An 11-year-old boy in Colorado was suspended from school after he refused to take off a shirt that read, Obama is a terrorists best friend. His father says that the school is violating his sons First Amendment rights.
Daxx Dalton, a fifth grader at Aurora Frontier K-8 School in Aurora, Colo., wore the homemade shirt on a day when students were asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue, according to MyFOXColorado.com.
When he was given the choice of turning the shirt inside out or being suspended, Dalton chose suspension.
Theyre taking away my right of freedom of speech, he said. If I have the right to wear this shirt Im going to use it. And if the only way to use it is get suspended, then Im going to get suspended.
