Student Arrested, Suspended for Wearing Offensive T-Shirt to School

A Bryson Middle School eighth-grader was arrested and suspended from school after he wore a T-shirt to school Thursday with a KKK symbol on it.
The student showed up to lunch with two shirts on and briefly lifted his top shirt to reveal a white T-shirt with the symbol, slogan and picture of a noose on it. The shirt “caused a tremendous amount of disruption in the cafeteria,” an incident report stated.
The student was immediately suspended from school and recommended for expulsion, the report said.
Later in the day, students passed notes saying some were planning to wear similar shirts today. Principal Phillip Davie addressed the involved students yesterday.
