The freshman at Nandua High School, William Norman, said that the teacher had asked him to redo his ceramic hand sculpture a day before it was due. The hand sculpture had the words “Robert E. Lee, history not hate” painted on it.
The teacher was initially in support of the design, but had apparently changed her mind a few days later.
The school then informed Norman that he would receive an F if he did not change his project. He refused to change it.
