     New York City public schools will allow students to wear clothes with political slogans after settling a lawsuit with a teen-age girl who was suspended for wearing a T-shirt that said "Barbie is a Lesbian," her lawyer said on Thursday.

　　"Students in the nation's largest school district will now have the First Amendment right to wear T-shirts and armbands that express controversial political views," attorney Ronald Kuby said. Some 1.1 million students attend New York City public schools.

　　The city also agreed to pay $30,000 to Kuby's client, 15-year-old Natalie Young, a lesbian who was sent to the principal's office in April 2002 when she showed up at her school in the Queens borough wearing her "Barbie is a Lesbian" T-shirt.

　　She refused to change and was suspended for the day and threatened with further suspension if she wore it again.

　　Her mother sued the city over her right to express her views. "I felt there was nothing wrong with it," Young said as she held up the T-shirt during a news conference.
