In October a Pennsylvania teen was ridiculed by her teacher and called a KKK supporter for wearing a Romney T-shirt to class.
This week the family sued the teacher at Charles Carroll High School and the school district over the abuse their daughter suffered for wearing the Rommney T-shirt to school.
Philly.com reported, via Townhall:
The parents of the Charles Carroll High School student ridiculed and ordered by her teacher to remove a t-shirt supporting Mitt Romney sued the teacher and school district on Friday, claiming the act violated the girls civil rights.
Filed in federal court in Philadelphia, the suit says the district ignored Samantha Pawlucys right to free speech, let other students threaten and harass her and subjected her to emotional distress, simply because she exercised her First Amendment rights.
Fernando Gallard, a spokesman for the district, said it would not comment on the lawsuit.
Pawlucy, a 16-year-old sophomore from Port Richmond, drew national headlines from the furor that erupted when she wore a pink Romney-Ryan shirt during a dress-down day at school in September.
According to the lawsuit, Pawlucy had worn the shirt all day when she walked into geometry teacher Lynette Gaymons classroom.
The teacher allegedly told the teen that Charles Carroll was a Democratic school and that her shirt was akin to one spouting a logo for the Ku Klux Klan.

So the girl expressing her political opinion on the T-shirt is just her expressing her first amendmant right to free speech. But the others - who expressed their disagreement to her political opinions - are guilty of a tort?
People are such hypocritical idiots. Everyone has a right to express their political opinions. And everyone else has a right to express theirs as well. It's a knife that cuts both ways.
No...to them it doesn't.
