The Webb City School District announced Tuesday that it will loosen its restrictions on gay pride T-shirts. The district revealed its plan in a motion to dismiss a federal lawsuit against it.

LaStaysha Myers, a heterosexual 15-year-old student at Webb City High School in Missouri, was twice sent home from school last November for wearing homemade t-shirts; first, one bearing several handwritten slogans such as "I support the gay rights!" and "Who are we to judge?" and the next day one that bore a rainbow and the Webster’s dictionary definition of "gay": "Mrry, happy."

The ACLU filed suit earlier this month accusing the school district of violating Myers' First Amendment rights. (story)

1. Do You Ever Wonder If These Folks KNOW IN ADVANCE That They Will Lose...

... any legal challenges? Surely they are smart enough to realize when they are violating someone's First Amendments rights whenever they try to pull shit like this.

I'm thinking that they DO NOW, but they just don't care. They have such little regard for the rights of others that they will WILLFULLY break the law for as long as they can get away with it.
