An Oregon high school student is suing his school, saying it violated his First Amendment rights when it suspended him for wearing a Trump T-shirt.

The student, 18-year-old Addison Barnes, told FOX 12 that he was asked to cover up a T-shirt he was wearing that said “Donald J. Trump Construction Co.” on it, or leave school. The shirt also included a Trump quote: “The wall just got 10 feet taller.”

So Addison's shirt "offended" a teacher and a student.  But I'll bet if he went to school in a Che Guevara shirt, that would be ok. 

Go get 'em, Addison.

And, he was going to a class discussing immigration. Ergo, it is fine to 'discuss illegal immigration' as long as you 'discuss' how great it is. No difference of opinion is ever tolerated by the "tolerant Left".
