  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!)
The teacher wearing this shirt is highly inappropriate for a public school. The principal was right in this situation as she cannot openly express her political or religious opinions as an educator in a schooling environment. There is a clear separation of church and state and if she does wish to be able to wear this shirt in school then perhaps she should consider teaching at a private school of her chosen religion.
