Reports: Fifth-grader suspended over anti-Obama shirt
You're probably correct he doesn't know but it's not beyond possibility. I assume he's had information directed at him by his father, whether he divulged that is unknown. Regardless of what it says, my point is that one should be allowed to wear what they want and not be punished for being peaceful, when you're not harming anyone, you've done nothing wrong. Perhaps a stretch but i think it could hold. I guess the limits come in with racism etc but arguably there should be no limits because we're in general principle a civilized society and can distinguinsh between right and wrong without government or authoritarian involvement or interference. This is a point which goes beyond the shirt, the key values here are liberty and freedom from domination of the state power telling the people what is in their best interest. Well, only ourselves can determine this, doing our own good in our own way. The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.
