Its semantics but I'm only thinking in terms of the lawsuit... its like being told "you can quit, or i can fire you"...one puts the onus on you and the other puts it on the company.  Same thing, the school likely knew they didn't have grounds to stand on to suspend him outright so they let him make the choice himself and then suspended him for it.

You obviously didn't read the School's Standard of Conduct link that I provided.  I even told you where the answers were that gave the School such rights.

My guy, I read up to the person I quoted and then read his response, no I didnt even read your post...but since you bring it up


I did just read it now, and I'm still lost to where they have grounds to suspend him.  The first link is EXTREMELY vague as to what isn't allowed.  The second link which better spells out what isnt allowed still would need a very loose interpretation to not allow his clothing. 

"4 Clothing decorated or marked with illustrations, words, or phrases that have sexual innuendoes
nope
are vulgar
nope
obscene
nope
promote behavior violating school conduct standards 
nope
Gang-related symbols, colors, or insignias are not allowed
Unless there's a new gang I'm not familiar with, than no 
Clothing decorated or marked with illustrations, words, or phrases that are disruptive or potentially disruptive, and/or that promote superiority of one group over another is not permitted.
This maybe by the loosest definitions would be that, but the shirt in and of itself does not do these things

The fact that they rescinded the suspension says all I need to know about that matter, and the grounds they had to suspend him.
