The Bill of Rights Article I - does not apply to schools, they are considered exempt,  if you do more research you will find that schools have suspended the right of self expression for children, and schools limit what kids and teachers can wear. 

Of course clothing carries a message, that is why some school district do not allow certain type of clothing or colors,  because they identify a gang.

So if that is the case why should religious clothing be allowed?

I remember the excitment of the moment - we hoped that the soldiers would support the students - we hoped that China could follow the eastern block countries and simply walk away from Communism, or in the very least give in a little. But unfortunately the people (soldiers and goverment) felt so threatened they could not give an inch.

It was an incredibly sad day because not only did many people/students die but their cause and hope  was squashed. Now slowly the 'revolution' is becoming real due to economic growth.
