BTW with your argument its interesting because where I work we had a black and gold day and one of my coworkers who doesnt follow football wore a colts blue and white shirt with an actual colt on it. We gave him shite all day about it but he really has no idea who the Colts are.

Work is probably a different scenario, so long as it is a private business.

First Amendment rights only apply to public forums. Your boss could have reprimanded your coworker with no consequences.

Now, if you worked in a government job, different story completely.

Public schools, btw, are "semi public forums." In some circumstances, students have free speech rights, but in other circumstances, they do not. That is why I call this case a gray area.

It doesn't surprise me in the least the ACLU is taking this up. In fact, they have probably been waiting for a case like this to raise the issue.
