Naperville Student Told Again Not to Wear Anti-gay T-shirt

A federal judge has once again ruled that a Neuqua Valley High School student cannot wear an anti-gay shirt to school that reads "Be Happy, Not Gay."

U.S. District Judge William Hart declined to issue a temporary injunction that would have ordered school officials to allow sophomore Alexander Nuxoll to wear the shirt this April as a protest to the National "Day of Silence" when students wear T-shirts, buttons and stickers showing support of gay students.

Nuxoll is one of two students who were told by their Naperville school that the t-shirt is discriminatory.  Nuxoll and Heidi Zamecnik had tried to wear the shirts in 2006.
