Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher Haha,if that was my teacher Id get up and beat the bastard bloody.Id take the jailtime lol.
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher My history teacher made me take my Joey Harrington jersey off in his class last year, cuz it wasn't an Eagles jersey... teachers like that piss me off so much, they are insecure about themselves and feel that they need to appeal to the masses of their students to make them think they are cool.
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher <span style="font-family:Arial">If it were me, I'd get up and say "Fuck this" and go freaking beat him. I don't care, that's freaking ridiclous, wow.</span>
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher Jhair,did he claim that it was against dress code or did he flat out say,take it off because its not Eagles.
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher he was like I'm not letting you take part in our class today unless you take that jersey off now, with no humor whatsoever, he was being dead serious
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher Dang,if that was me I woulda asked for an explanation right there on the spot lol.If he said it was against dress code and I seen other kids wearing them all the time and not getting in trouble I would walk away from him while he was talking to me,find an administrator and tell them the teacher is disrupting my learning process Then again,im not afraid of any of my teaches (well um except for my Pre-Cal teacher lol) Heck,its my junior year and Ive already got one teacher suspended that eventually led to a firing Bring on #2 lol.
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher haha, I got average/shitty grades in that class and I wasn't planning on self-destructing myself.
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher If I were you, ida gone over to the head dude and been like "Fire that bitch, he's discriminating against us Lions fans"

Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher These things make me sick. The teacher should be fired. My PE teacher is a big Sux fan, and I wore an Indians cap to school one day in September during the Sux's collapse. He made me take off the cap for his class, and later in the day saw me, tried to pull it off my head.
Re: Fan 'Humiliated' by Teacher This is disgusting. As a future teacher this is wrong on so many levels. I don't care what team the student supports or what the kid did - nothing deserves that punishment. The teacher should be fired.
