Last time I checked, open hate speech and slogans were clearly defined and punishable.
the shirt that this kid was wearing in my opinion comes nowhere close to that line.

Yeah I really don't see the difference between this shirt and wearing other religious symbols like crosses, yamukahs, islamic head coverings, sikh turbins, etc....
His shirt basically proclaims that his religion is the best in his opinion. However, when anyone wears a religious symbol of any kind they are doing that.
As for how people interpret it...who cares? You don't have the right not to be offended by others' beliefs. I could easily interpret a Muslim or Jewish symbol to mean that student thinks their religion is better than others. People are allowed to think and express that as long as they aren't infringing on the rights of others to their own beliefs.
If this student was going around aggressively attacking or pushing his beliefs on others and this was the last straw, yeah ban the t-shirt. If he's just sitting there with a t-shirt that essentially says "I think Jesus is the best option" and others are reading into it, then we are being way to sensitive.
