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. …

Maxine told WPTV: ‘There was a group of girls in there who started talking really loudly and kind of obnoxiously about how awful Trump supporters are and how they are all racist and saying some really ignorant things.’
Sure sounds like it was the group of girls that were causing the disruption, not the t-shirt. And what is an “in school suspension”...she has to stay there but can’t go to class?
I wonder if it was what was said on the shirt or how she looked in it.
I can imagine a busty girl wearing an extra small T-shirt. It would not be the logo that would be the problem. And yes, it WOULD be disruptive.
Because our media outlets are liberal bastions of tyranny that cannot report truth, even in the smallest of instances. Keep the people in the dark and they are controllable.................
Now if their lies are incredibly effective, how much more so truth? They understand this on a visceral level. It really sets them off.
-—Time to sue the school for millions on violating her freedom of expression.——
Students do have absolute freedom of expression to cause a disturbance while in school...
School is for learning, the principal right or wrong is the authority...
A lawsuit doesn’t have a chance...
What is this school going to do when they hang a picture of President Trump in the admin office?
It would be heaven on earth if you were an numb skull Liberal
NO free speech on public property!
The only thing I don't agree with about this approach is that you would be suing them for tax dollars, essentially your's and everyone else's. I would push more for the firing of the administrators of that school.
A little fuss and they'll shut their mouths.
In Tinker, the United States Supreme Court held that a school may not ban students from wearing black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War. The Tinker case thus stands for the proposition that “a student may ‘express his opinions, even on controversial subjects ... if he does so without materially and substantially interfer[ing] with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school and without colliding with the rights of others,’ Tinker 393 U.S. at 513 (alteration in original). The rule of Tinker has come to mean that a school may not regulate student expression unless the regulation may be ‘justified by a showing that the student[’s] [speech] would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school.’
The question is whether there was a disruption, or if only the teachers and administrators were censoring the student's free speech.
I’d wear the shirt each and every day. I’m all for school discipline, but if that shirt had a rainbow and advocated for transgender rights, there’d be not one problem with it. I understand that the only standards that liberals understand are double standards, but it is time for the people to apply a real standard to public employees: If you ban political shirts, you ban ALL political shirts, including messages you agree with.
Punish the morons who were causing the disruption by reacting poorly to someone exercising their freedom of speech.
“In school suspension” requires the student to sit in set aside room for discipline during the school day. All school work is delivered to the student, for them to complete.
The student still attends school, but is isolated into a room where other “disruptive students” have been placed.

Followup:
In Guiles v. Marineau, 461 F.3d 320 (2d. Cir. 2006), cert. denied by 127 S.Ct. 3054 (2007), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit held that the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States protect the right of a student in the public schools to wear a shirt insulting the President of the United States and depicting images relating to drugs and alcohol.
The plaintiff in this case, a student at Williamstown Middle High School in Vermont, had worn a T-shirt displaying the name “George W. Bush” and the words “Chicken-Hawk-In-Chief,” underneath of which there was “a large picture of the President’s face, wearing a helmet, superimposed on the body of a chicken.”[1] Alongside the picture of the President was a depiction of “three lines of cocaine and a razor blade.”[2] The wings of the “chicken” were depicted holding a straw and an alcoholic beverage. At the bottom of and on the back of the T-shirt there was additional verbiage making fun of Bush and, among other things, accusing him of being addicted to cocaine. Depictions of Bush, cocaine and alcohol were also present on the sleeves.
So, you can insult a sitting Republican President, but you must never call for justice against a Democrat Presidential Candidate. Drain the Swamp!
The Left is always screaming that they can insult others, that don’t agree with them.
Wear one of the following and you’ll be promoted, invited to speak at graduation, and receive high honors.
“I had an abortion”
“I’m chopping my dick off and wearing lipstick”
“Hugo Chavez”
“Fidel Castro”
“Pol Pot”
“Stalin”
“hillary”
Or declare you are an illegal immigrant. Oh yeah...already happened in TEXAS of all places.
Don’t forget about Ernesto Guevara.
Could you describe the rukus?
