In California, students are apparently being taught that they must eliminate or hide signs of their patriotism in fear of reprisals in their own schools!
On Thursday the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals determined that a northern California school did not violate the First Amendment rights of students when it insisted they remove clothing displaying the U.S. flag during the Mexican Cinco de Mayo holiday. Students were asked to turn t-shirts inside out or remove garments that bore the American flag due to fears of ‘racial violence’.
“School officials anticipated violence or substantial disruption of or material interference with school activities, and their response was tailored to the circumstances,” Judge M. Margaret McKeown wrote in the opinion for the three-judge Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel. “As a consequence, we conclude that school officials did not violate the students’ rights to freedom of expression, due process, or equal protection.”…
UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh suggested that the court may have correctly applied the law, but unfortunately sanctioned a “heckler’s veto” by ruling against the students.
“The school taught its students a simple lesson: If you dislike speech and want it suppressed, then you can get what you want by threatening violence against the speakers,” Volokh wrote in his blog,the Volokh Conspiracy. “The school will cave in, the speakers will be shut up, and you and your ideology will win.”

bull $#%&!@*
ITs America, judge kiss off.
This can not be allowed to stand !!!!!!!! Imprison all responsible for sedition !!!!!!
This sucks!!
This is the United States of America! If you want to be something other leave and go there. We don’r want you here either. This Judge is wrong and should not be a Judge making these kind of decisions against our Country.
What that court did was to force observance of a foreign holiday. Tolerance does NOT mean participation. This court must have decided something else or it was taken, here, out of context.
Ship their wet back ass’ back to where they came from. Tell them next time the only entitlement they will get, will be lead.
HOW MUCH MORE ASS KISSING DO AMREICANS HAVE TO DO TO BE POLITICALY CORRERCT SO AS NOT TO OFFEND SOME ONE WHO CARES LESS ABOUT AMERICA BUT DEMAND THEY HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS
I might move to Texas. At least they are patriots.
Apparently the judge is so stupid he doesn’t fear reprisal of americans. Re-election of the judge will come sooner or later.
