That's not to say that I think she should wear the shirt, only that she should have the right to wear the shirt.

there was a mall in upstate NY that last year asked someone to leave because they wore an offensive Tshirt. You try to wear that stuff at Disneyland they'll show you the door if they didn't catch you with it on the way in.
Ther is a large portion of the public domain that free speech is not as free as you think. Try getting a group together in Central Park in NYC. You may not get the venue, but you'll get some semblance of a place to assemble and have free speech.
