An eighth grader in West Virginia got suspended
and arrested last week for wearing an NRA shirt that depicted a hunting rifle underneath the words “protect your right” to school and then refusing to take it off after being confronted by a school official.
Jared Marcum, whose
record was spotless before the incident, now faces two charges of obstruction and disturbing the education process — whatever that means in Logan County — even though his contention that he never bore an aggressive or violent demeanor during the argument isn’t disputed by the school.
The school, Logan Middle, doesn’t prohibit gun imagery in its dress code. Marcum and his father, Allen Lardieri, say the faculty member in question is essentially violating Marcum’s 1st Amendment rights by censoring what he can say about his 2nd Amendment rights.
“I never thought it would go this far because, honestly, I don’t see a problem with this — there shouldn’t be a problem with this,” Marcum said.
