Sorry, I am cynical.
So how does a temper tantrum from a teacher or a student merit arrest and criminal charges.........unless there was a ton more to this, it doesn't and the school is full of it. The school can do as it likes, unfortunately they do not hold themselves accountable to any sort of common sense anymore. Again, i reccomend homeschool to take them out of the playbook entirely. But the police officers should and the DA should have some sense that wearing a t-shirt even a political one IS NOT A CRIME! Disobeying a teachers orders is a school infraction, NOT A CRIME! :mad5 :banghead:
I in no way implied any of their actions were justified. I was just describing how I assume that it will go. Everyone will now hunker down. The dress code will be a big topic at future school board meetings. Teachers will now be sure to have cameras ready. The kids will be more on top of their game and have their cameras ready. No multi million dollar NRA lawsuit. Again, I am not justifying it. I would simply be astonished, outside of further evidence if the NRA ever mentions this in anything other than a "see it's happening again" sort of way.

Unless there is video (and I hope there is, with all the phones around these days) this will come down to a case "he said, he said." The school will make it about the students behavior, not the content of the shirt. Behavior is subject to interpretation and therefor a huge grey area that will give them protection.
