Well, a bit off topic but I'll glady respond to this. Not sure I have to publicly "justify" visible ink to anyone. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I teach my students to think for themselves. My job is to teach them to think critically and consider all sides of an issue before deciding. I ask them to do their own research and not trust the views of everyone they see or hear. But yes, I see absolutely no problem with a person displaying a tattoo and I am glad I live in a country that gives us that right. But thank you for your moral judgement. I think I might stop on the way home from school and get some new ink, "Live and Let Live." I know, crazy hippie type.....[/QUOTE]
Crazy hippie type? Hardly. All the hippie types I grew up with snapped out of it.
I find it ironic that you claim teach your students to think for themselves and consider all sides...(yada yada), yet decide that people who don't agree with you are wrong.
Not sure what or where you teach, but just so you know I don't think getting an extreme tattoo is really included in the Bill of Rights.
