I found this article today:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/04/2...sted-suspended-after-argument-over-nra-shirt/
It is, in a nutshell, about a student who was ARRESTED for disrupting the education of others because he wore and refused to remove a NRA shirt.
I looked up the school and found the site here:

I am in complete disagreement with this school systems choices, so I wrote the principle a respectful, yet disagreeing letter to the school principal esutherl@access.k12.wv.us as follows:
To whom it may concern;
I understand that a lot of schools have to face plethora of challenges on a day-to-day basis and I completely respect the public school systems, as well as the vast majority of rules set in place to ensure the safety and security of this nations children.
On most occasions, the school system gets it right, and on rare ones, it does not.
I feel that what you did to young Mr. Jared Marcum is a shame to the public school systems. The system teaches him about his rights, yet you are taking away his right by doing what you did. He must learn about this to pass his grade every year so by wearing the shirt, he obviously knows about the right.
Every one is entitled to their own opinion and he was showing his. One, if not several, of the faculty did not agree with it but that does not mean that those faculty should get their own emotions involved to disrupt this young mans education.
I am of no relation to the young Jared Marcum but I feel his rights were violated with the actions you set forth.
As a father and soon to be again, these actions give me yet less faith in our public school systems.
Best regards,
