suing the school

[bennytheberry]

Someone in my school decided that he would sue the school in federal court because one of the administrators told him to turn a shirt inside out that said something along the lines of 'the liscence muslims use to kill americans'

do you guys think he'll win or lose?

i think he will lose because of freedom of speech

It's against the Dress Code, I'm assuming. The administrators had every right to tell him to turn it inside out. The student will lose.

+1 to the thread above he will lose and look like a complete asshole and probably will have to move out of the area no joke.


woot! just got forum addict rank! excited baby!

there isn't really a dress code other then don't wear spaghetti straps, no cleavage, and skirts past mid thigh.

He will loose. He can't afford to stay in court too long. He doesn't have a good enough lawyer, and they will trust the teacher way more then him.

 

[bennytheberry]

he is redneck i am suprised he has the 2k he spent already

It was the teachers right to tell him to turn it inside out if it might be offensive to a group of people. He'll lose.

It's possible he'll win. Tinker vs. Des Moines ruled that students do not "shed their constitutional rights when they enter the schoolhouse door." I doubt he'd be suing unless his lawyer had a reasonable basis on which to sue, but that doesn't mean he'll win.

I agree with dub he is in the wrong and he will lose

what a sad person having that on his shirt to hope he gets a good beating.

He will lose. He sounds like a real dick. Its the teachers jobs to make students follow the dress code and such, its not as though making kids turn their shirts inside out is their dream jobs. Then to go and sue them over such a little thing, its disgraceful.

You should tell us when its finally over with whether he loses or not.

I agree with Clash, The lawyer wouldent sue unless he had a good reason\ a good arguement. Im sure its more than the teacher telling him to turn his shirt inside out.

he could sue the school. why not?

 

[PerfectPc]

Say if he even sues the teacher and wins, he has to go to another school because i don't think that particular school will ever let him back in.

the teacher would probably find a reason to fail him/her

 

[x3mvess]

lol he will surely lose. keep us updated on this. im interested to know how this turns out.

 

[Fusha]

Doesn't schools make you sign a safe-school policy or something and says that you have to agree to the dress code?
If he signed that, he's automatically going to lose.

who did the wrong thing the school it self the admin or the kid, think about it

They didn't violate any rules, they just enforced their already set rules in an orderly way
