Holmes County, FL -- This week, a judge will decide if a Holmes County High School is violating a student's right to free speech.

Heather Gillman, a junior at Ponce De Leon High School, is suing the school's principal and the Holmes County School Board.

Gillman says the school forbids students from wearing clothing or putting stickers on their books that show support for the fair treatment of gays and lesbians. 

According to court documents, Gillman says the school is violating her First Amendment rights. The school says such language is disruptive.

Gillman is asking the court order the school to change its policy.

The trial begins Monday at the federal courthouse in Panama City.
