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?
Not at all. I'm very glad to see teens who are passionate about Christ and morality. But that doesn't mean that it is always appropriate to wear a t-shirt expressing those views. If this boy's shirt is allowed at school then there is no reason to ban pro-gay or pro-abortion shirts, or even just plain vulgar shirts. It's not hard to imagine what a distracting learning environment this could lead to at the school. Leave the t-shirts at home and spend the time and energy on teaching math, English, science, and history instead.
