Brockton High School has banned T-shirts with Sesame Street characters. But these are no regular pictures of Bert and Ernies.

 

On some, Oscar the Grouch emerges from his garbage can, wielding a 9 mm handgun. On others, Bert and Ernie are standing in a gang posture, armed with automatic weapons.

 

"We were amazed," said the school's principal, Susan Szachowicz. "You focus on the Sesame Street character. But the more we looked at it, the more we saw the things in it, the guns, the gang stuff."

 

There have only been a few shirts at school, but officials said students are being told to stop to stop wearing them because of the pro-gang message. School officials also said they violate the school dress policy.

 

Last week, Brockton was awarded $685,000 in state anti-gang funding.

No Shirt is good without Oscar and Captain C! (Cookie monster)

this is blasphemy.

 

worse than burning the flag.

I mean, half-militant, half-Asian shirt wearing big bird is awesome! He should be smoking a joint and not a cigarette, though.

 

And how can you NOT like Bert poppin' the forty back!?

 

This shirt shouldn't be banned, it should be MANDATORY.

My God, I have to get one of these.

This shirt might surpass the "Stop Snitchin'" t-shirts as my all-time favorites.

My favorite is still:
