[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a t-shirt or a sweatshirt. You people are insane. And we wonder why kids today have so much anxiety....[/quote]

You are being a very literal thinker. Do you understand how paramount exclusion and inclusion are in middle school? Do you understand that there is no need to give out t-shirts which point out who was included? Sure kids already hear talk about it, but now you have a visual reminder. This is not about protecting special snowflakes. it is about basic human decency. You may not get it until one day you have your own life lesson with your own kid and suddenly it dawns on you that you were ignorant.[/quote]

I'm a different poster, and someone who grew up in NY where bar/bat mitzvah t-shirts were very common.  Kids wore them to school a couple of times, then made them their gym t-shirt or something.  Some kids had a dozen, some kids had one or two.  It was no big deal. Sometimes kids had a t-shirt from a kid's bar mitzvah and nobody liked that kid anyway.  This is really not a big deal. Parents need to teach their kids not to see everything as a personal slight.  Everyone can't be invited to everything.[/quote]
