What Are The Limits To What U Can Wear?

Post by LedZep04 »

I'm not really sure if censorship and stuff is a big deal right now, but my bf lives at this apartment and he wore this tapout shirt that says represent mother fucker and the manager told him not to wear it. Is it against the law to wear that, because I thought that was only at schools and stuff. any answers would be nice. and if they keep bugging us what should we do about it?

Well the constitution and the first ammendment protect you from abuses of the government, not from private orginizations, so I do not know what protections you have in the situation.



In (public) schools however you have a good deal of protection. As established in the Supreme Court Case Tinker v. Des Moines School District (393 U.S. 503 (1969)) : "Students do not shed their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse gate, and therefor are entitled to the free expression of their views as long as there is no substantial or material interference of the educational process."

It's counted as profanity though, and there are usually rules about that everywhere. I hate censorship. But I think there is a rule somewhere about public profanity...

Well, inless the lease says he can't then he can. But personaly, people who wear thoses type of things out on the streets are very rude people. You can be yourself, but if it could offend someone i would think twice on it.

He can tell him not to wear it while hes on the property because he is the owner.

I've got a t shirt which says on it



"sexy cnut"



and I get warned about it in the union.



People walk around with



"flying fcuk" or "fcuk me"



and that's fine??



Mine is a vagina monolouges t shirt which is campaigning for freedom of speech for women.. whereas FCUK is french connection.



That makes it OK??
