How exactly is wearing a shirt that says boycott Israel distrptive, or obscene? The Supreme Court said that a shirt with a picture of bush with the words "International Terrorist" is ok to wear in public schools... (case in michigan) I own said shirt. I don't agree with the message, and I would never wear it (bought it for history reasons
), but it is still freedom of speech and expression, both guarded under the 1st ammendment, symbolic speech recieves the same protection as verbal speech (see Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines School District)
