of St George on one corner and the word England written on the bottom left.

"It is nothing like a replica football shirt.

"I’m very patriotic and I feel proud to be English. But this council is making me feel ashamed to be English."

In September last year, taxi bosses and council chiefs agreed a dress code for the resort’s taxi drivers.

Wearing your faith isn’t new, but it certainly is becoming more popular as the mass marketing of Christianity gets bolder and more edgy than ever before.

That means T-shirts with religious messages are no longer just  white cotton with black lettering and stashed in the back of the closet.

Christian products are taking a page from successful marketing and popular slogans.

Here are a few examples of what $16 will buy you:

“Abreadcrumb & Fish”

“Jesus Christ (in a Pepsi script on a bottle top) Eternally Refreshing, Never Thirst Again”

“A Blood Donor Save My Life, Matthew 26:28”
