An Iowa high schooler's mother is suing the Johnston Community School District and several employees, alleging they violated the First Amendment.
He said that he wouldn’t allow students to “wear any clothing that depicts guns, alcohol, or any other ‘inappropriate material,’” the document alleges.
Alan Ostergren, an attorney representing the student’s mother, said he hopes the case makes a point about students’ free-speech rights. Over the years, the student and her brother had both worn the Second Amendment shirt to Johnston High “with no complaints,” the document says. But when she wore it to Griffin’s class in September, he said “the shirt violated the school’s dress code” and removed her from the room, according to the lawsuit.
During a conversation with Bristow and her daughter, the lawsuit alleges that the district’s human resources director said the student couldn’t wear the shirt in school because “an image of a gun could be perceived to be threatening.”In response, the human resources director told them “we don’t get to choose how our words or actions make people feel,” the lawsuit states.Johnson High administrators allegedly would not let the student go back to class unless she changed her shirt.
