    I literally said that nobody is [forced] to wear or not wear anything [...] - as in "total freedom unless offensive". You're implying I said the opposite.

    But where does offensive start? People in my youth would've called some of our metal band shirts to be offensive.

    Yeah, defining that is a bit of a problem. However, I am pretty sure most schools have had prior incidents that set a precedent. I guess some even have specific blacklist (hard curse words, depictions of nudity, revealing armpits etc.) or even a whitelist (sports gear in PE, clothing of major religions)

    See, I would've never in a million years guessed armpits are somehow offensive to anyone.

    ...Also I was in a school with a strict dress code (light shirts only with no print) as well as one where a "MOTHERFUCKER" hoodie was apparently permitted. I don't really care either way but I don't see how prohibiting religious attire would help.
