I know schools have rules on dress codes, but what ever happened to suspentions?

Is wearing whatever T-shirt you want an inalienable right to U.S. citizens as part of their freedom of speech? Apparently not. A 14-year-old Kentucky middle school student, Jared Marcum, is actually facing legitimate jail time for an incident where he wore an NRA T-shirt to school that said, "Protect your rights." Ironic, right? Guns in schools are no joke, and it's quite understandable that a teacher took offense to Marcum's clothing selection—asking him to remove the shirt or turn it inside-out. However, Marcum refused, and even told the principal the same thing.

This situation escalated and prompted the school's principal to call the police. Once again, Marcum refused, and due to the incident, is now facing a $500 fine and up to a year in jail, Daily Mail reports.

Maybe the school would like a t-shirt with this better?

Every time they go overboard in suppressing people like this they are waking more and more people up.

Charges won't stick. Disobeying an order from a policeman is only a crime when it is a lawful order. What law was this kid breaking?

It's not the T shirt that's the issue. It's his refusal to obey 'orders'--unlawful ones. This is a naked battle between authoritarians and a kid that understands and values freedom, and insists on flexing his inalienable rights guaranteed him by the constitution. What is astonishing is how the authoritarians control everything.

Yes! Also, The use of the court insures that the family finances will funnel into court costs, the judge and his lawyers need their pools refinished. The kid's parents must pay!
