Maybe that f’n teacher and heartless school should come to the hospital my son and his Bronco Brothers are at and see the PAIN they are in and see that Jersey Day helped with that pain. You Heartless asses. #strasstrong
The teen was given a choice: either replace the jersey with a school-approved polo shirt or accept a suspension from class.
He chose to go home.
