Why don't you just put your white hood on and set them on fire, caroljo??? They're damned if they don't show sorrow over 9-11 and damned if they do. And you do realize that every person of Middle Eastern descent is not even Muslim, right???

"You can't bring us down?" That's offensive?
Stop being a racist douche.

It would depend on the T-Shirt. If it is a memorial Tee, then your probably being an ass.

I think they should be severely punished by persons wearing t-shirts that display huge American flags with crosses superimposed on them. Some sort of hood or armband would be a nice touch.

Didn't you guys know? Brown people are unable to show any emotion other than satisfaction at making white people piss their pants.
This is almost a trifecta, don't you think? It's on RR, which already makes it loony fundie, it's obviously racist, and "...you have to believe they did this on purpose to get a response out of it," is pretty much a conspiracy.

I can imagine they wore that shirt as a sign of their sorrow over the 9/11 tragedy and to distance themselves from people who (ab)use their religion to commit atrocities. Just like you'd try to distance yourself from people who did terrible things in the name of YOUR religion... Oh wait, RR, nvm.

Wow, the fundies in that thread are actually saying they 'need more information' in order to make an informed judgement on the situation.

Hey caroljo, not all Muslims are Arabs and not all Arabs are Muslims.

But if they were white students it would be OK? You should be punished.

Oh please, the t-shirt was a statement of defiance against terrorists that want to make Americans cower in fear. If this was done by a right wing nuthub, like WND, these shirts would have sold out ages ago.

Some are withholding judgement pending more evidence. Others on the other hand are operating on the basis of deciding what conclusion they want to eventually reach prior to looking at it.
I wonder where they got that habit from?
Oh, and as far as the ages of the students go:

I've seen the T-shirts, they were for the 2011 graduating class (I believe) so it wasn't just the Muslim students wearing them. Basically the shirt was an 11 made out like two buildings with the school hawk flying into them.
DEARBORN, Michigan — At least nine Detroit area high school juniors are in trouble for wearing sweat shirts bearing a design that evokes the terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
Dearborn Public Schools spokesman David Mustonen has told The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press that the shirts the boys wore to Edsel Ford High School on Monday are "offensive" an More..d in "poor taste."
The boys are Arab-American, as are about half the school's 1,700 students.
They belong to the 2011 class. On the shirts, the number 11 resembles two buildings, with the school's "Thunderbird" mascot flying toward them. Printed beneath the image are the words, "You can't bring us down."

I have not found anything on the Internet that explains the students thoughts behind this.

Just because they're of Arab descent, doesn't mean they're Muslim.

no-one has the right NOT to be offended.
Fuck, us gays have to put up with it continuously from arseholes like this!

Are they memorial t-shirts or are they trying to make a joke out of the incident?
EDIT: Thanks for the pic Antichrist. I personally feel that the design's in somewhat poor taste, but I don't feel that any student should be punished for wearing them.

The shirts looked patriotic to me (maybe it was the whole "you can't bring us down" message.) I note that some of the posters agreed with me, and most seem to have actually thought about it, at least a bit. RR demonstrating critical thinking: A rare event! RR posters deciding something is offensive just because it's done by scary brown people: not so rare.
More RSTDT that FSTDT though.

Here's a link to the news article that the poster is referring to.
