Student files lawsuit after order not to wear statement of support for war, military uncle

First, there was the piece of paper that could go off, then it was the "loaded" ballpoint, and now there’s the silk-screened image on a T-shirt that poses a danger.

A Pennsylvania student who wore a T-shirt to school to express his support for the American war on terror and to honor his uncle, a warrior in the battle, has been told he cannot do that.

At issue is a decision by Donald Miller III to wear to his school in the Penn Manor School District a T-shirt with the following slogans on the front and back:

"Volunteer Homeland Security" and "Special issue – Resident – Lifetime License United States Terrorist Hunting Permit – Permit No. 91101 Gun Owner – No Bag Limit"

The shirt also had a silk-screened image of a handgun silhouette. And all that, according to the school, broke several rules.
