Because this kid wasn't arrested while the other one was.

Also which freedom is gun-kid having revoked?

Freedom of expression.

Freedom of expression.

So you'd have been cool with Ahmed sending in a yearbook pic of him sporting an Kalashnikov, ISIS beater, standing behind an ISIS flag?

Not even close to the same. Isis is a Islamic Terrorist organization.

This guy looks like Captain America.

And that means 'Freedom of Expression" is out?

He looks like a douche (which is fine, as he has the right to look like a douche), the pic broke school yearbook pic guidelines though.

When you say freedom of expression are you basically saying freedom of speech?

Just because you want to express yourself in a certain way doesn't mean the school needs to endorse it by allowing it in their yearbook.

So you jumping from one debate to another because Pym was kicking your logic out the window?

He looks like Captain America, I didn't know that was douchy..or are you only a fan of Cap in the movies? In real life it's uncool?

Ah no. I still am saying the same thing pretty much. Just relating it to you in a different manner.

The school is perfectly okay rejecting pictures that it deems inappropriate. Just like it could reject a picture of him holding a Jack Daniels bottle or they were holding a burning american flag. It sucks for the person giving the picture but it didn't violate their freedom of speech.

I don't see Captain America, I see a try-hard douche. But our opinions of him looking badass or douchy are irrelevant. Schools have guidelines for yearbook pics; really that simple.

The only difference between that pic and a pic of cap would be one has a shield. The other a gun.😂 Otherwise it is the same representation of America. Something you apparently despise for unknown reasons.

The symbolism of Caps "Weapon" being a shield is pretty important and essential to the character and the understanding of what Caps America stands for.

Also im pretty sure Cap doesn't wear a wife beater.

Literally there is nothing wrong with what he did, he was sporting the American flag and the Second Amendment..

Are you alleging that this was worn by Captain America himself?

No but it's something that could be worn, and nothing wrong with it. Tank Tops are apart of American Culture.

You're confusing me thinking he looks like a douche with being "wrong". No, it's not wrong in the general sense, as I said, he's free to look like a douche all he likes.

Okay, but he's not dressed as Captain America, that's just nonsense.

At any rate, no one is saying that he can't wear that, it's perfectly fine, but the high school yearbook doesn't need to print it.

I never said he was. But its very similar..so my point stands.

So what makes him look like a douche, but not Captain America, its the same concept.

America, Freedoms and all that good stuff.
