I can't figure you out lately. Freedom of speech does not extend to schools. This is established. A shirt like that is going to raise tensions and instigate problems. You know it, I know it, the kid knew it, and the kid intended it. Anyone who wears political garbage to school knows it and intends for it to happen. A school has every right to determine what is and isn't allowed in student attire.

Wow, you should catch up on 100 years of jurisprudence about the rights of students to free speech on campus.

“It can hardly be argued that either Teachers or Students shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech and expression at the schoolhouse gate.” - USSC, TInker v Des Moines, 1969

Even Justice Harlan, writing in the dissent, said that he would agree with the majority when the reason fro suppression was, "for example, a desire to prohibit the expression of an unpopular point of view, while permitting expression of the dominant opinion."

Public Schools are limited in their application of the reasonableness test, and we both know this t-shirt doesn't fail that test except in the unhinged minds of school administrators. They know it too, that's why they ran like scalded dogs to undo the punitive action against the student.
“An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato
