This is mind boggling.
14-year-old at the center of "NRA T-Shirt Controversy" now facing possibility of 1 year in jail starts with:
----------
Suspended and arrested after refusing to change his NRA shirt. Today, 14-year-old Jared Marcum appeared before a judge and was officially charged with obstructing an officer.
A $500 fine and up to a year in jail, that's the penalty that Jared could face, now that a judge has allowed the prosecution to move forward with it's obstructing an officer charge against him.
----------
The court documents say the policeman is upset that Jared wouldn't stop talking. Imagine that a 14-year-old boy in a stressful situation. Maybe he is nervous. Doesn't seem like a year in jail is the right response. I am surprised the judge let this continue.
I am so glad we homeschool. Our children can wear whatever shirts we allow. We don't have to worry about the capriciousness of others.
