But fearing the shirts could incite violence, school administrators ordered them to remove the shirts or face suspension. Although administrators eventually allowed the students to wear their shirts, the incident raises questions surrounding student rights. At what point does a political message become offensive? And what First Amendment rights do students have regarding their clothing? For the students, wearing a T-shirt that expressed their solidarity with Mexican-Americans shouldn’t have raised a red...

The code applies to all visitors and staff members, including tourists. Some tourists are finding the strict clothing restrictions at the White House un-American. The forbidden items include jeans, sneakers, mini-skirts, t-shirts, tank tops and absolutely no flip flops. The motivation for the clothing crack-down comes from the Bush Administration who think some of those who work there and those who visit just don't dress appropriately.
