Student sues WCSD for punishments over pro-gun shirts An eighth-grade student is suing the Washoe County School District, claiming he was punished for wearing pro-gun shirts to school. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday, April 24, 2018, claims the student's First Amendment rights were violated and his political speech suppressed when he was told on two occasions to cover up shirts with pro-Second Amendment messages. According to the complaint, the first incident happened November 20, 2017, when the student, only identified as G.M. was punished for wearing a shirt promoting the local business Sparks Black Rifle. The shirt has a picture of a rifle under the store's name. The school district's dress code prohibits depictions of "anything that promotes weapons". The complaint says G.M. was told by his teacher the shirt violated the dress code because of the depiction of the rifle. He was told to cover up the shirt and he allegedly wore a sweatshirt for the remainder of the day. March 12, 2018, G.M. wore a shirt with the words, 'Don't Tread On Me' surrounded by references to the Second Amendment. The complaint notes there are no weapons on the shirt, but G.M. was told by the same teacher that his shirt violated the dress code. LINK |

Based on precedent the student will probably win. Even with the image of the gun, the courts have ruled that they are not disruptive so they are protected. |

The school district's dress code prohibits depictions of "anything that promotes weapons". Seems a simple rule he violated. |

Irrelevant. In a school environment students do not have full blown Constitutional rights. They can't, for example, carry a legal weapon to school without being punished if they're caught. The school's rules says clearly, "no shirts that promote weapons". That's not a particularly draconian rule. I imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of students manage to attend school every day without having to wear a shirt that promotes weapons. The fact that this particular student did is his problem, and he was justifiably penalized for his violation of school rules. And the odds are pretty damn good that even if he fights it all the way to the Supreme Court, he's going to lose. |

If this kid is a leftist, leftists would say it was an artistic gesture. |

If he were a "leftist", he'd still be in the wrong. |

Some kid drew a picture of Trump as a Nazi pointing a gun on Trayvon Martin's head, leftists said it was an artistic expression. Anymore yabbuts you want to disclose? |

The problem is that there is Court precedent that says a gun on a t-shirt is not disruptive enough to trump his 1st amendment rights. The kid has a right to free speech and their dress code violates that right. |
