This is a touchy issue.

First, about the banner. That guy had every right to do that but he is a douchebag for doing it and you can’t punish him for that. It was off school grounds so the school had no right to punish him.

Now about free-speech in schools. In our school you could pretty much wear anything that was “school appropriate”, which was loosely regulated. If you wore a shirt with a sexually explicit image or if it advertised drugs or alcohol you were told to wear it inside out and that was the end of it.

I think schools should have the right to disallow the advertising of a product that is illegal in the school if it wants too but that is the line. I can easily go both ways with drugs and alcohol with that issue. But anything offensive (racist, homophobic, sexist, pornographic) should be banned since other students can't leave that area and are forced to see the shirt.
