A Pennsylvania student is off the hook after the American Civil Liberties Union defended his right to wear a political T-shirt to school.
Chris Schiano's T-shirt said "International Terrorist" and had a picture of President Bush.
A security guard at his high school north of Philadelphia told him to take it off. He refused.
Schiano says he's well versed in the First Amendment. He says he "knew right off they had no legal footing to stand on.
" The principal says after hearing from the ACLU, school officials realized that the shirt, while potentially offensive, didn't violate the school's dress code. It had no references to sex, drugs, ethnic intimidation or explicit language.
Schiano says he's now wearing the shirt to school and no one's given him a hard time.
Good for you lad. It is so nice to see our young people opposing totalitarianism in this day and age. Young Chris gives me a little hope.
Oh, and by the way, I just found that Newsweek has a link to this website. So don't you feel all smart sitting there in your pajamas and reading this. (God I hope that you are at least wearing pajamas!)
