  Case: I Love Jesus
For three consecutive Fridays, a public school first grade teacher has worn a tee-shirt that states in bold letters "I Love Jesus." When the school principal asks the teacher to not wear religious inscriptions on her apparel again, the teacher states that just because she is entering a school as an employee, her civil rights cannot be stripped away. She threatens a suit against the principal. Does the principal or teacher have legal grounds for his/her assertions?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Wearing this shirt is completely inappropriate, as it goes against the ethics of sharing ones religious affiliations with students. The principal definitely has legal grounds while the teacher does not. It would be best that the teacher ceases to wear the shirt and follows the ethics code on this issue.
