Also true.
But is this really harassment? Would it be harassment if I wore a shirt that said "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully?" (randomly grabbed Dawkins quote)
Is this a threat?
I imagine whether it was would depend on contextual factors. However, I have trouble seeing it. This is a Chicago school, not rural Oklahoma, and I doubt that a few students wearing these shirts credibly projects the possibility of violence. Had I been at that school I would have hated them, but I would not have felt unsafe.
D.A.R.E. shirts were the most sought after things when I was in High School, if you were a pothead.
It was pretty silly.
To the extent that this is true it strikes me as bad.
But again, I don't think that the law speaks univocally here.

The source code for the extension can be found here.
My cd is kind of old, and the sound quality is actually sort of crap.
Also, I'd like to find a copy that has the movie version of Empty Spaces in addition to the album version.
It comes close, though. And I think it's very believable that students would have felt harassed and unsafe with classmates wearing those shirts. I'd be uncomfortable, and I'm quite straight.
Way to be a gay basher.
As far as the shirt thing it doesn't say they were threatened with disciplinary action from what I saw, so I don't think it's that big a deal, they were asked to put something over it because it wouldn't be conducive to a learning environment. If they tried to suspend them I might have an issue with it.

Man.
As a young pissed off Canadian exile, the Texas pledge infuriated me for years.
Harassed? Maybe. Although the criteria for being harassed are more substantial than the criteria for just feeling harassed.
Unsafe? Extremely doubtful.
Eye of the beholder. Given the timing, and that it was probably Leviticus 20:13 since that will fit on a t-shirt, then it's not an unreasonable assumption. If you bring a tee-shirt calling for gays to be killed during an anti-gay bullying event, it does send a certain message.
wtf violence
Also, it is annoying when straight people crash gay parties, because just once and a while it's nice to be able to walk up to a random guy and hit on him without having to worry whether he's actually gay or not.
Really?
I remember having to sing Texas our Texas and the National Anthem before school once a week and recite the Pledge of Allegiance every day when I was in gradeschool but I literally had no idea there was a Texas state pledge until this instant
that's kind of interesting, I like the idea
waiting for goty though

I didn't have much trouble finding ammo, I had trouble carrying it, because having ammo have weight gets way more frustrating than I thought it would. Have you gotten to the gun runners vendortron? I think he has a ton of ammo for sale and isn't that far into the game.

How could it ever be a bad thing?
The legal definition cannot simply be the eye of the beholder. Some beholders are batshit crazy. As I understand, laws like this generally key to what a reasonable person would think or feel in such-and-such a situation. The reasonable qualifier is important here.
Leviticus sends the message that you are a hateful goose, but it doesn't send the message "I'm going to beat the shit out of you" unless several other conditions are met. Otherwise I would be afraid to stand next to Jim DeMint. I'm not, of course, I just hate him.
I should add that he drunkenly shoved me and called my girlfriend a whore to my face so he was asking for it
also i wasn't crashing a party, i was invited by the dudes who threw it
cause they were friends with my girlfriend and were all "hey bring your boyfriend along"
or install a mod that makes ammo not retarded.
Like I made headshots not retarded and aiming not retarded.
mmm I didn't eat the healthiest this week but I will take that as okay for the busiest week of the entire semester

I should have, I'm so sick of crippling bugs like quest givers refusing to talk to me because I decided to have creatures fight in the arena and they never went hostile against each other.

Based on the fact that there was no violence; based on the fact that it was only a tiny minority of students wearing the shirt; based on the fact that it was during a gay support week; based on the fact that presumably violence would have been strictly sanctioned by the school administration; based on the fact that a Chicago school is likely closer to gay-friendly than to Christian fundamentalist; and so on.
Elementary school and middle school they made us say it every day.
I mostly just said stuff like, "I pledge to say blah blah blah, and blah blah blah, this is dumb, blah blah blah." 'cause the teachers would give you grief if you didn't say it, but in a room of thirty kids as long as you were standing and moving your mouth you could say whatever you wanted pretty much.
Eventually I got over being pissed about living here.
But yeah, every day. Spring Independent School district.
