School nixes boy's 'Fake News' T-shirt on field trip to CNN

It goes both ways, in my opinion they should let this kid wear the shirt. Maybe it will spark a discussion.

My first grade class was the first year my school system integrated. We still had duck and cover drills. During my elementary school years I witnessed riots at the Democratic National Convention, freedom marches, race riots, draft card and bra burning rallies on TV. I saw SDS rallies on a local college campus. In middle school it was Watergate and the end of the Vietnam War. We discussed these things in our family. It is even more impossible to shield kids from politics now.

Wearing a T-shirt to CNN that sports a common complaint about CNN is more in the humor category. If the counter example was about posing with Trump with an "Orange Emperor" shirt it would be a better analogy.

Incorrect, as usual when evaluating my points. Both were political statements by children.

So you think making fun of CNN is a "political statement"?

That means that you admit that CNN is a political entity.
