In the face of public ridicule and legal action the school district came to its senses and issued an apology. In a statement published by Michael L. Christensen, Superintendent of Schools, Orange Unified School District, the school district said the shirt was okay to wear to school, and promised to provide training to staff aimed at preventing future incidents. The matter now seems to be resolved, and the NRA has given Haley a carton of the banned t-shirts to give to her friends, to wear to school if they want to.
(Pictures of) Guns are Scary
But sometimes the Bill of Rights wins anyway. If you're a public school that wants to ban a t-shirt message, don't pick one that celebrates the NRA, because they've got lawyers who will come and help the students. Pretty good lawyers, too:
