          Anyone can say anything they want at any time. What people forget is that words may come with consequences.

          Schools must have rules for a number of reasons, mainly because they are full of kids. Dress codes for schools apply across all students and must not discriminate. So, if a school has a rule that any words can’t be on shirts, no child can have words on their shirt.

          Here is a breakdown for you: https://www.freedomforum.org/school-dress-codes/

          What you are talking about has been in the courts a number of times.

                What we are saying is that you can say anything you want but there should be reasonable limits.

                Freedom of speech covers most opinions and ideas except when words present a direct threat to others.

                China can and does censor things on a broad scale and as an example, calling the government or dictator stupid would probably get you tossed in jail. That is not freedom of speech.

                  They said their speech, and got the consequence of being jailed for it, exactly what the comment I responded to said, my point is that freedom of speech doesn’t actually exist.
