T-Shirt Times

 By Nathaniel Cary • STAFF WRITER • April 4, 2008

 A Bryson Middle School eighth-grader was arrested and suspended from school after he wore a T-shirt to school Thursday with a KKK symbol on it.

The student showed up to lunch with two shirts on and briefly lifted his top shirt to reveal a white T-shirt with the symbol, slogan and picture of a noose on it. The shirt “caused a tremendous amount of disruption in the cafeteria,” an incident report stated.

The student was immediately suspended from school and recommended for expulsion, the report said.

Later in the day, students passed notes saying some were planning to wear similar shirts today. Principal Phillip Davie addressed the involved students yesterday.

An 80-year-old church deacon was removed from the Smith Haven Mall yesterday in a wheelchair and arrested by police for refusing to remove a T-shirt protesting the Iraq War.

Police said that Don Zirkel, of Bethpage, was disturbing shoppers at the Lake Grove mall with his T-shirt, which had what they described as "graphic anti-war images." Zirkel, a deacon at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal in Wyandanch, said his shirt had the death tolls of American military personnel and Iraqis - 4,000 and 1 million - and the words "Dead" and "Enough." The shirt also has three blotches resembling blood splatters.

Score one for the First Amendment:

A Conyers man may continue criticizing Wal-Mart with parodies on T-shirts that compare the retail giant to the Holocaust and al-Qaida terrorists, a federal judge has ruled.
Timothy Batten in Atlanta ruled that Charles Smith may maintain his Web sites, www.walocaust.com and www.walqaeda.com. Smith also may continue to sell novelty, satirical merchandise that criticizes the company, the judge said.

"It’s great," Smith, 50, from Conyers, said Tuesday about the ruling. "I’m relieved. Whenever you go into litigation against such a big company, you never know the outcome."

"This is a resounding victory for First Amendment rights and sends a clear message to big corporations that would try to use their deep pockets to intimidate and silence their critics," said one of Smith’s attorneys, Paul Alan Levy of Public Citizen.
