Update 11/2/2023 – After review, the student was allowed to wear the shirt without punishment.
The National Coalition Against Censorship has written to the principal of Framingham High School after receiving reports that the school forced a student to remove a shirt that expressed support for Palestine.
We understand that in some schools, the student’s shirts may indeed create a risk for substantial disruption, however, we urge the school to ensure that they have taken all possible steps to prevent disruption without resorting to censoring unpopular speech.
