Syracuse teacher doesn't tolerate MFY shirt in class - http://www.syracuse.com/today/index.ssf/2009/09/baldwinsville_teacher_a_red_so.html

Um , the teacher is a prick....doing that to a 9 year old is a bit much.

The first thing I would have done as a parent would have been to request that my child be transferred to another class. After all, who knows how fairly a teacher that petty would grade my child's work?

True.

I concede the point.

I'm just in a prickish enough mood to find it amusing based on the subject matter.

Right idea, poor execution.

My kids routinely wear Mets t-shirts to school, even though we're in Phillies territory. If one of their teachers pulled a stunt like that I'd show them the Bronx.

Bam.

The teacher punished the wrong people. Clearly, child protective welfare should have been called. Giving your kid an MFY shirt is child abuse.

Didn't Andy Pettitte's kid wear a Mets hat at MFY Camp?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Better that than Andy Pettitte himself wearing a Mets cap in Mets camp and on the roster!

Yeah, Andy's kid was on a 'Mets' team in his local Little League and when he wore his hat (or shirt, or whatever) to a Yanqui practice George (or one of his suck-up underlings) threw a fit.

The MFYs are sending the kid some stuff for his troubles - http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2009/09/baldwinsville_fourth-grader_is.html

This was the leadoff story on yesterday's local news.

Fnerp.

They are both AL fans. So they root for teams that don't play real baseball anyway. I'd like to push them into a well.

[MFS62]

Instead of laughing at their classmate, the kids should agree that they all wear MFY gear to that teacher's class* on the same day.

* = I know, the terms "MFY gear" and "Class" don't belong in the same sentence, even using this meaning of "class".
