SCHENECTADY, N.Y. -- It's a T-shirt with a shocking message, telling kids to kill their teachers. One local lawmaker is looking to have the shirt banned from sale.

We’ve all heard of the  “keep calm carry on message,” but this T-shirt takes that to a new level, making some people anything but calm. The message on the shirt being sold online is shocking to some: “Keep Calm and Kill Your Teacher” 

“It’s completely offensive and it promotes hatred,” said Daniel Crowley, owner of Printz & Patternz.

Crowley owns a Schenectady-based shop that’s been printing tees for more than seven years. He said they have the final say on what appears on a customer’s shirt. 

“We pick and choose what we want to print, and we’ll tell the people we can’t print it due to trademark, copyright or slander,” said Crowley. 

Crowley said flat out if someone asked for it, he wouldn’t print it. 

“We want to give back to the community, we want to raise awareness for important causes, we want to collaborate with the local people who want to create their own designs on a T-shirt for a good cause,” said Crowley.

“The outcry against this has been growing,” said State Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara.

The shirt was recently brought to the attention of Santabarbara by local parents and teachers. 

“With a little bit of Googling it was amazing and I was shocked to see what I could find very easily just messages and images,” said Santabarbara. 

This week, Santabarbara said he’s contacted local school districts warning them of its message as well as the online realtors, asking them to take it down, one of them was Amazon.

“Certainly when children are exposed to messages like this it instills fear, it doesn’t help to create a positive learning environment,” said Santabarbara. 

He, along with Crowley, said there are hoping retailers will take their advice.   

“You don’t have to wear that shirt, you can wear a P&P shirt you can wear a Schenectady, New York shirt," said Crowley.

“In recent times we’ve seen violence in our streets, we are trying to come together as a community and promote a message of non violence,” said Santabarbara. 

Assemblyman Santabarbara has yet to hear back from Amazon. He said he will be following up with them along with the other websites as well as contacting more schools in his district. 

One of the other websites have issued an apology saying they have removed all assassination classroom T-shirts from their online store.
