The T shirt asking for prayer isn't causing any "disruption". Try again.Yes, they are when they pertain to something like prayer. No one is harmed by this. That's an excuse to silence. Her shirt isn't harming anyone. The school administrator doesn't like it. That's too bad.You asked for an example of Christian suppression in our public schools. Here's one. Every time I come across one, I'll post it for you.Do you know any American Muslims?
Alabama teacher says school told her to change shirt with 'just pray' on it
Dress codes are not the government silencing your free speech, silly.
That would be up to a court to decide.
Can I wear items conveying political or religious opinions in the classroom?
The Supreme Court has ruled that students can wear armbands to school as an expression of their political views and that their right to free speech can only be limited if the speech would cause “substantial and material disruption.” The right of teachers to express their views in school on public matters is not so clear. The courts in Washington state have not yet looked at this issue, and courts from other states have come to different conclusions. The trend seems to be that, if the items are not disruptive, they are protected as free speech. For example, you can probably wear a necklace with a religious symbol on it. However, a court has ruled that a school may ban teachers from wearing buttons supporting a current political candidate, as this could be considered “disruptive.” Courts have also upheld discipline for teachers wearing T-shirts with political messages or slogans. The same rule applies to classroom decorations or displays: it is best to avoid any appearance that you are advocating a particular religious or political view.

"Causing a disruption" is defined, in libspeak, as "forcing leftists to throw a massive hissy fit by confronting them with the fact that other viewpoints exist".
