http://www.cnn.com/2004/EDUCATION/05/10/life.student.reut/index.htmlDETROIT, Michigan (Reuters) -- A Michigan school has dropped its suspension of a student who used a T-shirt to make a political statement, the second test of student free speech rights in the state in less than a year, the American Civil Liberties Union said Monday.
The ACLU had threatened to file a lawsuit claiming that the constitutional rights of Timothy Gies, a senior at Bay City Central High School, were violated last month when he was suspended for wearing a T-shirt with a scarlet letter A and the international symbol for anarchy.(snip)
Gies had previously been barred from wearing peace signs, upside-down American flags and a sweatshirt with an anti-war quote from Albert Einstein.:thumbsup: :) :D :7 B-) :hi:
Congratulations, Timothy! Freedom of Speech ROCKS!
