Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Learning is supposed to be hard. The difficulty is not a flaw in the process, it is the process, and handing a student a machine that skips it turns out someone who can produce an answer but cannot retrace one, and the teacher in the tee watched a whole section prove it on the midterm. Students who studied with a general chatbot scored lower than the ones who did the work. This tee is the syllabus's first line.

Wear it to the faculty meeting, the parent conference, the tutoring center, the education conference, and the family dinner where a relative says kids should learn to use the tools. It is a strong gift for a teacher, a tutor, a professor who banned it, and the friend who did the reading.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and three lines that read across a department meeting about the midterm. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the syllabus entry on our anti-AI movement page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

Do students really score lower with chatbots? In the studies that compared them, yes. The teacher wearing it saw it on the midterm.

Would a department order these for the conference? Departments do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do teachers pick? Black and Bay. Ivory for the conference.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
