NEW: 12-year old Colorado student smirks after getting kicked out of class for wearing the ‘Don’t Tread on Me’ flag on his backpack, teacher falsely claims the flag is linked to slavery.

This kid knows more about history than the teacher 😂

“So they’re the reason that they do not want the flag is due to its origins with slavery and slave trade. That is what was, um, that’s the reasoning behind them.”

FACT CHECK: The Gadsden flag originated from the American Revolution when the U.S. fought for their independence from Great Britain.

It is now a symbol for standing up against authoritarian rule… kinda like this woman.

For those asking for an update:

- Jaiden decided to go back to school today. With his patch will in place. He said he’d do a sit-in if necessary to protest.

- Two law firms have stepped forward to assist as necessary to fight the viewpoint discrimination.

- Lots of media interest. Mom and son will likely be on Hannity tonight, other outlets covering too

- No known response yet from the school or district offices

- Colorado governor tweeted about it, disagreeing with the school. (No word yet if he’ll pick up a phone and tell them to knock it off.)

- Jaiden sent me a video telling me his favorite Tuttle Twins book 🎉 (It’s the Creature from Jekyll Island.)

- He is campaigning to be school president. The tri-corner hat is part of his shtick. Super patriotic kid!
