A high school student was threatened with suspension from her classes after wearing a T-shirt declaring Hillary for Prison 2016.
Maxine Yeakle, who is voting for Donald Trump, said she was pulled out of class at Boca Raton High School in Florida because of what she was wearing.
The 18-year-old posted a video on Facebook on Tuesday, saying the school’s assistant principal had admitted there were no rules against clothes with political slogans on them, but said she faced in-school suspension (ISS) because of the disruption it was causing. …

Because of the totalitarian impulses of leftists, Free Speech is limited.
Reminds me of the scene from Election where the Principal wanted to suspend the student candidate for class President for being irreverent in her student body speech.
LAW$UIT!...................
And the student promptly told them to bug off, correct?
Wear it, refuse to remove it, get the suspension and then sue their asses off. A Hillary FOR president wouldn’t have gotten a second glance.
Time to sue the school for millions on violating her freedom of expression.
You can go in with a dozen piercings and obscene clothing and call it freedom of speech. But a teacher who can’t control their students because a political t-shirt starts a class uproar the teacher can’t control freedom of speech no longer applies. This sound more like a school discipline issue. If the they give the girl a suspension I would hope Trump or a Trump PAC would pay to sue the school.
“because of the disruption it was causing. …”. It’s as easy as that, folks; simply raise a ruckus; yell fire in a theater; FEEL micro-aggressed, and get your way. That’s the same strategy babies use to get fed and coddled.
Next day, wear a trump for prison shirt. If no response, document it well in writing and film and file suit.
If the school bans all political t-shirts, liberal and conservative, fine.
Leftists are all for free speech so long as they agree with it.
That’s rich!
I work at a University and faculty (YES) walk around with THEIR candidate on their shirt!!
I guest THAT’S OK, though
I was employed by a university once. Miserable atmosphere.
“Which school policy did I violate teach?”

I have been driving a school bus for the past couple months. I have a high school boy who sometimes wears his “Hillary for prison” T shirt. I told him, “Nice shirt” one day when he was getting on.
When we said “free speech”, we didn’t mean for you.
