[Principal Turner encounters "DYKE" tshirt]
Miss Sawyer, you know we have a policy regarding wardrobe that's offensive or profane.
[points to her locker] Does that policy extend to lockers, 'cuz you haven't removed that yet have you?
You know the drill: go to the office and change or be sent home.
Ok, Mr. Turner, have you ever heard of Victor Jara? No? Um... he was this musician, right, and he fought injustice with his songs and when they broke his hands and when they taunted him, he just sang even louder.
Look, Peyton, oppression's not exactly a mystery to me, ok? I feel your pain.
No...no you don't. Ok, I'm sorry, but you don't know anything about my pain!
Maybe so but there are counselors you can talk to. Literature you can read.
Ok, I'm-I'm not gay, Mr. Turner!!! But you know what; if I was I wouldn't let other people tear me down because of it and I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for my answers in one of your pamphlets!
Policy is clear Peyton. Remove the shirt or be suspended.
Fine. [takes off her shirt, leaving her in a red bra and throws it at him] Can you hear my song now, Mr. Turner?
Enjoy your suspension, Miss Sawyer.
