Nine high school students in Michigan were suspended for wearing these twin tower shirts.
Class of ‘11 means these were 7 or 8 year old kids in 2001. I would compare it to my understanding of the significance of the fall of the Berlin Wall without having a strong emotional tie to the actual event like we all do with 9-11
I find it amusing that all those people who were, like 18 and younger when 9/11 happened think it’s OK to make jokes about it. You don’t see your grandfathers making jokes about Pearl Harbor. The kids were just so removed from the whole thing, didn’t have friends that died, didn’t have the same experience that the rest of us adults did. So, yeah, as someone that feels OK about claiming 9/11 as something that happened to MY generation, I say “Too Soon”.
This is what happens when you don’t travel. If those little a-holes had been to Ground Zero, they wouldn’t think those shirts are so funny.
Well, it’s the Detroit area, so the kids probably don’t have parents. Surprised they can afford to buy sweatshirts since the auto-industry crash. Maybe they meant the pants bomber couldn’t bring them down? Yuk yuk, I’ll be here all week! Seriously though, it’s Dearborn which has like the highest concentration of Middle Easterners in the country, so probably not the best idea to draw attention to yourselves there. Just another turd to fling at my city.
still not as good as the I {plane} NY tshirt, which I hope to be able to wear someday outside of Somalia
