School lifts ban on gay teen's shirt

For at least one day, a Waynesville teenager can go to school wearing a T-shirt with the slogan “Jesus Is Not A Homophobe.” Waynesville High School in Warren County agreed Wednesday to lift its ban on the shirt so Maverick Couch can wear it on April 20 to show support for the Day of Silence, a protest against the bullying of gay students. The agreement resolves a major dispute between school officials and Couch, but it does not end the case. The school did not agree to allow the shirt on other days, and Couch’s lawyers say he should be permitted to wear it to school any time.
