Last year she was reprimanded for wearing an “I love boobies” bracelet in support of breast cancer awareness, she said. It’s not the first time her daughter has been the target of school officials, she said. Still, West truly thinks Tori was pulled out of school because the controversial top, which she says is simply showing how proud Tori is to be from Virginia.
School administrators for Melvin Kreps Middle School in East Windsor, NJ have previously claimed that 14-year-old Tori Albrecht was not suspended for wearing the Confederate Flag hoodie (and instead suggested she was removed from the school for another matter), but did say the school had a right to remove a student if the child is disruptive. So the next step is obviously threatening a lawsuit: Jane West tells the Times of Trenton that she wants 'the school to formally apologize to her daughter, rescind her suspension and grant the teen permission to attend school outside the district.' West warns, 'If I can’t get those things I’m suing.' A NJ mother is extremely unhappy about the hubbub over her middle schooler's suspension, which she believes is related to her child's Confederate Flag clothing.
