A San Diego, California, high school has reportedly expunged the suspension of a student who had posted pro\u2013Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posters on campus.<\/p>\n

According to an April 1st<\/sup> statement by the Foundation for Individual Rights Expression (FIRE), who took up the student\u2019s case, the Torrey Pines High School student posted flyers in common areas reading, \u201cWe \u2764\ufe0f I.C.E. \u2013 Real Americans.\u201d The school claimed the posters constituted \u201charassment\u201d and \u201cintimidation,\u201d even though it had allowed anti-ICE posters containing vulgar language.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cSchool administrator\u2019s can\u2019t pick and choose which opinions students are allowed to express,\u201d said FIRE Supervising Senior Attorney Conor Fitzpatrick. \u201cVoicing an opinion which makes others upset is not \u2018harassment\u2019 or \u2018intimidation,\u2019 it is American democracy in action.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The organization pointed to the fact that a couple weeks prior, hundreds of students engaged in a peaceful mid-school-day walkout in protest of ICE and immigration enforcement policy, in which students held posters with messages including \u201cF*** ICE,\u201d \u201cICE is KKK spelled differently,\u201d and \u201cIf You\u2019re an I.C.E. Agent Ya Mom\u2019s a Hoe!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The student told Fox News Digital<\/em> that he wanted to provide an opposing view to the one shared by the majority of people at the school.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI believe in ICE\u2019s mission and I think we should enforce our immigration laws,\u201d he said. \u201cI also wanted to provide an opposing view to the anti-ICE opinions that the majority of students, teachers, and administrators at Torrey Pines seem to have and often share. I wanted to show students that the issue isn\u2019t one-sided and that their opinions are common and matter, too.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Two days after posting the flyers, he was called into the assistant principal\u2019s office and was told his signs were \u201cunacceptable,\u201d \u201cfighting words,\u201d \u201cincendiary\u201d and \u201cdehumanizing,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The outlet also reported that he found the punishment frustrating as anti-ICE demonstrators using harsher language during their walkout were not similarly penalized, according to his knowledge.<\/p>\n

Lawyer up, @TorreyPinesHS<\/a> <\/p>\n

A student who carried a sign on school property saying
\u201cIf you\u2019re an ICE agent, your mom\u2019s a HOE\u201d wasn\u2019t suspended.<\/p>\n

But a student who posted a piece of paper saying
\u201cWe \u2764\ufe0f ICE ~ Real Americans\u201d was suspended for “so incites pupils as to create a clear\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/JlCkepwneJ<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt made me feel like the school wants to punish me and silence me just because administrators think my views are wrong,\u201d the student stated. \u201cI\u2019m glad the other students were allowed to share their anti-ICE views, but I have every [bit as] much right as they do to share my own. It felt especially unfair because some of their signs used swear words and other epithets while mine was very tame.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\u00a0\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The student also didn\u2019t see how his poster was considered harassment or intimidating. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI never bothered anyone or did anything disruptive. All I did was quietly post some flyers,\u201d the student said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In a statement to the outlet, the school district maintained that the student was not suspended over political beliefs. It also said it cannot speak publicly about student discipline issues due to privacy laws.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe San Dieguito Union High School District has not and does not discipline students because of their political viewpoints,\u201d school officials said. \u201cThe District supports students\u2019 rights to express their viewpoints while also maintaining school campuses that are safe, orderly, and respectful environments for everyone.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNevertheless, we note that schools do have rules that govern student conduct and campus safety, including policies that prohibit discrimination and harassment. The District applies these rules fairly and impartially to help provide and ensure a safe learning environment for all students.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The school agreed to expunge the suspension from the student\u2019s record following representation by FIRE, according to the organization\u2019s statement. <\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased the school has erased the suspension and will be watching closely to ensure the school respects its students\u2019 First Amendment rights,\u201d Fitzpatrick said. \u201cThe law is clear: Public schools must allow students to peacefully express their political opinions.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

FIRE also recently took on a separate case of a high school student whose editorial cartoon criticizing ICE was censored by their school\u2019s administration. <\/p>\n
