ACLU Doesn't Give a F%#& About Civil Speech
- Woman Booted Off Flight For Offensive Shirt
The original headline of the article said that the woman was booted for an "Anti-Bush" shirt. Media distortion or a mistake?
A Washington state woman was bounced from a Southwest Airlines flight in Reno for wearing a T-shirt with the pictures of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and the F-word. The shirt was a play on words taken from the movie "Meet the Fockers."Southwest officials said other passengers complained about her shirt, and that rules prohibit offensive clothing. But the American Civil Liberties Union said Heasley's T-shirt is "protected" free speech under the Constitution.
Hey! It's not like she was wearing a shirt with a picture of Jesus.
