The guy wearing the shirt got just the reaction he was looking for.

You don't wear a shirt making a statement without asking for a reaction.

I'm wearing a shirt right now that has a cartoon picture of a knife (with an anthropomorphic face and legs) and the caption is "Hey kids! Put me in your enemies!"

Does this mean it's ok for a police officer to hold me? Or would that be an overreaction?

Maybe not, but you sure have a sick sense of humor.

I would consider it to be a reasonable school policy if when you walk into a school that you be asked to change to another shirt.

Freedom of expression, means you are free from persecution .

A persons dress is freedom of expression.

A company drawing the line on how it's customers are dressed is also freedom of expression.

The US Government didn't keep him from boarding the plane. The airline did. To post this as a lack of freedom of expression in the US is just lame.

Amendment I - Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Infringe uppon the rights of others (I'm pretty sure the t-shirt WOULD, and DID) and you forfeit "your 1st Amendment rights".

what exactly did he mean by "We Will Not Be Silent"?

i guess he made enough noise to be noticed, which is what he wanted.

'hey look at me.......hey look at meeee, i'm a arab an i'm flying on your plane, look at meeee"

Congress shall make no law....

If Jet Blue makes a rule, how does that violate the first amendment?

Hi John,

I see that you didn't get a chance to read the whole thread before posting.

It means that he disagrees with the war in Iraq, and he will "not be silent" about it.

It doesn't, which is what I provided. I agree with you.
