QuoteAn Oregon high school student who was suspended over a shirt that touted President Trump's proposed border wall has agreed to settle his lawsuit after the school agreed to pay $25,000 for his legal fees and have its principal write him an apology.

Addison Barnes, who graduated this year from Liberty High School in Hillsboro, Ore., outside Portland, filed a lawsuit in federal court in May alleging that the school violated his First Amendment rights when it punished him for wearing the shirt to a politics class discussion about immigration. The shirt said "Donald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.," and "The Wall Just Got 10 Feet Taller."

District Judge Michael W. Mosman sided with Barnes and his lawyers in late May, ordering the school to prevent the school district from banning the shirt while the lawsuit was in progress, a sign that the case had merits to succeed.

Hillsboro School District officials said they decided to settle the case to avoid the "cost and disruption" of litigation. The $25,000 will cover Barnes's legal fees.

First Amendment is still dead. This shouldn't have ever happened in the first place. But, it did. Another Liberal in charge of educating our kids strikes with their fascist ways.
With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

Opening ca of worms here. :biggrin:


How is the First dead? He won in court and was even allowed to continue wearing the shirt before the court ruled in his favor, that a win, win!.

Does the school have the right to tell a kid he can't wear a shirt that says he "likes children for nefarious reasons, supports murdering babies, or one that says niggers suck on it?

Point is, kids don't have unfettered freedom of speech in school, never have, they're there to learn, nothing more, and that's what we need to be demanding.

Screw this shit, they need to be forced to a strict dress code because life has these same rules when one enters the workforce, that is, unless you plan to be a min wage employee the rest of your life.

I'm glad the kid won. But, we need actual standards in school.

Standards in a government school? Don't hold your breath.

My position for this thread is an anti-Liberal ran school system and not a pro-student one. I would have no problem if schools said only wear Polo shirts to avoid inappropriate graphic Tee's.

But, this wasn't. This was solely based in Liberal Correctness. To silence a Conservative voice, opinion, and expression.

If I was the student, I would not accept his apology. The principal is only apologizing because he is forced to.
