Frosty The "Snow" Man
According to a letter to the editor writer in Lakeland, Florida, the Polk County School Board is getting out of hand:
Frosty the Snowman is the personification of cocaine!The Polk County School Board and Superintendent Gail McKinzie, in their infinite wisdom, have banned the wearing of Frosty or any other likeness of the lovable snowman.
...Watch out, Santa Claus may be next. He smokes a pipe and there just might be one person who says there is crack in that there pipe.
When does common sense take over from absurd political correctness?

Tony, we're still waiting.
Caveat: From one news report, it does sound like it's only Frosty the thug snowman they're banning in Polk County. I'm still against that!
But, here, all depictions of Frosty have been banned. Guess they won't be showing this seedy drug movie at the school assembly! Here's the version of Frosty that started the controversy:
And just a thought for the banners: There's no better way than a ban to make every kid out there want that shirt!
I'm reminded of a Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin and Hobbes, beset by snow goons, wonder how they killed Frosty. They believed that Frosty was stabbed with an icicle.
(Actually, he was locked in a greenhouse, but who cares?)

That doesn't look like an officially licensed Frosty on the shirt. And I'm not referring to the crabby expression.
Perhaps Polk County should submit itself for a psych eval.

Also, I hear that the Jolly Green Giant is code for a big fat doobie.
