Katie Sierra is a 15-year-old tenth grader in Charleston, West Virginia. She's become the subject of national media attention after her high school suspended her for anti-war sentiments and her desire to start a student anarchist club.
She was suspended for three days in October for defying school orders not to form an anarchy club or wear T-shirts that include slogans opposing the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan.
The handwritten message on the T-shirt that got her in trouble read:

When I saw the dead and dying Afghani children on TV, I felt a newly recovered sense of national security. God Bless America.
