Schools no longer letting kids wear Guns N' Roses t-shirts

[themovieaddict.com]

I heard today that in post-9/11 schools are tightening up of course on security (especially with Columbine having happened as well), and a majority of schools across the nation will not allow T-shirts with the GN'R symbol (with guns) or the word "GUNS" on the shirt. So basically you can't wear any shirt except the AFD-cross (providing it doesn't say "GUNS N' ROSES" on the front) - if you go to school with the gun t-shirt or a UYI shirt you'll be forced to inside-out it or go home and change.

Maybe this is old news for some of you fans, I'm no longer in school, I was just wondering if any of you have experienced this. I only read about it today and found it humorous. I can't remember which site it was on, some random thing about school security and whatnot...

My nephew borrowed one of my old Guns shirts to wear to school (it must be cool now to wear vintage band shirts). It was the old Guns logo, the circle with the guns and roses. He had to turn the shirt inside out or have his mom bring him a new shirt because having a gun on his shirt was against school policy. I sometimes wonder as to why school are this way anymore but that would move that topic to the jungle.

When I was in high school (just a year ago) the school had no issue with GNR shirts... Yet they cracked down hard on the Norma Jean/Shotgun shirt halfway through the year (which was strange since some students had been wearing them regularly for over a year at that point)

I wear a GNR shirt to school all the time, and never has anyone stopped me or anything. I've seen a couple GN'R worn around in my school actually.

my school isnt going to do. that

[WeHeldTogether]

my school doesn't do that, everyone wears gnr shirts to be "cool."  and they have guns on them, yes.

All schools should have uniforms anyhow. ?School isn't a fashion show. ?1984 all the way!!!!

My last year in HS was 04 and I had my Guns N' Roses t-shirts a few times. But then again in two years a lot can change.

I'm glad that I am in college now. I have like 5 GNR shirts and I would be really upset if I was told to turn it inside out or change. It's just plain ridiculous.

Yep my little brother cant wear his GNR shirt with the old logo on it (with the guns), but he wears his UYI shirt. Really fucked up. I used to wear that shit all the time.

[Robman?]

screw that, i have a gnr shirt for every day of the school week: bullet logo(2002), chinese democracy dragon/dog (2002), european docklands shirt (2002)- all from gnronline, the UYI I shirt, and the star wild GNR 2006 European tour shirt from emp-online.com (that was a hard one to get, had to get it shipped to my grandmother in the UK and then to houston, tx)

If school kicks me out for wearing it i can sue, hey its a persons name

Like hell they should!.. This is United States Of America (for those who live here). The land where I have the freedom of choice. Not the land of "wear what I tell you too or You'll be suspended from school". (As long as my taxes pay the school boards salary, then kids will wear what ever the hell they want). Freedom of Choice all the way!!!

what they dont let us wear are those shirts with Scarface holdin a big ass gun.

I wear a velvet revolver shirt to school, i saw this one ?teacher looking at me suspiciously, i lahged to myself and walked on by, she probably thought it was a sexual metaphor.

Yea, I have the GNR use your illusion '92 tour shirt with the two guns, the blood circle, and the cross made out of skulls, and I wore that to school my whole senior year, and no one said anything.?   *EDIT* This is the one...
