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.

I only wish they would do just that . If the curriculum were so straightforward we would more than likely not be having this discussion. The environment in the schools has become such that there exist deep divisions . These are not social or economic but divisions in thinking.They are only making their identity known to those who are like minded.Not necessarily seeking to offend These divisions have been if not created by the present curriculum at least encouraged.

The kid wouldn't be wearing the shirt if he wasn' being taught and exposed to the opposite. He came with a message on a tee-shirt. History...Ahh yes, that would include American history, including the 1st Amendment's protection of Free speech. It would also include socialist countries use of uniforms and sanctions to force conformity. This time the court stood up for what's right. In contrast, it did not when it came down upholding the campaign rules.
