Just as an experiment, someone might want to try taking a normal black T-shirt, and painting on it (in red) some sort of non-mainstream slogan...say (for argument's sake) "GO SATAN GO"*. Then walking into a typical American school, and counting with a stopwatch the number of seconds it takes for someone to accost you, and haul you to the office for summary punishment.

Other than the moral implications (which are obviously subjective, and religiously motivated), why is this different from wearing a "WWJD" shirt, or a turban, or a hijab?

*If easily offended, consider that Satan is a member of the Buffalo Sabres.
