Has that terrorist kid who made a timer for a bomb been suspended yet?

it was only an issue when it flew on taxpayer owned, public property

And those of us with more than two functioning IQ points knew that to concede to fags, commies, liberals, ragheads, et al knew eventually it would reach epic proportions not unlike Orwell's 1984.

Good. It’s public school which means if some parents don’t like the idea of flag representing treason being displayed they have a right to protest. Fly it off your front porch if you want but not on a taxpayer funded piece of US property.

“Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past.” Ingsoc (Newspeak for English Socialism or the English Socialist Party) is the political ideology of the totalitarian government. from the book “1984”

The Nazis are going after the kids again. That pesky Americana.

School property is public property. This is same as prohibiting wearing the symbol in a public library or police station.

Which taxpayers get to decide?

File this under “I didn’t go to law school, but that won’t stop me from commenting on arcane legal matters”

It seems to me that a vehicle that is legal to drive on public roads, can’t be excluded from a school. If they want this to be a policy, how can they let, for instance, a parent with a Confederate Flag bumper sticker drop off their child, or park on school property for a conference?

As to clothing - if they want to enforce this ban, but refuse to enforce other bans then they seem to be on thin ice - “someone is offended” seems like a pretty low bar for reaching the “lets ban it” threshold.

So, you're saying that in you're in favor of banning the wearing - by private persons (library patrons, etc.) - of politically controversial symbols while on public property (e.g., while visiting a library or police station)?

Stay out of school kids .... YOU have become the vanguard the entire nation has been waiting for

What can they do .... cite you for truancy when the school is the one that kicked you out ?

disobeying a direct order ?


YOU ARE THE GRASSROOTS !!!

Exactly how does an image cause a disruption? I would think people cause disruptions; for instance, people who behave rudely when they encounter free speech they don’t agree with.
Otherwise, by the logic, you’d have to ban pretty girls in tight little skirts.

I would bet money that the pan-African flag has been worn on clothing at that school, at least once, and no one blinked an eye.

Yep. Just like the sodomites and that bs “we just want government out of our bedrooms”. Now they want the whole world to be forced to applaud their bedrooms acts as they publicly perform them.

Free speech: leave it home! That's the ticket, no more free speech in public, it's indecent exposure.

And I’d like to spit in the face of every leftist who ever mocked conservatives for bringing up the slippery slope. It wasn’t just slippery, it was greased.

My legal state-issued license plate has the Confederate flag on it. Does this mean that soon I'll be unable to drive on federal roads outside my state?
