Q At the beginning of class, and in front of the class, the Geometry teacher tells them that he finds the t-shirt offensive, and demands that they either cover it up, or go to their locker and change it. The student responds that they have no intention of changing their t-shirt, to which the Geometry teacher states, "Look, I'm sick and tired of working so hard to figure out what to call you, much less having to put up with your politics! Either you get rid of the t-shirt, or get out of this class." They are then summarily sent to the Principal's office. You are the Principal. They tell you the story as set forth above. From a pedagogical/legal point of view, what are your obligations as the High School Principal? When appropriate, cite to legal concepts we have studied this semester.
