“The state of Michigan has told a court that it was protecting children when it refused to issue a vanity license plate with the phrase ‘WAR SUX.’ In documents filed last month in a Grand Rapids federal court, attorneys for the secretary of state’s office said that a lawsuit brought by David DeVarti should be dismissed because children often amused themselves by reading license plates. The document went on to note that courts often allowed ‘the physical and emotional wellbeing of youth’ to trump free speech rights protected by the First Amendment.”
