Judge OKs 'Hitler Youth' Buttons to Protest School Uniform Policy
Thursday, September 20, 2007

NEWARK, N.J. — Two students in northern New Jersey can wear buttons featuring a picture of Hitler youth to protest a school uniform policy, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

U.S. District Judge Joseph A. Greenaway Jr. sided with the parents of the students, who had been threatened with suspension by the Bayonne school district last fall for wearing the buttons. However, the judge added in his ruling that the boys will not be allowed to distribute the buttons at school.

"I'm very pleased," said Laura DePinto, mother of one of the students. "I think it upholds the most basic of our American rights, which is to protest peacefully."

Citing a 1969 case in Iowa involving students who wore black arm bands to protest the Vietnam War, Greenaway wrote that "a student may not be punished for merely expressing views unless the school has reason to believe that the speech or expression will 'materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school."'...http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,297514,00.html

I think it is appropriate also that the bozos wear clown costumes complete with make-up, squirting flower, and over-sized checkered shoes, to go along with those buttons.
