An Oregon high school student who sued his school district after administrators said he couldn't wear a pro-Trump border wall T-shirt will be given a written apology and $25,000 in a settlement.

Liberty High School senior Addison Barnes,18, was suspended earlier this year after he refused to cover up his “Donald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.” shirt.

The shirt -- which also features a 2016 Trump quote: “The wall just got 10 feet taller.” -- was worn by Barnes in his “People and Politics” class on a day where immigration would be discussed.

Barnes sued his school, the Hillsboro School District and Principal Greg Timmons, claiming his First Amendment rights had been violated.

Good. Serves them right.

I would have insisted as part of the settlement that they publish the written apology in all the local papers as well so people KNOW what kind of BS the school pulled.

The school district settled. That means it didn't go to court.

Welcome to our government run, failing, schools.

Good for this kid for sticking to his “guns”... but it’s really just the taxpayers ponying up for these morons stupidity.

Perhaps we can get this guy to Fl for a pay per view cage match with that 90 lb weakling kid?

And completely wreck another promising Yute?!?

Why you such a masochist, bro?

How ironic he had to sue "Liberty" high school over this.

In the libs world, only libs have the right of freedom of expression. Good for this young man for standing up for his rights. The judge should have forced the school principal to wear the shirt he found offensive for a week at school.

Nah. It ain't right. The taxpayers had to foot the bill for the people that made him gave him the problem. This is like making everyone suffer a punishment when one screws up and won't fess up. Like it was done in school. "okay, who threw that spitball? Now, since there are no confessors everyone must write 'I will not throw spitballs in school.'"
