That well runs dry pretty quickly, so we pivot to Current Events with a facebook post from an angry Mama Grizzly whose cubs were suspended for wearing Republican pants (jeans) and white supremacist shirts (workwear). This definitely happened.
We have a post here from a concerned mother named Angela Bailey and I saw this this morning and it went incredibly viral just from the time I saw it to the time of this recording.
Angela Bailey writes, Both my kids and another student were removed from class today and sent to the office for wearing Carhartt hoodies, high-vis construction hoodie, bootcut jeans, parentheses, without rips, and Romeo shoes.
The kids were told by staff at Bethel High School that their clothes were, quote, too Republican, quote, too country, quote, white supremacists, and, quote, racist.
I fail to see a problem with these clothes.
Meanwhile, other students wear spiked collars to school and dress as, quote, furries for attention or show too much skin.
I am genuinely confused.
Hashtag pissed off mama.
A bunch of, like, goths and furries and, like, these couple kids come up with some, you know, some workwear and they're like, whoa, the whole entire high school is nothing but goths and furries.
But these two come in dressed in flannels and work wear and they got us to go.
Yeah.
Real life.
The school has been fully joker-fied where, yeah, wearing like jelly bracelets on your wrist, that's normal to this school.
But dressing in jeans, that's actually twisted to this school.
Yeah, no thank you.
That's not okay.
You're here to learn, so be comfortable.
Come in your fur and your fishnets.
Yeah, this definitely happened though.
You know, you wear plaid and they send you to the office for being too Republican.
All the time.
Like, I just saw another article that was like, Wearing Carhartt makes you a basic bitch now.
And it was talking about hipsters wearing Carhartt.
And like, how are those two... I just saw the same... It was somebody who like, I wear workwear because I go to work, but now I see these kids wearing their Carhartt and it's all clean and they're wearing Balenciaga shoes with them.
So how are those two narratives supposedly happening at the same time?
Uh, yeah, I don't know, man.
I just, I think it's definitely white supremacist to wear jeans without rips.
Well, I don't know if you know what, uh, what, what are they called again?
What do they call them?
The shoes?
Romeo shoes.
Romeo shoes are actually shoes that have swastikas all over them.
That's what a Romeo shoe is.
Oh, my kid got sent to the office for dressing racist because he was wearing a belt.
He had his jeans up around his hips and they said, you're being white suprem- you're discriminating against us for not sagging your pants.
Yep.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah.
Solidarity.
Everyone's gotta sag.
Did you, uh, did you see any other racists when you were in high school than what they were wearing, Tony?
Not the high school I went to.
I saw somebody, when I was in high school, they were fucking racist there.
I saw, luckily they did get sent to the principal.
I saw one kid get sent... Got it?
I saw one kid get sent to the principal because he was wearing a hoodie without the hood up.
And they said, that's racist.
That's, yep.
You're not allowed to do that?
I remember a kid that got sent to the principal's office wearing rainbow sandals.
They knew instantly that you must be a racist if you're wearing rainbow sandals.
Did that really happen?
Did somebody go to... No.
I can see them being like, your sandals aren't allowed.
It was specifically rainbow though.
They're like, oh, you're not kicking out the people with slides on.
Everyone's got slides on.
I can't wear my rainbow sandals.
Yeah.
Well, you get sent to the, uh, it's not because like they're, they're specifically rainbow the way they look.
It's because they have that lifetime guarantee and they're like, they're made in America and the school doesn't like that.
They do hate that.
That makes sense.
They hate it when you're frugal and like, you don't spend beyond your means.
You know, if you were wearing like, You know, bling bling sandals or whatever, you're like on the honor roll.
If your toenails go out over the sandals, then you're good.
Hey, mister, turn that hat backwards before you catch the business end of the stick.
Uh, yeah, this is definitely something that happened, and we won't find out what really happened, uh, in a little bit at all.
Uh, let's read some comments here.
Um, Angela Bodemanico says, What?
The Evel they call good, and the good they will call Evel.
Dot dot.
Crazy.
Dot dot.
I would be in that school ASAP and explain to some folks.
Few things.
Dot dot.
Wow.
By the way, dot dot, teaching sex ed for 8th grade, normal, dot dot, wow.
Is that mentioned at all in this?
Like where they like, they wore their Carhartt hoodies and jeans to sex ed and got kicked out of sex ed.
Like they're just bringing that up in here.
Yeah, they refused to do gay sex on each other, so they were suspended.
