Student wins right to wear 'Straight Pride' T-shirt to school
A student in the US has won the right to wear a T-shirt saying he's straight.
Elliott Chamber's shirt has the words 'Straight Pride' and a drawing of a stick man and woman holding hands.
Teachers at the sixth-class student's school in St Paul, Minnesota, told him to remove it because it offended a group of gay students.
Chamber wore it in protest at what he said was the school's promotion of homosexuality.
Judge Donovan Frank said the school went beyond its powers and infringed his right to free speech under the First Amendment.
Elliot Chamber complained about the school setting up 'safe zones' for gays advertised with posters marked with an inverted pink triangle, the emblem of the Gay Pride movement.
Judge Frank said: "Maintaining a school community of tolerance includes the tolerance of such viewpoints."
