Not quite sure why this student should be required to "hold his tongue" about his political beliefs on public property. Protecting controversial speech is what the 1st Amendment is all about.

In this age of school shootings, it seems the schools have bigger problems on their hands than a student choosing to express his views.

Because schools aren't political forums, they are learning centers. If students want to express themselves, fine. They can do so after school. There are limits to everything. Can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater. Can't talk about bombs at the airport. Shouldn't be wearing any shirts with slogans on 'em at schools.
