AHA Legal Center Gets “Bad Religion” T-Shirt Ban Overturned
An Aurora, CO public school has reversed course following intervention by the AHA’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center, allowing a student at Vista Peak High School to wear a shirt for the punk band Bad Religion.
Despite allowing students to wear religious articles of clothing, it claimed that allowing the student to wear the shirt would be disruptive.
In a letter found here, the legal center made clear that this double standard violated the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Special thanks to the Louis J. Appignani Foundation and The Herb Block Foundation for their support of the Appignani Humanist Legal Center.
