Do you think I could start a charity that sends free T-shirts to high schoolers that say things like "no gods, no masters" "trans rights are humans rights"?
Most high schools where this is needed have rules against messages on tee-shirts.
Free speech doesn’t end inside the school door. Pretty hard for a school to ban messages on school shirts.
Thanks for the contribution. I don't dispute that, but you understand how that might not be enough to make a t-shirt distribution activity effective or protected. Most parents won't be willing to go judicial on their school districts over this.
But hey, I'd love to be wrong about it. I'm a notoriously bad futurologist.
I think it would be pretty textbook for the ACLU. Owasso is bigger as far as Oklahoma goes. There’s already a lot of national attention drawn to what’s going - and schools are absolutely more terrified about lawsuits than they are dress code. I literally couldn’t do anything about middle schoolers in Coors Light and Playboy shirts (girl wore weed pajamas every fucking day too)
Well, great! Sign me up!
Most high schools in those states, I'd imagine, have rules about bullying and walking out of class, and I'm quite sure all of those states have laws about murder.
