I'm waiting for the FReepers who defend kids' rights to wear Confederate flag and pro-life t-shirts to show up and defend this girl.

Honestly, I don't have much problem with her. From what the article says when she was told this was inappropriate by her school, she complied with their ruling. My problem is with the other kids who've decided to turn this into a protest. Kids need to learn that rules exist to be obeyed. If you don't like them, work to change them.
Most schools here have uniforms - this one is unusual in not having one. It looks to me like these kids should be grateful for the amount of freedom their school gives them - not take a mile for every inch.

Here I is, Mr. Agitator....I do not want that "girl" to take off her shirt.
Happy now?

Im thrilled she's got the right to wear that t-shirt. Woohoo!

"Nobody knows I'm a lesbian"
Seems pretty mild to me. Not obscene. Not really provocative.
Not sure you can compare the two.

I don't care what she wears. As long as it doesn't incite a riot.

Wow, you waited a whole three minutes before *crickets* huh?
If she isn't violating the dress code, she has every right to wear the T-shirt. If she is violating the dress code she needs to not wear it. Real radical of me, huh? I guess I just want consistancy regardless of the political message. I guess I'm just a conservative.

Looking at her picture I'm sure only she herself thought that nobody knew she was a lesbian.
Interesting she didn't want her last name published.

If the shirt is not obscene, I think it's her right to wear it. But I would like to have seen one of the protesters wear a shirt saying, "Nobody knows I'm a southerner" with a confederate flag. Or "Nobody knows I believe in American exceptionalism".
I bet that would toast a few cookies.

Sure would have been entertaining to see at least one of the students wearing a CREATIVE shirt, something like "Nobody knows I'm illiterate," or "Nobody knows I'm anonymous."
Or my favorite "Nobody knows I'm not a lesbian."
Wonder what the school would have done about that latter one.

I'll defend her. She can wear what she wants if the school doesn't have a dress code. Just like the kids who wear the confederate flag shirts.
