“Jesus is associated with religion, and it’s offending people,” a security guard tells the man in one clip, adding that "people have been offended.”
The guard then tells the man to remove his shirt or leave the mall. The guard adds, “Again ... I’m giving you a couple options: take the shirt off, and you can go to Macy’s, and you can do your shopping — or you can leave the mall, OK? Those are your only options right now."
A second cut in the same clip shows the guard getting angry as he sharply tells the man, "If you want to shop here, you need to take that shirt off!"
The man asks what's wrong with the shirt, and the guard replies — with his voice still raised — that "it is religious soliciting; there is no soliciting allowed on mall property, which is private property!"
The guard adds, "We've had guests come up saying that they've been offended by your shirt ... take the shirt off, and you can go shopping!"

So there is no free speech or freedom of religion anymore in America.

Yeah?
Jesus is the only way. That is kind of the theme of Christianity
That is not illegal, at least not yet.
Your point?
Being offended is not a right.

Did anyone actually read the article?
Did you read what's on the back of the shirt?
The back of the shirt shows: JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY -- with the Coexist symbol crossed out.
IMO -- a place named MALL of AMERICA should be inclusive to anyone who visits it.
This shirt is offensive and very un-inclusive when you read the back.
Mall customers complained.
