My son in 4th grade told me that the librarian was wearing the t-shirt with the message “Everybody knows I love lesbians”. What do you think about the dress code in elementary schools? Is that ok ?

| Was the librarian a man or a woman? Gross either way. |
| Find a new school, this one isn’t professional. |

| Slogan shirts are against our dress code. |
| This is something you call the school about if it bothers you OP. It's a private school, if you have enough money to donate you can make any problems go away. |
My kids' public schools have a dress code that includes no provocative slogans on T-shirts. Of course, they don't always enforce the dress code...
I don't think this is appropriate, particularly in elementary school. |

I’m a gay woman with a child and I think it’s inappropriate. Did he definitely read it correctly? I’m wondering if it was a play on words?
I’d fact check the info. |
I am a religious conservative. I think marriage should only be between a man and a woman and that homosexuality in a sin. But I also believe in freedom of assembly and we are not the taliban beating people into submission on the streets. My coworkers, customers (if I had a business), employees of places I do business with, teachers, students, etc, their sexuality is not my business day to day. One, people who call themselves "lesbians" exist. That librarian "loves" them. I guess that is a fact in his or her life, that us between him or her and God. Two, the "word" lesbian isn't a vulgarity in the English language so kids seeing it is not a problem. If they have a question about a word they can ask someone about it. Their parents can tell their kids to run unfamiliar words by them only, but that is up to them. |
I commend you for your open mind, but I still don't think sexual-adjacent terms should be bandied about in primary school. And lesbian is such a term. I'd feel differently if this was secondary school. |
It is correct information. I crossed checked. She always bring provocative t-shirts. Another time she was wearing t-shirt with two women kissing. |
Do any of the students there have lesbian mothers? The term is not offensive in itself. |
| Are we sure it didn’t say “librarians” or something? Young kids aren’t really the most reliable. How have you “cross checked”? Wouldn’t you put in your op if YOU had seen the shirt? Getting anti lgbtq rage bait vibes. |
