School Board pussy foots After Principal Bullies Student…

The Monroe County Board of Education in Tennessee is reviewing its dress code after high school student Chris Sigler was allegedly harassed by his principal for wearing a t-shirt that read, “Gay Straight Alliance: We’ve Got Your Back” in support of establishing a GSA at his school.

On Sept. 27, Sigler wore the shirt in protest. He was told to cover up the shirt, but two days later he wore the shirt again.

That’s when Moser came to Sigler’s economic class in the middle of an exam, and demanded that all other students leave the room, he said. Sigler’s sister Jessica refused to leave. Both siblings said Moser grabbed Chris’s arm, shoved him against a wall, and chest-bumped him several times, while asking, “Who’s the big man now?” The attack ended when Sigler’s mother arrived at the school to find Moser leaning over her son, shouting in his face. Moser eventually agreed not to formally suspend Chris, stipulating that the student leave the school grounds for the remainder of the day.

According to the ACLU, public high school students have a First Amendment right to express themselves through clothing, as long as the messages they send do not cause a “substantial disruption” to instruction at school. Students also may not be censored by teachers and administrators based on the content of their opinions or statements.  full deets here
