The AP reports on the Chicago Tribune:
Nuxoll and one-time student Heidi Zamecnik, who wore a similar T-shirt to school in 2006, filed a lawsuit saying their civil rights had been violated. Indian Prairie Unit District 204 later said the students could wear a T-shirt that read “Be Happy, Be Straight,” but the students refused. Last year, a judge ruled against them.
Zamecnik has since graduated. On Friday, the federal appeals court in Chicago heard arguments from attorneys in Nuxoll’s case.
The Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative Christian litigation group representing the students, said they should be allowed to express their views.
