Connecticut Teen Wins The Right To Wear Anti-Gay Shirt To School

Seth Groody won a battle to wear an anti-gay T-shirt to school on his high school's “Day of Silence”. The school supported his right to free speech, and now he's selling T-shirts to his classmates.

Seth Groody argued that it was well-within his rights to wear an anti-gay T-shirt on his school's "Day Of Silence" last April.

After the ACLU contacted the school and threatened to sue Wolcott High School for infringing Groody's freedom of speech, the school decided to allow Groody to wear the shirt.
