  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!)
First of all no court in their right mind would back the teacher. The teacher does have her constitutional Rights, But, the Constitution also states "Separation of Church And State" and this took place in a public school which receives public funding and as a result is part of the state. If you think about it you wouldn't be able to wear a shirt that says I hate Jesus either, it works both ways. So, no the teacher has no right to wear the shirt and the principal has the right to confront here as he did.
