A Florida mother says she received an apology from Kirby-Smith Middle School officials after an employee told her son to turn a GOP elephant shirt inside out.
“Spirit Week†at the Jacksonville school recently inspired one student to show off his conservative credentials, but the outfit didn’t sit well with a staff member. The family, who spoke to local reporters on condition of anonymity, said the shirt was described as a possible dress code violation.
“It was Nerd Day, so he wanted to be a Republican nerd,†the student’s mother said Oct. 12.
A Duval County Public School spokesperson told the station that a staff member was confused about the difference between its employee dress code and the student dress code.
