Zyliah is a 5-year-old who happens to like the Broncos. Her teacher is a Seahawks fan who apparently doesn’t like seeing little kids supporting teams other than the Seahawks. According to KDVR in Denver, Zyliah was told last week that she wasn’t allowed to wear her Broncos dress on “Blue Friday.”

“She walked up to me and I knew something was wrong,” Zyliah’s grandmother Fawn Allen told KDVR. “She just kind of put her head down and said, ‘Grandma, Ms. Watson told me I can’t wear my Broncos dress. If I don’t have a Seahawks shirt, I have to wear my uniform.’”
Luckily, the principal and the school district quickly cleared up the matter. The principal told the family students can wear whatever team apparel they want on “Blue Friday.”
The Tacoma School District even released a statement clarifying the situation: “The teacher didn’t understand the full scope of what ‘Blue Friday’ means and sought clarification from the principal. ‘Blue Friday’ means all teachers and students can wear gear from whatever team they want.”
