Two middle school students in Livingston, CA were admonished by school officials for wearing pro-life shirts and threatened with dismissal. The shirts stated: (front) Help Cure Abortion (back) Abortion: The leading cause of death in America --1,200,000 every year.

The public school reversed its position after an administrative complaint was filed on the pupils’ behalf by attorneys for The Pacific Justice Institute, a non-profit legal defense organization specializing in the defense of religious freedom, parental rights, and other civil liberties.

In a letter from the school’s administration, in response to the complaint, the school stated that it now concurred that the students have a First Amendment right to wear the shirts in question. The letter goes on to state that school staff has been instructed not to take action against pupils wearing these or similar shirts.

Schools should not be allowed to censor student religious or political speech merely because someone finds it offensive. It’s part of our First Amendment Rights!
