This statement on its own, particularly coming from an educator, is disturbing,
Kinda makes me wonder when I should remove the My Little Ponies and the Care Bears from my daughter's room,
The two cases can't be compared because the first went to trial. If the t-shirt girl took the school to trial for clamping down on her civil liberties, she might end up with the same result, i.e. a judgement in her favor.
