A history teacher in California’s Lodi Unified School District sent one student to the principal’s office and lectured another on the evils of guns, all because the two wearing an NRA t-shirt.
The student who received the lecture on firearms was a 15-year-old girl.
CBS Sacramento reports[1] that both students were wearing NRA shirts at Lodi High School when the teacher became angry on Friday. Charlene Craig, the mother of the girl, said, “[The teacher] basically yelled at her, telling her that she would be writing an essay if she disagreed with him.”
Craig noted that the school’s dress code bars clothing that depicts a firearm, but made clear that her daughter’s shirt did not violate this policy because there was not a photo or image of a gun on it. Rather, the shirt has shell casings in a color-coordinated pattern, making an American flag. Below the flag are the words, “National Rifle Association.”
Fox News Insider reports[2] that administrators in Lodi Unified School District investigated the matter and noted that the shirts did not violate the district’s dress code. They district made clear it “plans to re-inform its staff about dress code policies.”
The other student “was sent to the principal’s office for refusing to take off the NRA shirt.”
