Florida's Oswego High School suspended two students and forced about 50 others to turn their shirts inside out after they all wore an anti-drunk driving T-shirt to school. The shirt read "Seniors .08" on the front and "Don't blow It" on the back. They say they came up with the idea after a drunken crash that killed five local teens. But school officials say they don't believe the shirts warn against driving drunk. "I think it could be interpreted as promoting drinking," said Principal Mike Wayne.
