Lady Gaga has praised a fan who was banned from school for wearing a T-shirt with the slogan ‘I love Lady Gay Gay’.

Administrators at Greenbrier High School in Tennessee claimed Cole Goforth’s clothing was disrupting other pupils, and the singer posted a message to him on her Twitter account.

“Thank u for wearing your tee-shirt proud at school, you make me so proud, at the monsterball, you are an inspiration to us all. I love you. X

“Been in the studio for days and hours of record after record, and when I hear that a little monster was discriminated against* BY TEACHERS. It reminds me of my commitment + love for u, and the deep unconditional devotion I feel to write music that will liberate you from prejudice.

“I love you cole, you just be yourself. You’re perfect the way God made you. (sic)�

In my district, you aren't allowed to wear shirts with any kind of slogans on it - politically correct or not. How is it where you live? Do public schools have clothing requirements forced upon the children?
