American Flag shirts are inappropriate, but “Dump Trump” apparel is perfectly fine. That seems to be the message coming from California’s public school system.
In 2010, five students were kicked out of their Bay Area school because they wore shirts with he Star Spangled Banner on Cinco de Mayo. Four years later the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld their decision, claiming that the decision didn’t violate the student’s right to free speech.
This decision made clear that California’s public schools had the authority to limit clothing related speech it deems offensive. Thus, the American flag was out, apparently because it demeaned students of foreign heritage.
One would think this decision would extend to offensive things said about political candidates and their supporters, as well. Evidently, this isn’t so. The American Flag remain on the outs, but “Dump Trump” shirts are in the clear.
See the school’s reasoning on the next page:
Break CA off from us already they are not true Americans.
That’s why the are going bankrupt. Can’t get their heads straight.
such hypocrites
Just so wrong. What is it about you people in California are you all just stupid that you do not object to what your state is doing. So unAmerican. Can not imagine anyone with half a brain wanting to live in that kind of mess. Just go ahead and secede from the USA.
