What was he arrested for. What are the charges.
I'm amazed this made the new.
They continuity call for tolerance, but they are so intolerant they will go as far as to have someone arrested for wearing a T-shirt that they don't like.
The time to abandon political correctness is long overdue.
I hope the lawsuit pays for his college education and then some.
Being a former police officer, I remember part of Texas Law.....
"It is the duty of every citizen to resist tyrannical and unjust forceful application of the law."
I think they meant official oppression, but take it how you will.
This was from the pink copy of the 2003 Vernon's Abbreviated Statutes.
Sure sounds like it fits here.
BTW...
All my NRA T-shirts are so old and worn that they look like they have been hit with buckshot. And I aint ready to get rid of em yet.
Devils advocate warning.
Schools are gun free zones. Remember the pop tart incident. How about the finger gun cops and robbers incident ?
With that said this ranks in the top 15 most idiotic things I've heard recently.
velcome to der united states komrade. vhere you are free to do anyting you vant, as long as you agree vit us. sorry, that's the best Nazi accent I can do with a keyboard.
I hope the teacher ends up unemployed and living under an overpass
Send this kid a message of support: (if you fb)

Gun phobia strikes again. I am afraid of snakes. So should it be illlegal to wear a t-shirt that has a snake image on it? Stupid overreacting schools.
Sounds like someone needs to step up and start a legal defense (offense?) fund for this fine youngster.
I feel teaching is likely the most noble of endeavors, but there are sure some pitiful little humans infiltrating these noble ranks of teachers and school administrators.
The official charges were Obstruction and Disturbing the Education Process.
The student said a teacher got in his face while he was eating lunch. The student refused to take off the shirt. The Logan City Cops were called and the boy was arrested.
The boy said that the biggest disturbance was when his fellow students cheered in support of him.
The father was pretty fired up about it and rightfully so. The school policy for dress was : no profanity, no violence and no disturbing messages on clothing.
I don't know how the charges are justified. It has been mentioned that the local gun club that I belong to should attend the next BOE meeting.
If more kids carried guns to school like we did when I was a kid so we could hunt both before and after, there would be fewer school shootings. I can't wait for God to push the reset button again. It is long over due. There are too many stupid people who couldn't survive a day on their own sucking up my air.
Best wishes,

Not just the teacher should be named in the suit but the administration for allowing it to happen. Then there the police officers that conveniently forgot to protect this young mans right to free speech.
Sadly it will be the citizens that will have to dig in their pockets when this young man wins. Unions will make sure none of the GUILTY parties will have to pay even one dime for their wrong doings.
People think California is bad, evidently West Virginia is also not a great state to try and live in.
It has gotten to the point that the police are the universal solution to school issues. I bet there are allot less kids sitting in the office lately. it seems the solution to most issues is call the police and let them take the kid away. I was picked on for years in school, when I finally started fighting back I was given ALLOT of slack by administrators because they knew what was going on. One day after beating the snot out of one of the aggressors the asst principal told me 'ok, I think they have had enough. unless they instigate I don't want to see you in my office again.' I never even got suspended for all the beatings I gave out for years of abuse. Things have definately changed.
Only a matter of time I suppose, until him and everyone else like will have a boot on their neck that are not willing to comply...
With the NRA behind him, this could turn out just fine for this kid, and his family. The school should be loosing sleep over the upcoming lawsuit.
Cops arrested the wrong person; should have arrested the teacher who started it all.
And the principle of the school and the school superintendent.
They should all be beaten by parents, their heads stuffed back up their obama and rolled out in the parking lot with a
"kick me I'm a dumb a$$" sign on them.
These IDIOTS are not going to stop until we MAKE them stop.
TxGunNut, Please don't do the same thing that a lot of people do on the anti gun side do. You posted that teachers are living off our taxes and make good money. That is not a true across the board statement. Many teachers in Louisiana have to take a part time job to be able to continue teaching. They, like police officers take the job because they want to help people. Where would we be without them?
You should judge that one bad teacher who decided to take her own views about gun control into the classroom. If any of the liberals at that school would have had a clear mind then the teacher would of been told to leave the boy alone.
It is a small town and shows it by the police acting as they did. It shows that they have little training in making decisions on what is a probable cause for arrest. If they would of taken time to read the policy and what it takes to make such an arrest then the boy would of not be arrested.
The school system should fire this teacher and put on notice all others that they can't bring personal opinion into the classroom. There is fault with several persons on this matter and I hope that this father takes the correct steps to insure that his son receives a just outcome of this matter.
I started in Law Enforcement in 1974 and that was with college credits in Criminal Justice for a salary of just $595 a month. When I left in 1990 I was making $2100 a month gross. Tons of money you say!! Later Cajun Shooter
Teachers and school systems have been bending our children's minds for years. Only now and then do they actually get caught at it. I hope they have no *** left after is gets sued off. Mike
I didnt see where someone said this. But he was EATING LUNCH when this started. How is he disturbing the education process in lunch. All he did was refuse to remove the shirt and got arrested for it. This is wrong on more levels than I can count.
I wonder if it had been a 14 year old GIRL would the teacher have demanded SHE remove the only piece of clothing SHE was wearing from the waste up?
Somehow I doubt that would happen.
It looks like the teacher need to be the student and the student need to be the teacher.

As an ex deputy sheriff and retired assistant principal, this misuse of administrative power by some school districts makes me sick to my stomach. I am saddened by local law enforcement's involvement in a strictly nonviolent school issue. I am aware that there are some teachers that overstep their authority and that school administrators back such teachers up. I doubt that will ever change. The only thing I can say is that I never did that and I am SO VERY GLAD that I am retired and no longer have to put up with such things.
Cajun Shooter, I think you need to read my posts more carefully. I think you'll agree with me on most points. I know school teachers are not getting rich off the taxpayers' teat and I didn't imply that they were. My point was that teachers in most cases are better off than many people in the private sector. In my case I have a college education and 35 yrs experience at my job. I make about the same as a teacher or LEO but I pay over $350/mo for minimal health insurance and my employer has no retirement plan. I also know many people in the private sector who are not nearly as well off as I am. I work in the private sector because for many years I made better money there but I worked for my local PD for 25 yrs as an unpaid reserve officer. I was raised by a teacher and several family members are teachers. I'm familiar with the challenges faced by LEO's and teachers but I'm also familiar with the benefits.
The teacher in question is a poor example of the profession and a poor investment of taxpayers' money. I accept that the typical teacher is a bit more liberal than the average person but her politics have no place in that classroom.
I kind of know how the boy felted, I went down to Liberal Ks. to see my brother in law, we went to the compay BBQ, Northen natural gas company, I had on a UAW 94 te shirt, It wasnt no time that head office people told me they didnt like unions here, I said its to bad we have to use your natural gas at john deere in heat treat, but they are thinking of going to electric, Joe
Maybe this is why he was arrested - "CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - He famously fired a gun in a TV ad while boasting of an endorsement from the National Rifle Association. But U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin can no longer rely on the backing of that powerful lobby. The West Virginia Democrat faced off against the NRA during last week's debate over his background check proposal. The confrontation marked his second break with a major support group since his rise from the governor's office to Capitol Hill.
West Virginians for Life renounced its longtime favorite in 2011, over his Senate votes on health care issues. The anti-abortion group campaigned actively against Manchin in 2012, but he still won a full term convincingly. Manchin says he remains an NRA member and opposed to abortion. He's urging voters to read his gun proposal." WOWK.
That is a correct statement. Whether they get high pay or not is their problem, just like any other occupation.Quote:
