School officials originally censored Sara, claiming they were concerned for her safety. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Sara did not experience any threats of violence. They said Sara routinely wore the t-shirt last school year without any problems.

Hoover High School Principal, Don Hulin, released this statement Wednesday afternoon saying: “At Hoover High School, we have a tradition and practice of respecting the rights of students to exercise all of their constitutional entitlements. We are fortunate to have a diversified student body and we work very diligently to encourage a culture of tolerance and understanding. In the tradition of the United States Supreme Court case, Tinker v. Des Moines, students at Hoover High School exercise their First Amendment rights without restriction unless such expression disrupts the learning environment or disabuses the rights of others. Our dress code at Hoover High School is designed to facilitate the learning environment that is so important to our school. The t-shirt at issue has not caused a substantial disruption and the student will be allowed to wear it. Our focus has been and will be on the learning environment at Hoover High School.”

Sam Wolfe, an attorney with Southern Poverty Law Center says it’s a victory. “We're very pleased with the quick resolution and admire Sara and her courage for taking a stand in what she believes and seeing a sophomore in high school can even make a difference.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center says there will now be no need for any lawsuit
