The mother of a Merced area 7th grader is currently suing the school district claiming that the school which her daughter attends violated her First Amendment Right to free speech when the administration at the school forced the girl to remove a pro-life shirt. The mother is claiming that her daughter was wearing the shirt on a National Pro-Life T-Shirt Day but the Merced school prohibited her from doing so. At lunch time, the school officials forced her to remove the shirt which contained two pictures of developing fetuses, and would not return it to her until the end of the day. The school district is claiming that the shirt constituted inappropriate subject matter and was in violation of the school’s dress code. The Supreme Court of the United States recently heard two similar cases involving school censorship of student speech.
