Yeah, there's a lot uneducated people, but the whole saying how many words there are and then having three less isn't subtle enough. See it for what it is.
I can't comment on that particular shirt, but "14 words" is an actual white supremacist slogan. The text on that shirt appears to have a similar message except with slightly different wording (possibly so it could fit on the shirt?).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_Words

Quote:
Fourteen Words, or simply 14, is a reference to a white supremacist slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." It can be used to refer to a different 14-word slogan: "Because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the earth."

Both slogans were coined by David Lane, a member of the white supremacist group The Order, and publicized through the efforts of the now defunct Fourteen Word Press, which helped popularize it and other writings of Lane. The first slogan is claimed to have been inspired (albeit not by Lane or by Fourteen Word Press) by a statement, 88 words in length, from Volume 1, Chapter 8 of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf:

What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe. Every thought and every idea, every doctrine and all knowledge, must serve this purpose. And everything must be examined from this point of view and used or rejected according to its utility.
