    I’m gonna need to see the shirt, not just read what the slogan said. I can’t make any judgement until then because there could very well be more to the story. I’m leaning toward Delta being ridiculous especially if it was just words on a shirt But what if the shirt had someone hanging from a noose or dead from a gunshot wound? What if it looks like the shirt was covered in blood? More context is needed.

      They show the shirt in the video. It’s a plain black t with white and red lettering.

      Edit: The shirt appears at the 28 second mark.

        Eh. Intentionally incitive clothing is banned for a good reason. You don’t want drama from political rivalry happening in an air bus hours away from an airport.

        I don’t mind the policy of “STFU for X hours until you get to your destination”. This includes people trying to incite you.

        Whether or not this is extreme enough to warrant incoming this rule is another matter. As the person you responded to implied, there may be a way to present that opinion in a highly inciteful way thats not fully realized by the wording alone, so they’re withholding judgement. That seems prudent.

          Wearing a call to action about psychiatric health is incitive. Ehh.

            I don’t know. I haven’t seen the shirt. That’s the point.

            Just because I agree with the text of the shirt doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to wear in an enclosed area with a bunch of stressed out people known for drama just like this.

      Maybe the shirt had some “offensive” picture on it but the first thee pages of a Google search for “don’t give in to the war within shirt” just shows shirts with the words on it and sometimes an American flag. Someome on the flight was an asshole and complained putting Delta in a lose/lose position.
