Marcum's stepfather, Allen Lardieri, said the youth was waiting in line in the school cafeteria Thursday when a teacher ordered the eighth-grader to remove the T-shirt or to turn it inside out.
Marcum said he was sent to the office where he again refused the order.
Like any who exercise their rights he will get his day in court, and we will see if he had a lawful right to disobey a school authority, TWICE. That is what led to escalated actions. That is the process, let it work.

Logan County Schools' dress code, which is posted on the school system's website, prohibits clothing and accessories that display profanity, violence, discriminatory messages or sexually suggestive phrases.
Clothing displaying advertisements for any alcohol, tobacco, or drug product also is prohibited.
Their lawyer, Ben White, said that the T-shirt did not appear to violate any school policy.
The school says it does, the 8th graders lawyer says it doesn't. We will see.
