Standing up to jihad in the little ways
I admire this woman. She is speaking up in defense of many people at once.
By the way, had she worn the subject T-shirt in an American courthouse, there would have been no question that the First Amendment protected her right to do so.

I think the judge in this case did the right thing. He obviously did not want the defendants or their supporters to make a circus out of his court. He halted the proceedings until he could determine what the woman was wearing and then permitted her to come into court once the messae was clear. EVEN THOUGH THE MESSAGE COULD CLEARLY INFLUENCE THE COURT.

You need a later cite than Harlan. I believe it was last year in California when an appeals judge held that a defendent who was found guilty was prejudiced because the family of his victim wore a lapel button with words of support or comfort for the victim.
That's right, a lapel button probably unreadable by the jury.

She's a brave woman. In Europe, she's lucky not to have been killed for wearing that shirt.
I don't know if she could wear it in an American courtroom, but she wouldn't have been allowed to wear it in an American public school. Wouldn't want to offend anyone, ya know?
