Questions remain unanswered for 8th grade student arrested over shirt
From the moment 13 News first broke this story on 13 News at 11 on Thursday, emails, Facebook posts and phone calls from people all across the country have been pouring in. Despite all of the attention, Jared Marcum and his family say they're no closer to a resolution than they were when it all began.
Jared Marcum, an 8th grade student, was suspended, arrested and is now facing two charges after refusing to change his shirt.
"People are saying that I did the right thing, that they're proud," Jared said.
The 14-year-old student at Logan Middle School in Logan, West Virginia says the NRA shirt that sparked the controversy now symbolizes a fight that is just getting started.
"What they're doing is trying to take away my rights, my freedom of speech and my second amendment," Jared said.
"You can take the firearms out of the equation, what this about is fundamental rights," Jared's father Allen Lardieri said.
