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:
California has lost their mind and their pride
This is crazy. An earthquake will take care of most of this
That’s the type of thinking that has this country so screwed up.
Just look at the picture they’re probably illegal anyway
Eileen Wieditz Moore, it should be that easy, because illegal mexicans claim they own the whole USA, also, if California is given to Mexico, that’s not what illegal mexicans and their legal relatives want, there won’t be no welfare or freebies anymore, since California won’t be American territory, so we still, won’t get rid of them, and I think is a horrible situation, because in Mexico, they know they wouldn’t get away with any of the things they do in this country, in Mexico doesn’t take much, before the cops will beat the c**p out of them, and throw them in jail, I still blame Obama, for all the horrible things that are happening in this country, Americans don’t have freedom for anything, illegal immigrants, instead of getting deported, they get all kinds of privileges, instead of getting deported, the laws weren’t made for them, they only apply to Americans, can’t hardly wait till Trump becomes president.
This pic will still be out there when he’s president good luck girls
dump these thugs ,
Ant Card, you are right, just like all the nasty comments they make on facebook, and their demonstrations, they are only hurting themselves, and they are fooling themselves, if they believe that, their t-shirts are going to stop the Trump movement , by now they should know better, this has been going on, for almost a year, and they furious, because everything they are doing is backfiring on them.
Now, that is standing with one foot omeach side of the fence.
The absolutely clueless of America’s younger generation.Not a one has the intelligence or even the ability to actually research the liberal claims by themselves.They only believe what has been indoctrinated to them in the liberal school system.It’s called the dumbing down of America.,
