Around 1990 or '91 I got sent home for wearing a ‘Bart Simpson: Underacheiver “And Proud of it Man!”’ t-shirt my mom bought me. I still remember the exact words for the suspension. It was for expressing myself in a manner ‘contrary to the goals statement of the Public School Board’. Total BS, as I was neither an underacheiver nor was I proud of it - it was a pop culture reference FFS! Incidentally, this was around the time I stopped respecting school administration and began my slide into scholastic apathy. Funny how that works.
