A May 14 federal complaint says Clark County School District unlawfully suspended and later limited-expelled a student after he posted six pro-law-enforcement emblems at East Career and Technical Academy in January.
The suit says administrators removed the 2-by-2-inch signs before first bell, then cited Chromebook searches and labeled the display a "racially motivated incident" because most students at the school are Hispanic.
N.C.'s father, George Crossman, alleges officials punished his son's pro-ICE message while allowing and facilitating an anti-ICE walkout the previous day, making the discipline viewpoint discrimination and retaliation under the First Amendment.
The lawsuit names the district, the school, Superintendent Jhone Ebert, Principal Natasha LeRutte and Assistant Principal Thomas Smith, and seeks a jury trial, damages above $15,000, and rescission of the expulsion.
Clark County School District said it recognizes students' First Amendment rights to lawful advocacy and expression but would not comment on pending litigation.
