I have a friend who printed t-shirts that said "Cancer can kiss my ass!" and sold them to raise money for charity. Should I have been allowed to wear one of those shirts to work because it was for a good cause?

I agree. The company has a certain image they want to uphold, they make the rules regarding appropriate appearance, the employee has to comply or find another employer that doesn't mind his appearance.
The good cause has nothing to do with it.
