[DAILYCALLER] It’s time to crown a new savage for 2017. This time, it’s seventh grader Jaxon Jester of Dekalb, Georgia. This week, Jackson’s school went on a field trip to CNN’s Atlanta headquarters but he wasn’t too jazzed about it. So he wore a shirt making fun of CNN’s logo with the letters “FNN” and “fake news network” underneath.Fortunately for CNN but very unfortunately for Jaxon, his school mandated he take the shirt off to participate in the field trip.
The Jesters were unhappy about this decision – and rightfully so. They claim it violated their son’s First Amendment rights.
Peachtree Charter Middle School later issued an apology to the Jesters but the damage was done. The town of Dekalb was ablaze with debate and online forums fervently discussed the ethics of the matter. Many people actually defended the school’s censorship and claimed it was the Jester’s responsibility to curb their kid’s political views.
