Here's how the Huffington Post spun the story..... get the part in bold....apparent fetus! Now we know the term fetus is their choice of words because they dare not say baby even though everyone knows that fetus is Latin for offspring or young one...now it is only an apparent fetus. And of course the shirt was not pro life, it was anti abortion. Eye roll time. Read back story here.
FRESNO, Calif. — A California school district sued by a former sixth-grade student who was asked to remove an anti-abortion T-shirt has agreed to pay $50,000 to settle the suit.
Attorneys for Tiffany Amador said Friday that officials at Merced's McSwain Union Elementary School called the T-shirt disruptive when she wore it in April 2008.
The shirt showed pictures of an apparent fetus and said "ABORTION: growing... growing... gone."
Los Angeles attorney William Becker says the resolution amounted to a victory for free speech rights in schools.
But Anthony DeMaria, the school district's attorney, says the settlement helped avoid a costly trial. The district admitted no wrongdoing.
McSwain implemented a new dress code policy this school year that prohibits most graphic T-shirts.
