West Virginia teen Jared Marcum, who was arrested for wearing a pro-Second-Amendment T-shirt to school came back with 100 of his closest friends:<\/p>\n
Jared, a student at Logan Middle School, was arrested and suspended Thursday after he was pulled from a cafeteria line and told to remove or turn his shirt inside-out an order he refused.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still confused, thoroughly confused,\u201d he told a local TV station. \u201cThe school didn\u2019t even make a statement to the news agencies, much less myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The schools did what they always do; demand unthinking conformity and enforce it with unreasonable fury – a day’s suspension and an arrest.<\/p>\n
Marcum points out that while he was arrested for being disorderly, the evidence tells another story:<\/p>\n
School officials told the eighth-grader Monday that his one-day suspension was appropriate because he was being disruptive.<\/span><\/p>\n
Mr. White said Jared was exercising his right to free speech and did not disrupt anything.<\/p>\n
Video evidence in the case, Mr. White said, indicates that the situation in the cafeteria deteriorated when a teacher raised his voice while confronting Jared. Other students jumped up on benches and began chanting Jared\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the disruption came from the teacher,\u201d Mr. White said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Can’t wait for that video to get released on Youtube.<\/p>\n
Marcum went back to school along with 100 fellow students who also wore Second Amendment t-shirts paid for by a local pro-human-rights group.<\/p>\n
