Morgan Hill School Justified in Banning American Flag Shirts for Safety, Court Rules
Officials at a Bay Area high school acted appropriately when they ordered students wearing American flag T-shirts to turn the garments inside out during the Mexican independence celebration Cinco de Mayo, a federal appeals court says.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that school officials’ safety concerns outweighed the students' right to free speech.

However American flag and patriotic T-shirts are still banned lest they hurt the feelings of non-Americans who are in the schools via illegal immigration.
How about a tee-shirt that says ... ???
“Democrats Hurt the Economy”.
“Democrats Booed God 3 X”
“Abortion Kills Babies.”
Aw! Dump Trump. How cute, little snowflakes. I bet you think you’re just so funny & creative. Meanwhile, you’re putting this country on a high speed train to hell by supporting Hitlery. But you’re all just too stupid to know that.
Viewpoint discrimination by government is not permissible. If thugs attack these students, then the thugs need to be prosecuted (as adults).
Wear a shirt with an American Flag on it and get expelled.
As long as other kids can wear their “ make America great” hats and shirts
Can I wear a pro-Trump T-shirt in your home?
Wonder how they’d feel about an “Obama Sux” t-shirt?
How about “Jail Hillary” shirts?
My son bought a MAGA hat with his own money and wears it to school every day. He catches grief from some teachers, but they haven’t asked him to remove it. He is not even eighteen, yet, but will be by November, so he will vote in the primary (for Trump) at 17.
I picked up my grandson at his high school several times before the 2008 election. Nearly EVERY car in the teachers’ parking lot sported an OBAMA bumper sticker! Some were PLASTERED with them.
On one occasion AFTER the election, I had to pick him up in the Principal’s office. As I waited for him, the Principal came out of her office and asked who I was. (At all of 4-5” tall, she looked just like Robert Reich’s sister and the liberal/socialist she was. Actually, she looked like a bleeping troll!) I told her who I was and remarked on the student created anti-drug posters decorating the walls in the hallway.
Yes, she said, drugs are a problem in the schools today. I agreed and, recognizing the truck-size opening she’d just afforded me and unable to hold back, I remarked that the American voters had sent a wonderful message to our kids by installing in the White House a guy who still smokes pot and used cocaine in college? To my delight, the nearby ARMED security guy piped in with “Yeah, he admitted it on the campaign trail.”
She paused then blurted “What do you want me to say to that?” I said there was nothing she COULD say but that I was blown away by the hypocrisy of those posters inasmuch as it appears that, if one uses the bumper stickers on the cars in the teachers’ lot as a gauge, every adult in that building voted for an admitted drug user to lead the nation.
We turned and walked out. My grandson glanced back and remarked quietly that she did not look happy.
We both smiled.
But I stopped smiling long ago when it struck me that unless this country does SOMETHING to halt this process, these places will continue to crank out sufficient newly minted mini-Marxists to cause us to some day -- soon -- look back on the corruption and destruction of obozo as the good old days!
Hello? Anybody out there? Anybody listening??
Time for Americans to start flying bumper stickers and t-shirts that say “America; Love It Or Leave It”.
Exile those who refuse. OK, maybe that’s a little harsh, just deport their illegal butts.
Wait until other students start wearing Trump Build the Wall T-Shirts and see how the administrators start acting. If they have the same reaction, I say good. Free speech is a good thing but sadly, I don’t think those shirts would be allowed.
Wear and American Flag shirt to school and its called a hate crime.
