Eric VanHoven, then 18 years old and a student at Zeeland High School in Michigan, was expelled in 1998 after showing up to class wearing a Korn shirt. Gretchen Plewes, the assistant principal at the school, told a local newspaper that the shirt was "indecent, vulgar, obscene, and aims to be insulting," and that coming to school wearing one is no different from a person sporting a middle finger on their shirt.

Of course it didn't go well with the metal band who quickly jumped to the student's defense. Korn filed a lawsuit and a cease-and-desist order against Plewes and her school system, alleging that they violated their civil liberties and made defamatory remarks about Korn.

A written statement released by the band, Korn drummer David Silveria asked, "Where does an assistant principal get the right to preach her own morals and actually suspend a student?"

VanHoven's fellow schoolmates even planned a walkout in his support.

Now that's what you call idols caring about their fans, huh?
