A high school student in Oregon has won a $25,000 settlement after suing administrators over a T-shirt he wore to school.

Administrators at Liberty High School told senior Addison Barnes, 18, that he had to cover up a shirt he was wearing that said “Donald J. Trump Border Wall Construction Co.” The shirt also featured a quote by President Donald Trump from 2016: “The wall just got 10 feet taller.”
