Nova Scotia Teen in Trouble for Wearing ‘Life is Wasted Without Jesus’ Shirt

14. UPDATE FROM Nova Scotia news today...

'Jesus' T-shirt student taken out of school by dad
Refused to take part in religious tolerance sessions

A Nova Scotia student suspended from classes for five days for wearing a T-shirt with the slogan "Life Is Wasted Without Jesus" returned to school today wearing the same garment, but he was quickly taken home by his father.

William Swinimer, who's in Grade 12, was scheduled to attend a session for all students on how to express their beliefs in a way that is respectful to all.

But John Swinimer said he wants Forest Heights Community School in Chester Basin, Lunenburg County, to only teach the basic courses, leaving religion out of it.

John Swinimer said his son will not return to school until it gets back to teaching the basics. (CBC)
"He will not attend this school unless they are having reading, writing and arithmetic — good old-fashioned academics," he said, waving a New Testament bible. "When they're having forums, when they're having other extra-curricular activity, he will not attend that school."

Students said William Swinimer has been preaching and making them feel uncomfortable, and the shirt was the last straw so they complained.

This kid and his father seem like pretty intolerant closed minded Christians to me!!! What do you all think?
