J. Sam Gentry Middle School in Mt. Airy, North Carolina was the recent site of a violation of freedom of speech, but also a quick restoration of that violation. On Wednesday, a student was told by a teacher to turn the t-shirt they were wearing inside out. Why? Because it had a Bible Scripture reference.
A young girl, who has not been identified, was told to turn her t-shirt inside out for a Scripture reference which was emblazoned on the front. According to one parent, whose daughter is friends with the girl, it was a physical education teacher, whose decision was backed up by the assistant principal. So far, I have been unable to confirm the teacher involved or whether an assistant principal was involved in the matter.
Principal Paige Badgett spoke to Freedom Outpost about the incident.
"That has been rectified," said Badgett, referring to the incident that took place on Wednesday. "It was wrong, and you, as well as I know students have a freedom of speech and can wear t-shirts."
