Not really, you are just having a comprehension problem. The Hitler example is meant to show that students in school do NOT have the same freedom of speech rights that adults do. If the school determined all political apparel was disruptive, they could prohibit it. The example of the young woman was merely to illustrate the old principle that just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. If the girl ends up getting beaten up over this incident, as she claims she is fearful will happen, I think it outweighs the questionable gain of wearing a shirt parroting her parents views in an environment where it is unlikely she swayed anyone's voting preference.
Again and again you ignore the school distrist's comments that the girl broke no rules and was exercising her freedom of speech - read the damn article. Or listen to any one of the news reports. What the district "could do" isn't the issue, the district has not banned political apparel.
If you took the time to listen a bit before you went all partisan knee-jerk you'd know this was the students' free dress day. Not to mention the girl is an honor student at the school.
