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:
A flag ban but these illegals are allowed to display their flag
Liberals at their finest.
Can you say AGENDA?
You better put on something that says support TRUMP
It won’t work on me thanks I’m a hustler too and not desperate for men . I love to be single and free don’t need men .
Calif. is a bankrupt state. If it were not for the other states tax money supporting it these rotten egg sucking liberal socialist democrats would starve to death.
Go Trump go all the way
I would buy all my kids and their friends support trump t shirts and see what those mentally ill liberals do about that. They made a decision now expose them for their hypocricy. See the way to beat liberals is use common sense. Common sense infuriates the mentally ill
