Student Wins Battle To Wear Anti-Bush T-Shirt At School

A Pennsylvania student is off the hook after the American Civil Liberties Union defended his right to wear a political T-shirt to school.

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.

1. Say, does anybody remember..

all the times that liberals tried to make conservative high-school students stop wearing anti-Clinton Tshirts back in the 90s?

Yeah, neither do I.

2. Mandatory First Amendment awareness would be nice.

3. Good for this kid..

"Chris Schiano's T-shirt said "International Terrorist" and had a picture of President Bush."

4. Has fatboy OxyRush tried to use the "You know what ACLU stands

for? All Criminals Love Us!" line lately?

I mean, since it has defended him, that definition is now valid . . .

5. Sad to hear...

the term "battle" used in regards to a child wearing an anti-Bush tee-shirt to school. How sad indeed.
