When 8th grade Jared Marcum got dressed for school
this morning he says he had no idea that his pro-Second Amendment shirt
would initiate what he calls a fight over his First Amendment rights.
"I never thought it would go this far because
honestly I don't see a problem with this, there shouldn't be a problem
with this," Jared said.
It was the image of a gun printed on Jared's t-shirt
that sparked a dispute between a Logan Middle School teacher and Jared,
that ended with Jared suspended, arrested and facing two charges,
obstruction and disturbing the education process, on his otherwise
spotless record.
Jared's father Allen Lardieri says he's angry he had
to rush from work to pick his son up from jail over something he says
was blown way out of proportion.
"I don't' see how anybody would have an issue with a
hunting rifle and NRA put on a t-shirt, especially when policy doesn't
forbid it," Lardieri said.

I was going to suggest that when he returns to school he wear a t-shirt that read "I compete in an Olympic sport but can't talk about it in school", but I see it has been discontinued.
ReplyDeleteBut in Barney Frank's former district a student wore a "Support Sodomy Bend Over" shirt and was given a warm embrace.
