Texas teen's suspension reduced after anti-gay remark

[The Northerner]

Dakota Ary, a 14-year-old high school freshman and honor student from Fort Worth, Texas, found himself in the national spotlight this week after he was given a three-day suspension from school for making an anti-homosexual comment in his German class.

With the help of a lawyer from Liberty Counsel, Ary's suspension was reduced to just one day of in-school suspension, and the school district has said no mark will be made on his permanent record, Reuters reports.

(Of course media attention ensures that the whole event will be on Ary's permanent Google record, but we digress.)

Ary's lawyer, Matthew Krause, said the suspension was unjustified and that Ary is entitled to express his opinion on homosexuality in school.

1. And I'm sure the Liberty Counsel will defend him when he beats up some gay student

I'm sure they'll say that bashing some gay kid's head is just a "healthy expression of his First Amendment rights". :grr:

2. No, I think they'll defend him under his right to swing his arms through the air ending ...

... when the life is choked out of a gay student.

I keep expecting to hear Rod Serling's voice.

3. Is this Liberty Council affiliated with Liberty University?
