A South River, N.J., high school student was suspended for wearing a T-shirt promoting the latest album of Stryper, a Christian rock group. Officials at South River High School said Jamie Bollentin, 16, violated the school’s dress code by coming to school garbed in a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan, “To Hell With the Devil,†the title of the group’s latest album.
