Backpack too racy for elementary school

Fred Ferrer is challenging the Richey Elementary public school. He was told his sons backpack should not be allowed in elementary school. The backpack has a bikini wearing woman "showing too much cleavage." The principle claims the images portrayed on the backpack are too graphic for the elementary setting. The school has some preschoolers as young as 3 attending. The son, Quentin Ferrer, has used the very same backpack for the previous two years. Just this year another parent saw the backpack and notified the secretary for the school. Now the student was threatened to be suspended, but a compromise was soon followed. He could bring the backpack to school, but once there empty it out and carry the books to class, leaving the backpack in the office. He could pick it up at the end of the day.

This whole scenario is all Freedom of Speech/Expression. To wear what you want is completely up to you, until others rights are infringed upon. Nobody should care what the backpack was showing. The cleavage shown is exactly the same as cartoons Betty Boop and others. The only difference was the person. For mothers to be offended by another students backpack is clearly an overreaction. Their child sees similar images, if not more vulgar, everyday on television. It all depends on whose point of view you look at. I feel that the Ferrer's are perfectly right in their decision to move this to court. His son should not have to go through this because of a backpack with an "inappropriate picture"
