Student wins Anti-Bush t-shirt battle |
Student wins T-shirt battle
http://www.wavy.com/Global/story.asp?S=42393
LANSDALE, Pa. A Pennsylvania student is off the hook after the American Civil
Liberties Union defended his right to wear a political T-shirt to school.
Chris Schiano's (skee-AH'-nohz) T-shirt said "International Terrorist" and
had a picture of President Bush.

A security guard at his high school north of Philadelphia told him to take
it off. He refused. Schiano says he's well versed in the First Amendment.
He says he "knew right off they had no legal footing to stand on."
The principal says after hearing from the ACLU, school officials realized
that the shirt, while potentially offensive, didn't violate the school's dress
code. It had no references to sex, drugs, ethnic intimidation or explicit language.
Schiano says he's now wearing the shirt to school and no one's given him a
hard time.

Yes, it is.
The First Amendment is a great thing.
Conservatives once again sniff their arses and admit defeat.
Oh, and how crazy is O'Really going to go with the American Civil Liberties
Union being the ones who got this kid his freedoms?????

Long live free speech!

language.
When I was in high school, a classmate wore a "Sex and drugs and rock 'n
roll" t-shirt. Nobody batted an eye.

1st Amendment wins again.
But my question is this Tuttle, are you happy for Chris because his 1st
amendment rights were upheld or because of the content of his shirt?
