] An Albany, N.Y., shopping mall ejected a man for wearing
] a "Peace on Earth" T-shirt. The man's son avoided

] chance" T-shirt. Both had bought their shirts at the
] mall.

]
] In Dearborn, Mich., high school administrators told a
] 16-year-old to remove a T-shirt with a photograph of
] President Bush and the words "International Terrorist,"
] reports First Amendment Center Executive Director Ken
