Ironically, both opponents and proponents of student dress codes point to the same U.S. Supreme Court ruling to support their positions Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District (1969). In this famous decision, the Court ruled 7-2 that public school officials could not censor student expression the wearing of black armbands, in that case unless they could reasonably forecast that the student expression would cause substantial disruption or material interference with school activities or would invade the rights of others.
Dress-code opponents emphasize that students convey a multitude of messages on their clothing, ranging from political slogans, music lyrics, and support for a favorite athletic team. They argue that school officials cannot censor student expression unless they can show that the clothing will disrupt the school environment. They contend that Tinker stands for the fundamental principle that students have the right to wear clothing with messages, just as the students in the 1960s could wear black armbands to protest the Vietnam War.

CAN I WEAR CLOTHING THAT COMMUNICATES A POLITICAL OR RELIGIOUS MESSAGE?
Yes. In the 1969 case of Tinker v. Des Moines, one of the most well-known student rights' cases considered by the U.S. Supreme Court, the Court ruled that students had a constitutional right to wear a black armband to school to protest U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. Since then, courts have continued to hold that students generally have a right to express political views through their clothing. This can include, for example, wearing clothing that endorses or criticizes a politician or, as in more recent cases, wearing t-shirts concerning gay rights. Additionally, schools cannot prohibit students from wearing clothes that are in observance of their religion, such as a Muslim wearing a hijab in school.https://www.aclu.org/blog/womens-rights/womens-rights-education/5-things-public-schools-can-and-cant-do-when-it-comesQuote:
In reality, public schools must:
Be neutral with respect to religion:
They cannot promote one religion over another.
They cannot promote religion in general over a secular lifestyle.
They cannot promote a secular lifestyle over religion.
Allow students to pray, carry religious texts, discuss religious topics, and pass out religious materials on the school bus, at the flagpole, in the corridors outside of class time, in the cafeteria, etc., as long as their behavior is not disruptive.
Allow students to wear religious jewelry and clothing with religious symbols and statements -- subject of course to safety considerations. Students do not leave their First Amendment rights at the front door of the school building.https://answersingenesis.org/public-school/rights-in-public-schools/Quote:
Schools can't discriminate based on the viewpoint expressed by your clothing. The Supreme Court has recognized that public school students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." The First Amendment prohibits schools from picking and choosing which views students are allowed to express. All views have to be treated equally, so long as they are not obscene or disruptive. This means that if a school permits items like t-shirts with slogans, buttons, or wristbands, it has to permit them no matter what message they express.Quote:
2. May a student wear a tee-shirt or button with a religious slogan, Bible verse, or anti-abortion message printed on it?
Christian students may display religious messages on clothing to the same extent as other students are permitted to display comparable messages.
Shirts with printed messages are forms of symbolic speech protected by the First Amendment. Courts have only allowed suppression of symbolic speech in public schools if it were lewd or obscene, Broussard v. Sch. Brd. of City of Norfolk (E.D. Va. 1992), or if the clothing had slogans advertising alcoholic beverages, McIntire v. Berel Sch., 804 F. Supp. 1415 (W.D. Okia. 1992).

Drama much? It doesn't matter if it was a teacher or student. It applies to both. Read much?
Dead wrong as usual.
"Since the 1960s, the federal courts have made it crystal clear that officially sponsored prayer and proselytizing is not acceptable in the school environment"
Is this statement true or false in a PUBLIC SCHOOL?
Would you want your child to be proselytized by a person of another faith in school?

What a pathetic post and poster. You have no idea what it means to be an American and don't deserve the freedom that people have died for that you want to throw away.

Ike didn't beat Tina this badly.
Heck, even with the US A-bombing Japan, the Japs didn't suffer as much a beat down as this guy.

CBN is a little slow on the uptake, as this lawsuit was filed in November 2020. It looks like the case either has settled or will be settled shortly. All of the documents are on PACER if anyone wants to pay to download them and see what the terms of the settlement are. But yes, this was an incredibly dumb policy, and a case with such a similar fact pattern as Tinker v. Des Moines that the school district was bound to lose.
