Arab-American High School Students Mock 9/11 with Class Shirts [Guy Benson]

Revolting:

A group of Arab-American high schoolers have caused a brouhaha after officials confiscated class sweatshirts that conjure the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center..

The hoodies that got at least 9 Detroit-area juniors in hot water depict the students' graduation year — '11 — in a style similar to the Twin Towers with the school's "Thunderbird" mascot flying towards it. Below the image are the words "You can't bring us down."


A Dearborn Public Schools spokesman, David Mustonen, speaking to The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, called theEdsel Ford High School students' shirts "offensive" and in "poor taste."

"Poor taste" doesn't even begin to cover it, especially in light of the recent news out of greater Detroit. "Utterly callous and deeply troubling," may be closer to the mark.
