From the AP:
An openly gay teenager received a $30,000 settlement from the city over her suspension for wearing a “Barbie is a Lesbian” T-shirt to school, her attorney announced Thursday. . . .
[The girl’s] lawyer, Ron Kuby, filed the federal suit last June, alleging the incident was part of a series of discriminatory incidents.
Resolving the suit without litigation was “the appropriate decision,” city lawyer Donna M. Kasbohm said. The city Department of Education agreed to establish a policy on student dress as part of the deal.
