Discount clothing retailer Forever 21 pulled a new brand of t-shirts which carry the text on the front stating 'Allergic to Algebra' after the company posted it for sale online.

The T-shirt was quickly retired after a few media posts declared the shirts offensive. The shirts were only being offered as girl's clothing

The anti-learning messages however are published through Forever 21's website including "School is Fun...When It's Over' and "I (Heart) School..Not".

The discovery comes a few weeks after J.C Penney pulled similar t-shirts with the phrase "I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me."
