For my school field day, I have to wear a white shirt and it can have logos or pictures. My shirt has the words "God save england" is that approapriate?
Yes, I think it's appropriate.
Under our United States government, yes, you are able to wear that shirt. You have the constitutional right of freedom of speech and freedom of religion protected by the First Amendment. Any opposition to that is a DIRECT VIOLATION of the Constitution. So, long story short, yes, I KNOW for a FACT you can wear it.
I think you should do some research, herp_derp. Schools have the right to mandate reasonable student dress.

The rulings about schools invoke the same principles as the prohibition against shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
Forgive me Ms. Sue, but I really need some clarification. I was looking at the same site you showed me and I click on an article named "First Amendment protects more than just words"
...it basically says that symbolic speech is protected by the First Amendment. So, how does the school have authority over dress code (in a public school). I can understand if is a modesty issue, but I don't quite get this topic. Why can't you wear a shirt with "God save England"?
Determining whether a specific shirt design is appropriate for your school field day can depend on your school's dress code policies and any specific guidelines provided for the event. To find the answer, I suggest following these steps:
1. Check the school's dress code policy: Review your school's dress code guidelines, either by referring to your student handbook or by asking a teacher or school administrator. Look for any rules regarding slogans or graphics on shirts.
2. Consult the specific guidelines for the field day: If your school has provided specific guidelines for the field day attire, check if there are any instructions or restrictions related to shirt designs or slogans. Pay attention to any mention of offensive or inappropriate content.
3. Seek clarification from teachers or school administrators: If you're still uncertain about whether your shirt is appropriate after reviewing the dress code policy and field day guidelines, it's best to seek clarification from a teacher, principal, or another school authority figure. They will be able to provide you with a definitive answer based on the specific context of your school.
Remember, it's important to respect your school's rules and guidelines to create a positive and inclusive environment for everyone attending the field day.
