A high school student in Texas we kicked out of school for wearing a John Edwards for President 2008 t-shirt. The school district dress code states that students can’t wear political slogans on t-shirts. The student doesn’t believe there is anything wrong with wearing a political shirt to school. The only t-shirts are allowed on school campus must be related to school clubs, organizations, sports, spirit, college, or just a plain colored t-shirt. The parents believe the policy inhibits free speech but as we have mentioned in many of our other articles at banshirts.com that students don’t have full free speech when at school. Of course student officials claim that the dress code policy of t-shirts is to maintain a safe and orderly environment and gives the power of school officials to make judgment calls on each t-shirt.
