So I was correct - you managed to answer my direct questions with only a question.

“Do you think the Founding Fathers wrote the First Amendment with t-shirts and belt buckles in mind? Or do you think that MAYBE it was meant to cover speaking against the government without fear of reprisal?” - DJMWW

Yes, I do think the founders intended for free speech to include messages printed on t-shirts, belt buckles and the like. Political speech is covered no matter what form it takes.

Care to actually answer my question to you above, or are you still going to avoid it?

WHAT is your problem?! I don't believe this to be a First Amendment issue. I see a brat that was told "no" by authority and he rebeled. Yeah, let's teach him not to respect any authority. Then we wonder why our schools are a mess and kids run the show.

And you demean the message and intent of the First Amendment by applying it to something frivolous. The kid lived in an area that did not vote for secession and sided with the north but he has a right to play Johnny Reb. Give me a break!
