If this isn't viewpoint discrimination by a public school, then what is?
Imagine if a school in a conservative rural American town displayed a "MAGA" flag while banning all Nike products because of Nike's political affiliation with the America-hating ideology of Black Lives Matter (BLM). Now imagine the exact opposite, and you'll find the reality of a school in Randolph, Vermont that displays the BLM flag boldly but canceled a high school baseball team fundraiser for using Chick-fil-A products.
In an email to the community on April 11, school superintendent Layne Millington stated:
Chick-Fil-A as a company has stirred significant controversy across the country since 2012; for more information simply do a web search on Chick-Fil-A controversy. Because of the rancor this choice stirred in our communities, I recommended to the coach that they choose another fundraising partner of which the choices are nearly limitless, which he graciously accepted to do. As a public school district, we all have a responsibility to be reflective of the impact of our decisions on those we serve[.] ... [A]s public servants we have a responsibility to try as best we can to be inclusive and to serve the needs of all students.
This is shallow. The Randolph Union High School (RUHS, home of the subject baseball team) displays the flag of Black Lives Matter, a far-left organization that openly calls for dismantling the Constitution and free speech rights.
Having canceled the fundraiser as planned, Superintendent Millington then appealed for a fuller conversation:
I would hope folks from all perspectives join in that meeting so that everyone has a chance to learn and grow from the dialogue and hopefully (said with genuine humor) we can also discuss what seems to have been forgotten — how any of this is beneficial to our athletes.

Understanding that Dan Cathy is a good Christian, he likely was bringing forward a modern twist to the parable of Jesus washing the poor man’s feet. A simple gesture perhaps, but still deserving of Grace.
“Free Watermelon.” .Didn’t know he was in prison.
Same cell as Willy.
“Not any more. They went all woke about three years ago.”
That’s why I won’t eat there. They are a “pretend” Christian business, which in my mind is worse than being an admitted secular business like other fast food restaurants.
How about a local fried chicken shack and tubs full of iced-down watermelons?
No brand names there, right?

I used to strongly support CF but when they caved to BLM and we got the hate yourself because you’re white lecture from their CFO I really don’t give a crap what happens to their company. Do I eat there, on occasion but I don’t go out of the way to do so as before. They boughed down, kissed the butt of the left, apologized profusely and then got told not good enough. CF made their bed...
