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:
TRUMP NOW MORE THAN EVER

How is it possible you can wear stupid tees like that but you can’t wear anything that has old glory on it?? Oops I almost forgot we still live in Obamaland.
PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE YOU GETTING ANY MONIES FOR THESE T-SHIRTS??? OR ARE YOU GOING TO SUE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING THEM ???
We either have equal rights or we don’t. The American flag should never be stopped from being celebrated in our country. If foreigners in our country don’t like it they can leave. All or none for canidate symbols. No group has the right to supercede another. Trump protest shirts can’t be worn unless trump support shirts also can be worn
Stand up and be counted!
We can end all the dumb$#%&!@*this year. 2016 we can take our country back from these communist bastards!
