PORTLAND, OR – KGW news reported a fifth grade student was expelled from a Portland school this week for wearing a Jesus T-shirt.
“He’s been warned several times for wearing this T-shirt,” the Jefferson Elementary school principal said. “Our school has many Muslims, atheists, wiccans and others of different beliefs who find his T-shirt deeply offensive. He can’t continue to disrupt our peaceful learning environment.”

His father, John Mason, started a prayer group outside the school in protest.

“We hope Jesus will change the school’s anti-Jesus policy. And is this fair? I see kid’s wearing shirts with satanic skulls, demons and even Miley Cyrus on them. What are Christians being singled out?”
Mason plans to keep the prayer marathon going until the school board allows his son to wear his Jesus T-shirt.
“My buddies said they’d keep praying with me. We’re gonna take shifts. At least three of us will be praying outside that unholy school at all times. With our prayers, Jesus will get his Jesus T-shirt back in that school.”
