The T-shirt threw some people into a rage. One parent says he wants his child to learn English and nothing else. He isn't interested in having his child subjected to social commentary. His reaction was mild compared to others the teacher received. According to the Los Angeles Times, the teacher received such a torrent of angry messages that she had to flee her home with her daughter after her address was advertised on social media.

What's the solution to this controversy? Should a teacher be free to wear whatever commentary she wants on clothing she wears to class? Are her free-speech rights violated if she is prohibited from doing so? Should parents be required to submit their children to political statements or commentaries in English or math classes?

Who should decide the matter? The principal? The school board? Voters at the next election? The state department of education? Voters in a state-wide election? Or maybe the federal Department of Education?

Whatever decision is made, there are going to be unhappy people, on one side or the other. There will continue to be seething anger. That's the way it is when a peaceful activity is politicized.
