ACLU sues over T-shirts with anti-Islamic message
The American Civil Liberties Union has sued a north Florida school district.
The lawsuit claims the Alachua County School District violated students' rights by not allowing them to wear T-shirts with an anti-Islamic message.
The civil rights organization says it doesn't agree with the ``Islam is of the Devil,'' message printed on T-shirts distributed by the Dove World Outreach Center and worn by area school children. But the ACLU says it supports the students' constitutional right to freedom of speech.
The district, which did not return a phone call seeking comment from The Associated Press, has called the messages disruptive and a violation of the dress code.
What others are saying
- ACLU sues over T-shirts with anti-Islamic messageTruth does hurt - religion is a fraud. Jesus, Mohammad, Santa Claus - take your pick. Always remember this: Christians get cancer. They get fired from their jobs. They loose their homes. Their spouses cheat on them. Their teams loose on Sunday. Pray all you want, nothing will spare you from the tribulations of this world.
- ACLU sues over T-shirts with anti-Islamic messageConservative Republican - you're an idiot. Would the ACLU sue if the T-shirt read "Jews killed Jesus" or "Niggers are criminals"? I THINK NOT
- ACLU sues over T-shirts with anti-Islamic messageTruth hurts? Islam is the religion of intolerance and revenge.
