Move the TRUMP flag to the side and add a COME AND TAKE IT! flag. You then will have two flags to hack them off. One with TRUMP and one with a cannon.
If parents were making sure that their children were being taught about their constitutionally enumerated protections, then the referenced student would be able to defend his Trump flag by politely reminding his teacher of the following.
The states gave Congress the express 14th Amendment (14A) power to make laws that discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected free speech in this case.
From the 14th Amendment:
"Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
"Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
H O W E V E R…
Instead of having federal lawmakers that we can rely on to do their sworn duty to make penal laws to put activist state actors who abridge constitutionally enumerated protections into federal prison, we are still stuck with corrupt, worthless lawmakers left over from the lawless Obama Administration who will predictably munch popcorn while watching CNN show the student getting expelled for refusing to hide his Trump flag from the virtual classroom.
The remedy for constitutionally failed federal and state governments…
Patriots not only need to elect new patriot federal and state lawmakers who will promise to fully support PDJT’s already excellent work for MAGA, especially helping to stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but will also do the following.
New lawmakers also need to promise to do their sworn duty to make penal laws to discourage state actors from abridging constitutionally enumerated protections of citizens.
Also regarding 14A:
UC Berkeley relatively recently had to pay compensation under 14A concerning the abridgment of 1st Amendment free speech protections.
UC Berkeley settles landmark free speech lawsuit, will pay $70,000 to conservative group (12-3-2018)
Problem is that taxpayers, not UC Berkeley offending state actors, will probably pay compensation.
Patriots who value their constitutionally enumerated protections of freedom of religious expression and free speech, consider that Acts 22:25-29 shows that Apostle Paul got out of a flogging by claiming his Roman citizenship.
High schoolers are subject to the Hatch Act? I’m always learning something new here.
My children have all graduated and are gainfully employed. However if I was told to remove flags, pitchers, etc from the room so the school could use it I would send the school a bill for the rent of the room. If they are demanding control then they can pay rent.
Correct answer to the ‘teacher’
“Don’t force me to seek council” ie get a lawyer. Cause they know they will lose - big time.
I battled many times with the local school district, that was the magic phrase.
Except that some speech is more free than other speech.
“Don’t force me to seek council”
