Boy Suspended For Wearing Shirt Saying, "Obama Is A Terrorist's Best Friend"

Comment from Robyn-This stuff always seems to happen here. They always seem to Suspend first and ask questions later. My opinion is that if the Dad want to wear the shirt to exert his First Amendment rights fine but don't push that on an eleven year old. My humble opinion.

Aurora, CO (AHN) - A fifth grader in Colorado has been suspended for wearing a shirt that read, "Obama is a terrorist's best friend," according to MyFox Colorado.

Eleven-year-old Daxx Dalton was suspended by officials at Aurora Frontier K-8 School for wearing the homemade shirt. Students had been asked to go to school wearing red, white and blue to show their patriotism.

Dalton's father, who describes himself as a "proud conservative," plans to sue the district for violating his son's First Amendment rights.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL), the first African-American presidential candidate of a major party, has been fighting back persistent rumors that he is a radical Muslim. During the primary season, a photo of him in 2006 wearing traditional Somali dress during a visit to Kenya was widely circulated on the Internet.
