I agree 100%. I think schools should ban any clothing with writing on it. Political messages are usually provocative and certainly distracting, even when you agree with them. Kids in school do not need any more added distractions. It would be so much easier to say no clothes with any slogans instead of getting into these lengthy and expensive court battles over a t-shirt.

The battles are not over tee-shirts. These are beliefs these young people are forming. The court battles only weaken the resolve of those who are not committed yet to keep their view silent. Is this the desired result? No one should disagree with the current trend?

The core issue here is not writing on t-shirts. It's about free expression, political correctness, and the growing-by-the-day insistence of the left that they have a RIGHT not to be OFFENDED. Political correctness is 100% about silencing opposition to the liberal viewpoint, and I'm thrilled to see it slapped down for once.

The provocation is more with the teachers and administrators in the pork-barrel public school system. If you take the T-shirts away from the students, you take away the one and only effective means to combat the former Students for a Democratic Society, the 1960's college communists now in control of our schools. In your face slogans are a tactic the Left uses effectively. The Right should be accorded the same right. Bravo for the judge.
