Mall rules cannot conflict with US law.
The rule being used here was also never in writing.
But the authority to ban someone from the premises rests with the owners.
I'd like to see where that statement was posted.

I'd say that some people are in real need of offending.
Sweet Jesus, (see what I did there...I hope I didn't offend anyone...actually, I don't care if I did.), are people so snivellingly weak minded that a T-shirt is offensive?
Grow the (hashtag) up, you weak minded children.

Being offended is not a right.

Being "Inclusive" and "tolerant" of every sickness, mental illness, immorality and insanity is not a requirement.

The 'e' in Coexist symbolizes equality of the sexes and he crossed it out, just that should get his ass booted out of the mall.

I understand that some people (like yourself apparently) are suffering from delusions, like the sexes are 'equal' and other nonsense, and believe that anything even remotely suggesting the truth should be banned and anyone engaging in disseminating truth should be banned/canceled and probably tortured and murdered.
But sane/rational people will prevail. Thank God.
They don't.
It was.
Not if the Corportation delegated that authority
It's in the longer clip linked from the Blaze article the OP linked.
100% truth. I don't care what you do as an adult. That's on you. But mandate me to accept it? That's when we have some serious problems.
Prove it.
It indicates to both the offending person and the potentially offended person where the larger community stands.
If one person does something to another that contravenes community norms or values, such as making a racist remark, and a bystander ignores it, then the offending person may think that such behavior is actually acceptable.
The offended or harmed person may think that nothing can be done and that s/he will just have to live with such behavior.
"If a norm is deeply held, its violation should provoke reactions. What sense can we make, then, of the silence of bystanders?" *

So, preacher shirt guy was asked to leave the mall because he was espousing "The Truth"?
