You trumpettes are nuts.

The ACLU is supporting this student's Constitutional rights, and they would not be considered "Trumpettes" by any stretch of the imagination.

A school can have a uniform policy that would not be considered a violation of the First Amendment. For example, if all students were required to wear school uniforms, and then if a student were to wear a t-shirt instead of the uniform, he or she could be suspended and it would be very likely that the courts would rule in favor of the school. In cases where t-shirts with messages are allowed, however, it is considered a suppression of free speech if they allow some messages and not others. The courts have ruled that there are some exceptions to free speech, but it is unlikely that they would consider the message of this particular t-shirt as meeting the qualifications of those exceptions.

IMO, the First Amendment is the most important amendment in the Constitution and the rights it provides sets the US apart from most other nations.
