You know how consent is not a valid defense against a hazing accusation?
Consent of the person wearing the shirt doesn't make it less of a violation of the tax code.
A member of an organization has the right to represent themselves as a member of the organization but also has the responsibility to not legally compromise that representation. They do not have the right to give consent to compromise that representation.
It puts us on a slippery slope when it comes to the tax code. 501c7s and 501c3s have to be very, very careful. It's just better to not mix the two.
(Or if you want to make a statement, make one that doesn't include trademarked symbols.)
