School officials have apologized for forcing a 16-year-old student to change out of a National Rifle Association T-shirt.

Haley Bullwinkle, a sophomore at Canyon High School in Orange County, Calif., arrived at school last month wearing a shirt that read “National Rifle Association of America — Protecting America’s Traditions Since 1971.” It depicted a picture of an American flag and a hunter with a rifle, according to local outlet KTLA-TV.

However, upon walking in the door, a campus official demanded that she change or face disciplinary action. School officials told her the shirt violated the school’s dress code, the Los Angeles Times reports.

After complaining to the school, Bullwinkle’s parents were told the school does not clothing that depicts violence. Still, Bullwinkle and her parents felt that her constitutional rights were dishonored.

“I felt like they were violating my rights, my freedom of speech,” the sophomore told the Los Angeles Times. “I want to be able to wear what I want to wear within reason.”
