The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review a case this past Monday regarding a California school’s banning of clothing displaying the American flag.
Three students had filed an appeal on a ruling by California’s Ninth Circuit court that school officials at Live Oak High School in the town of Morgan Hill didn’t violate the free speech rights of students by forcing them to remove any garment bearing the U.S flag on Cinco de Mayo.
The school has been troubled with racial tensions between whites and Hispanics and the school felt that any symbol of American patriotism could spark violence in the face of Mexican students celebrating their holiday.
MOVE TO PAGE 2:
This is AMERICA last time I checked NOT Mexico.. They should wear what they want to.. The school is causing the problem by reacting to what the kids are wearing!!!!
Where rights secured by the Cons$#%&!@*ution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them– Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 491
This is un-American!
This isn’t Mexico, remove the justices, there has to be a clause for that, like treason, another countries holiday is not ours to honor
When a law is unjust, it is not only our right to break it, it is our obligation!
he order of precedence for flags is 1) National, 2) State, 3) Military (in order of creation date), and 4) Other.
The United Nations uses alphabetical order in its presentation of national flags so that no one country has precedence over another.
According to the Military District of Washington, Ceremonies and Special Events Office, Army Regulation #840-10 mandates that state flags should be displayed according to the date that each state was admitted to the union.
According to the Department of Defense Directive 1005.8, the prescribed precedence of military flags is determined by service birthdays. The appropriate order is given below:
Army Birthday –14 June 1775
Marine Corps Birthday – 10 November 1775
Navy Birthday – 13 Oct 1775-Abolished Feb 1781-Reinstated 7 Sep 1781
Air Force Birthday – 18 September 1947
*Coast Guard Birthday – 4 August 1790
*According to the Ins$#%&!@*ute of Heraldry, and in keeping with the order in which troops are listed in Department of Defense Directive 1005.8, during peacetime the Coast Guard falls under the Department of Homeland Security. During wartime, if the Coast Guard comes under the control of the Department of Defense, then the Coast Guard flag would come before the Air Force flag in order of precedence.
The Merchant Marine, Vietnam Veterans, and POW/MIA flags can be displayed following the military flags. There is some la$#%&!@*ude in the order of display regarding these three flags. Our government has not officially recognized the Merchant Marines as being a branch of the military (its members are often not given veteran’s status), but we feel it is appropriate to honor them as a military branch and thus place their flag at the end of the military branches.
The Vietnam Veterans and POW/MIA flags could be reversed in their order if so desired. We felt it appropriate to place the flag for the living veterans (who are here to see the honor so accorded them) before the flag for those not presently in our midst. You can use your discretion here.
I see no other country flagon the list
Grow up America grow breasts and balls to put end to loosing God given rights and freedom.
this what oboma doing
The Supreme Court is a bunch of idiots as we’ve seen many time before. 😛
