The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that students had the right to wear “Be Happy, Not Gay” T-shirts. A student at Neuqua Valley High School of the Indian Prairie School District wore the T-shirt a day after the school allowed a “Day of Silence” to protest LGBT harassment.
“A school that permits advocacy of the rights of homosexual students cannot be allowed to stifle criticism of homosexuality,” Judge Richard Posner wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel. -db
