suing the school

[ImAFool]

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

That's BS. Every school has much more specific dress codes, no matter what. I'm not entirely sure about which states, but I am quite sure that every state has laws that require that you agree to those terms to enroll.

Public schools can't unreasonably restrict free speech just because they don't like the message (unless it's counter productive to the school's mission: education).

wtf that kid is lucky he is in the 21st century. 100 years ago he would get his ass raped with a ruler if he threatened to sue the school. he should be thankful they didn't just kick his ass out of school but let him stay with his shirt turned inside out. pathetic.

I just pulled this out from the school district I went to last year -

B 1 and 2, and C clearly describe dress code. It's just an example, but I'm positive just about every school has guidelines similar to these.

 

[Clashfan]

So it depends on whether the court views his shirt as

1. immodest, immoral, or "extremes" of dress or appearance of any nature which
may provoke or distract other students or otherwise cause a disruption to the
educational process are prohibited;
2. clothing or jewelry deemed provocative, profane or suggestive slogans or
illustrations is not permitted;

(assuming that his dress code is similar to yours)

Not everyone has those kind of dress codes. My school use to not really have a dress code as well other than nothing pertaining to drugs, gangs, or guns.

This reminds of something I saw on the news where two girls got suspended I think or just got in trouble for taking handbags with the confederate flag lol.

Meh, he's going to lose, im sure his school would not have been stupid enough to leave out somthing in the policy like that.

 

[killmonste20]

he will loose definatly lol

The constitution lets me wear what I want =/

It does violate the constitution. Freedom of speech and expression is limited if it threatens, violates, or causes substantial harm the rights of one group or person.

Also, when you're in a school building, you must abide by the laws set by the school itself, which usually voids fourth amendment rights, and many others.

update: Tell your cocky friend he's a dumbass, thinking about suing the school because the administration asked him to flip his shirt. I have a friend that literally left his backpack in an office, and they searched it and found a machete, then suspended him for a week. That would be a better reason to file a lawsuit, but being asked to flip his shirt is ridiculous.

Our maths teacher pulled some Muslims girls headscarf off :S

Doubt anything will happen to him.

 

[wtp]

beyond the schools policy's, thats shirt could be easily found racist. We have freedom of speech but not the freedom to insult people

 

[T4ank]

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

I doubt he'll win, its not a big deal, I had to do it with my GILF shirt tons.

 

[Dark Devil]

Well I think the kid will loose. One time in my school a teen sued the school when his leg broke during a football game and are school became poor now we don't have a football team.

 

[coz]
