The mother of an Oklahoma students says school officials have apologized after a principal made her son take off his “Black Lives Matter” t-shirt.
The ACLU of Oklahoma gave Deer Creek Public Schools two days to meet demands, holding them accountable for what they called First Amendment violations.
The organization called for a retraction of the principal’s letter and an apology. They also wanted a reversal in any disciplinary actions, an investigation into reports that a student was told to take off his shirt and an investigation into reports of racism within the district.
ACLU officials say the district has done some of the things they’ve asked, and they’ve done enough to show the district is willing “to do the right thing.”
