On Tuesday, a federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against Liberty High School, preventing the school from enforcing a ban on one student's pro-Trump shirt that reads, “Donald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.”

The student, 18-year-old Addison Barnes, sued the school district, claiming it violated the First Amendment after it suspended him for revealing the shirt. The shirt featured President Trump's warning that the southern border wall “just got 10 feet taller.”

Vice Principal Amanda Ryan-Fear reportedly told Barnes that he had to cover the shirt, which she said offended at least one student and teacher at the high school. He initially complied but later revealed his shirt, prompting the school to suspend him.

“I thought to myself, 'You know this isn't right, this is my First Amendment right to be able to wear this shirt,'” Barnes reportedly said.

Barnes, who only has days left as a senior at the school, will now be able to wear the shirt before he graduates, according to The Oregonian.

“There's not enough to go on here to show that sort of legitimate concern justifying censorship of this core political speech,” Judge Michael W. Mosman said.

Barnes' attorney argued that his shirt didn't contain a “disruptive” message and therefore didn't fall under the school's policy against those types of phrases.

The school district complained that Barnes' shirt would make students, 33 percent of whom were Hispanic, feel insecure.

“This particular school district has a population that is one-third Hispanic,” attorney Peter Mersereau said. In response, Mosman asked: “So First Amendment protections vary from high school to high school?”

I know plenty of Hispanics that want legal immigration and our laws enforced who are also for the wall.

Seems the school is acting racist by assuming if you are Hispanic, you must be against Trump and the wall.

I'm one of those. Build the dang wall! Yesterday in El Paso's Lower Valley there was a protest against the wall. I didn't go, ha, ha, too hot and too stupid of an idea.

For some reason, large numbers of people can't understand that there is a difference between immigrants and illegal immigrants. They assume that if you want secure borders and decent vetting, then you are anti immigration.

Saw an ad on Facebook selling those shirts. It said "if you build it, they WON'T come"
