Young Fan Wears Broncos Gear To School, Told To Wear Seahawks Gear

(CBS4) - A family in Tacoma, Washington says their 5-year-old granddaughter is a victim of discrimination because of her Broncos allegiance.

The 5-year-old girl participated in a dress down day at her elementary school last Friday. Students were allowed to ditch their uniforms and wear gear from their favorite team.

"Her teacher happens to be an avid Seahawks fan so she called her aside and told her that she was not allowed to wear her broncos dress, that if she didn't have a Seahawk shirt she had to wear her uniform," said Fawn Allen, the girl's grandmother.

The school district said the teacher misunderstood the casual Friday rules, and the girl will be able to wear her Broncos dress this Friday.
