"Let’s keep in mind, however, that we are talking about an 8th grader, typically a 14 year old, defying a teacher’s effort to enforce the dress code."

Except that, by the school district's attorney's indication, there was NO dress code violation:

"However, an attorney with Logan County Schools says the T-shirt did not violate the school’s rules." http://www.wsaz.com/news/wvnews/head...203875101.html

The student in this case knew the dress code better than the employee, and yet was still penalized for it.

No one sees anything wrong with that?
