An Illinois father wants a school district to reconsider its dress code after his son was asked
to remove a U.S. Marines T-shirt or be suspended, FoxNews.com has learned.
Daniel
McIntyre, 44, of Genoa, told FoxNews.com that his 14-year-old son, Michael, was asked to remove the T-shirt by eighth-grade
teacher Karen Deverell during reading class at Genoa-Kingston Middle School on Monday. Deverell, citing the school’s
dress code, said the garment’s interlocking rifles was problematic and had to be removed from sight, McIntyre said.
“My son is very proud of the Marines, and, in fact, of all the services,” McIntyre said. “So
he wears it with pride. There are two rifles crossed underneath the word ‘Marines’ on the shirt, but to me that
should be overlooked. It’s more about the Marines instead of the rifles.”
