Critical Free Speech Upheld

CBS News | Student Wins Anti-Bush Shirt Clash | December 13, 2005�21:34:07:
(AP) A Pennsylvania student is off the hook after the American Civil Liberties Union defended his right to wear a political T-shirt to school.

Chris Schiano's T-shirt said 'International Terrorist' and had a picture of President Bush.
Apparently Mr Schiano did his homework - for shock - and knew that the school had no legal right to stand on when it said he should remove the potentially critical clothing or go home.

Thankfully this means we're getting away from the crap from the last few years, where one can be considered unamerican if one dares to criticise or question any part of the current administration.

Now we just need more careful criticism.
