A Georgia family is under fire for allowing a seventh grader to wear a T-shirt that mocked CNN on a school field trip to the liberal network’s Atlanta headquarters.

Fox News reports, a teacher made the boy remove the shirt before the tour. The boy's parents think the school violated the First Amendment by making their son take it off.

Nancy and Stan Jester, of Dekalb, say their son, seventh-grader Jaxon, wore a shirt mocking the CNN logo as “FNN” with the caption, “Fake News Network.”

“This year when the CNN tour was announced, my 7th grade son Jaxon asked me if he could purchase an FNN-Fake News Network shirt to wear for his field trip,” Stan Jester wrote in a blog post. “As an advocate for the First Amendment, I agreed to his request.”

The Jester’s are asking the teacher to apologize to their son.
