A student was sent home from a Missouri high school for refusing to turn his gay pride shirt inside out. Sounds like the principal at my high school (Michael Hall of Anderson High School) who demanded we remove our anti-Nazi stickers and pins from all apparel or be suspended.
Mr. Mathewson began attending the school, outside Joplin, in September. In a statement issued by the civil liberties union, he said: "The school lets other students wear antigay T-shirts, and I understand that they have a right to do that. I just want the same right. I think tolerating each other's differences is a key part in teaching students how to become good citizens."
