Is that like the "heroic restraint" they display every election cycle when it comes to voting for the party of slavery?
1st amendment being violated.
Great, Now these students can get their education in an alternative fashion.
“St. Anthony’s is a private Catholic school and isn’t bound by the First Amendment right to free speech.”
Hmmmm....that theory doesn’t apply when homos want a wedding cake.
What else can you expect from people who when asked to what political party did Abraham Lincoln belong, answer Democrat?
Restraint based on what precisely? If they understood the significance of the Confederate flag they would wear it as a sign of their opposition to slavery. If they are mind raped by fascist thugs who teach domination by government they had no reason to be restrained.
Restrained? NOT!
It’s a private school. They can set their own rules and restrictions and enforce them as they see fit.
Poor victimized babies! Having to see a flag they don't like! Why, they would have been justified in beating, killing, rioting, whatever? How very big of them to let those boys with the flags live and/or not get beaten up! I certainly hope those "heroic" African-Americans get some kind of medal for their restraint!
This is beyond absurd. How long are we going to put up with this nonsense in our country? The intolerance toward a flag! The bullying and pushing around of those who are not PC?
Conservatives have to see and hear things every day that are horribly offensive to us, and we're not allowed to even mention it, much less be told we have "heroic restraint."
maybe even during the polar bear hunts as well....
““I find it just very hard to even imagine why any student in 2014 would even consider or think that a Confederate flag would be anything other than a symbol of hate,” Cregan said.”
Ignorance and self-congratulatory bigotry reign supreme.
Even if you don’t agree with Robert E. Lee that the South should have abolished slavery, then seceeded, there is an issue of freedom and self-government on the chopping block there.
Freedom and self-government misused in the service of a terrible thing, certainly. But Lincoln’s response to the South’s assertion of those rights was to destroy them. Government of, by, and for the people no longer exists. Freedom and self-government went out the window with slavery, and now we do not have the freedom to govern ourselves as we wish.
There will probably be those who wish to misinterpret the above as a defense of slavery. Don’t even start in on me. Slavery is an atrocity. That said, we are the only one of Britain’s former colonies that had a war to abolish slavery. We could have avoided the war and still abolished slavery, as they did.
They can be home schooled.
If it was a fag flag this wouldn’t even be a story.
Being expelled from public school is a first step towards getting a good education and learning. They can do better at home or at a private school.
Slavery in North America:
Under the British Union Jack = 157 years (no protests)
Under the Stars and Stripes = 89 years (no protests)
Under the various CSA flags = 5 years (Go Crazy!)
There exist, commonly, online high schools. As such, there is exactly ZERO excuse for a parent to keep their child in a school filled with liberal teachers/supervisors ect.
And in this case the private school costs certainly are greater than any online school.
I took my daughter out of a public school and put her into a charter that while still far from great, was much better. Today, she is finishing a second degree in business while in the USAF.
Parents that care enough will find a way to avoid indoctrination.
Heroic restraint, based on the fact that the blacks were provoked, and did not in turn lynch the whites? That statement is racist.
The blacks exercised normal restraint and waited for due process. Does the author believe black people incapable of self-control?

“Brother” Cregan should suspend himself for denying the 1st amendment to the constitution. Two kids brought a confederate flag to sporting event, big f’n deal! This principal claims black students showed “heroic restraint”, just goes to show who runs St. Anthony’s. You can bet the principal wouldn’t complain if a black panther or islamist flag appeared on campus.
Where I am from it means they did not start something and get their asses kicked.
Sounds like a great way to get out of school for a few days!
Yeah, that’ll show ‘em.
