| He was suspended for wearing a Trump t shirt, now he's suing his Oregon School District |
| 2018-05-25 |
| [SacramentoBee] An Oregon high school student is suing his school, saying it violated his First Amendment rights when it suspended him for wearing a Trump T-shirt. The student, 18-year-old Addison Barnes, told FOX 12 that he was asked to cover up a T-shirt he was wearing that said "Donald J. Trump Construction Co." on it, or leave school. The shirt also included a Trump quote: "The wall just got 10 feet taller." According to KGW, Barnes wore the shirt to his People and Politics class at Liberty High School in Hillsboro in January, and he told the TV outlet he knew they'd be discussing immigration in class that day. The school official who pulled Barnes out of class to ask him to cover the shirt also told him at least one student and one teacher had been offended by the shirt, The Associated Press reported. |

| #10 Or you could politely ask in a meek tone of voice, "Would you be offended if I told you to ESAD?" |

| #9 Excellent. Bankrupt them, make it HURT. That's the only way to keep them from doing it again. |

| #8 Judgment will be passed on to taxpayers and the folks that did this will suffer zero pushback. That's why you take it out of the 'bonus' money. It's already programmed in the budget and technically 'optional', thus no justification to pass it on to the taxpayers. |

| #7 "He was suspended for wearing a Trump t shirt, now he's suing his Oregon School District" Excellent. Bankrupt them, make it HURT. Make them take the district's entire annual budget and donate it to the Trump re-election campaign. It would serve the bastards right. |

| #6 Judgment will be passed on to taxpayers and the folks that did this will suffer zero pushback. That's my guess at least. |

| #5 Seek a judgement penalty equal to all the bonuses issued to administrators and teachers the year prior. That'll get their attention. |

| #1 The correct answer to them when they state they were offended is "You have no right to restrict my speech because it offends you". More succinct? "Go piss up a rope" |
