(AgapePress) - A Christian student is asking his Boone, North Carolina, high school to apologize for censoring his opposition to a pro-homosexual event on campus.
Watauga High School in Boone recently gave 17-year-old Mark Austin a one-day suspension for wearing a T-shirt inscribed with Bible verses and the words, "Homosexuality is sin, hell is real, Jesus is the answer! Shout for joy!"
Principal Gary Childers told Austin the shirt violated a school policy that prohibits clothing that is "offensive to another gender." But Austin says God convicted him to speak out against the school's participation in the recent annual homosexual "Day of Silence" because there is "a shortage of Christian boldness in this nation."
