Towers shirts spell trouble

DEARBORN, Mich. – At least nine Detroit area high school juniors are in trouble for wearing sweat shirts bearing a design that evokes the terrorist attacks that destroyed the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers.

The boys are Arab-American, as are about half the school’s 1,700 students. They belong to the 2011 class at Edsel Ford High School.

On the shirts, the number 11 resembles two buildings, with the school’s “Thunderbird” mascot flying toward them. Printed beneath are the words, “You can’t bring us down.”
