I agree that this may not be about the NRA , bill of rights or even a shirt .It's about being able to say no to someone that ask you to do something that has no legal , moral or ethical foundation . Am I hearing people saying if a teacher tells you to do something you must comply no matter what ?

I can't imagine anyone saying that , so where is the great line in the sand that we all can see and reference . IMO the teacher was wrong to ask him to remove and or what ever the shirt . There fore any and all things that happened after was a result of the teachers actions making the disruption the fault of the teacher .
