i know i wouldn't let her into any venue that i own, and if she had a problem with it, i would call the cops and have her arrested

For a person who so emphatically shouts "think of the kids" in such a high-falutin' way, you sure don't seem to give a shit about the freedoms these children are supposed to have, and cherish.
The freedom that allows us to be critical of our government, the freedom that allows us to print newspapers that contain news, not propaganda, the freedom that alllows us to assemble peaceably, to protest, and to practice whatever religion we choose or none at all, is the same freedom granted us to wear a t-shirt that says, "fuck" on it.
You may not like the content, you may not like the message, but you should have more respect for the freedom to say it. Freedoms do not serve to hold, bind, or constrict, they set us free.
If your child is seriously, permanently damaged from having to see the word "meet the fuckers" on a t-shirt, you are a bad parent. You determine their education, you are responsible for the bulk of their wordly experience into their early teens... and if you strangle-hold your children so bad that anything outside the "safety bubble" from reality you've created for them gives them an actual mental problem, YOU are the problem, not the fucking t-shirt.
"Think of the children", indeed.
