School officials found the shirt offensive and told him either to turn it inside out or face suspension.
Dalton opted for a three day suspension. He and his father say his shirt is a protected form of free speech.
Daxx Dalton said, "They're, um, taking away my right of freedom of speech. If I have the right to wear this shirt, I'm gonna use it."
Dann Dalton said, "The public school system, I mean, let's, let's be realistic. It's, it's full of, and you know liberal loons."
The school district's dress code policy bans any clothing that can cause a distraction in class.
Administrators say Dalton's shirt led to arguments and shouting matches on the playground and in the classroom.
