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:
The ABSOLUTE RIGHT to display the American flag has been won by countless patriots who gave life and lim.
These kids know they aren’t supposed to do it. They know people will get pissed off…. They want to get away with it and are looking for trouble. Unfortunately for them, people who look for trouble usually find it!
This was never discussed when I was growing up . The flag was always honored , no one disgraced it by adding rainbow strips or people’s faces . I am so glad I grew up when I did , when the world was sane !
I’m sure its a written law that states “the American flag may not be worn as clothing” now am I misremembering this ? I remember Abbey Hoffman getting arrested for it because after raiding his home that was the only charge they had that would stick on him.
Yeah!….lets not p**s off any ILLEGALS!! THIS MOVE SUCKS!!!!!
I checked, you cannot use a flag to make clothes, that’s the verbiage
I wish people would stop giving in to all this garbage…THIS IS AMERICA !!!!!!
Country going to hell.
i’d tell the judge to get $#%&!@*ed and wear it anyway
We have a bunch of STUPID $#%&!@*ed people running this country (what used to be a great nation) till these $#%&!@* for brains took over!!!!
