Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Texas

Hi, my name is Spencer and I am a freshman in high school. I recently wore a Tie Dye bandanna with smiley faces on it around my head at school, protesting the unfair judgement of homosexuals in the school district I am. I was told to either take off the bandanna, or go into in school suspension. Is there any way I can challenge this rule to be able to wear it? Thanks!

Doubtful. Schools have a lot of authority to set rules regarding dress code at school. Banning hats, bandanas, etc. are extremely common dress code rules for schools. Perhaps you could find a different way to raise awareness regarding the district's conduct, such as forming a student organization or convincing your school paper to run a story.
