Another student penalized for pro-life shirt -
As WorldNetDaily reported last week, a principal at a junior high school in Pennsylvania barred a T-shirt with the same message, arguing that it was the equivalent of wearing a swastika to school. The principal later reversed his decision after a nonprofit legal group explained the student's First Amendment rights and threatened a lawsuit.


  • Do you wear religious or political clothes? Why or why not? Do you think Christians should "billboard" Jesus with their apparel? Explain. What are the pro's and con's of it?

  • What are some examples of a good cause with the wrong words? What are some examples of a good cause with the right word?

  • Jesus said we are to be lights in the world (Matthew 5:14-16). What do you think this means? Read verse 16. What is it that the world is to see from us? Good works or good T-shirts? What's the bottom line then? Don't wear the Christian paraphernalia if you don't have the lifestyle to back it up. Your actions speak louder than any words on a T-shirt ever could.
