McALLISTER, Senior Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
When a few students noticed the button which appellant was wearing, and asked him “what it said,” appellant’s explanation resulted only in a casual reaction; and there was no indication that the wearing of the button would disrupt the work and discipline of the school.
I am of the opinion that the judgment of the district court should be reversed and the case dismissed upon the authority of Tinker v. Des Moines Independent School District, 393 U.S. 503, 89 S.Ct. 733, 21 L.Ed.2d 731 (1969).
