"School officials had defended their actions in court, saying the shirt would contribute to a "hostile learning environment" and would make students feel insecure in school, noting that about 33 percent of the high school's students are of Hispanic descent. They also said the school had been the site of recent student walkouts and sit-ins to protest Trump's immigration policies."

Apparently there was no concern that the anti-Trump walkouts might make anyone uneasy, such as the kid who later tried to exercise HIS rights by wearing the pro-Trump shirt.

Some schools avoid this kind of problem either by requiring uniforms or by banning ANY clothing that bears any slogan or image other than the manufacturer’s logo.

“Can you imagine your son or daughter being forced to look at tee shirts with images of Obama or Hillary, in addition to keeping his/her mouth shut all day?”

Happens every day, Bud - and without a peep from school administrators. Whether it be a Che Guevara shirt, a gay pride shirt or pictures of Obama and/or Hillary in the principal’s office (all of which have happened and continue to), as a rule, only leftist students’ rights are protected in most of our failing public schools. Thank God all of my kids are now out of high school!

IT’S A WIN.

If the principal gets mad about this we’ll sue again.

In my day we weren’t allowed to have pictures or writing on clothing.
And violators of the dress code were usually sent home for t-shirts with sexually suggestive slogans which were pretty much like the ones which caused the policy to be instituted.

The taxpayers through the schoolboard elect the administration.
The taxpayers earned what they got.

HERE is the real crime. a Third of the students are questionable as to their right to even be in this country.

YOUR tax dollars are paying for this, and your kids & grandkids are getting their ‘education’ on a slower track because everything has to be said 2 times, in 2 languages...with a 2nd teacher in the room—the ESL teacher.

If a student there wore a t shirt with a Mexican fag on it, the school would give the student an A plus plus...I’m glad the student sued...

GOOD!!!!!! Sue the scrool (Rush ™️) districts till they are out of money.

And when the Bill gets to the Taxpayers it should piss them off so bad they STOP FUNDING THESE JACKA$$E$ AND SHUT THEM DOWN!!!

Parents- Teach Your Children at HOME.

This will fix many things. Real Parents will teach children properly and that part of America will thrive. The commies will coddle and tell children to sponge off others. Then Natural Selection will prevail and commies will become an extinct subspecies.

BONUS- This solves a few other problems, no more: NEA,PBS and several others as well.

They are not drug dealers, they are undocumented Pharmacists. They decided to compete with Walgreens, CVS and RiteAid. 😀

the school agreed to pay $25,000 for his legal fees and have its principal write him an apology.

When a school district is happy to spend a mere $25,000 for the priviledge of deftrroying yout rights!

Should have been $25,000,000!

I agree the Kid should have been paid $25K also.

The POS principle should have been shot IMO.

I wonder if my old Pink Floyd t-shirt would get me suspended today?

Not if your old Floyd t-shirt depicted a 'flying pig' with Rog Waters ranting and raving incoherently against Zionists as well as the capitalist system which made him rich and famous ...
