The Albemarle County School Board's interpretation and enforcement of dress code against a sixth-grader at Jack Jouett Middle School garnered enough national attention to be named on the Thomas Jefferson Center for Protection of Free Expression's annual "Jefferson Muzzles" list.
The Center awards the muzzles to government agents or private entities in an effort to "call attention to some of the more ridiculous or egregious affronts to free expression in the previous year," according to a Center press release.
The Center ranked the Albemarle County School Board fourth out of 13 award winners for making the student wearing an "NRA shooting Sports Camp" T-shirt inside out "despite the fact that it caused no disruption to the school activities," according to the release.
U.S. District Judge Miram Goldman Cedarbaum topped the list for "excluding the press and public from jury selection in the Martha Stewart trial" this past year.
