Two Ohio high school students were reinstated on their football team after being suspended for disobeying an order to not carry flags supporting police onto the field, according to the school district.
Students Jarad Bentley and Brady Williams from Little Miami High School were suspended from the team after they carried a thin red line flag honoring firefighters and a thin blue line flag honoring police onto the football field Friday, according to TV station Local 12.
Both boys had previously requested the school to carry the flags onto the field, but their request was denied and they were warned of consequences if they disobeyed the order, according to the school

Good. Now the administrators responsible just need to be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail; shunned at a bare minimum.
Reinstated but not allowed to honor nave Americans or our flag. They had a good talking-to I am sure.
Football is on the other side. We’ll see what happens from here.
What lame reasoning. What if the "rules" that the school administrators make up are stupid? Or illegal?
Spoken like a true Marxist.
“ Good. Now the administrators responsible just need to be tarred, feathered, and run out of town on a rail; shunned at a bare minimum.”
It will get worse. This was to get this off the front pages.
Not sure how Autocorrect turns brave into nave.
“they did not obtain permission from district officials to do this”
This is the kind of statement that raises my hackles. I am not a big fan of asking permission for anything.
Duh, Bobbie - that's because they weren't GIVEN PERMISSION, you Marxist b*tch!
One of the few times where conservative outrage undid an injustice.
Fantastic news!
Lol. Either way these chickenshyt bureaucrats lose. It’s one thing to anonymously make up rules in an office, safe from observation. It’s another when you are exposed to the world. So these clowns then fold immediately. They are bullies, and like all bullies, cowards.
“Rules” that violate the constitution, denigrate the country, shouldn’t be rules at all. In fact, those that make rules like that should be fired, run out of town.
So they weren't sure if there was a violation but just in case they imposed the penalty while they figured it out.
It's all just spin but if you actually think about it, it's damned stupid spin.
“students received a one-practice suspension while the incident was being investigated”....yesterday it was a season long ban.
“coaches said no to any changes in the program”...nice way to deflect blame.
Hope they do not hurt themselves walking back so quickly.
At these boys' ages the "administrators" were probably underneath the stands passing a joint and/or "pleasuring" each other. Their actions might be a sort of late "revenge of the nerds". Both should face the wrath of a parents' committee carrying hot tar and chicken feathers.
I think I detect the heady aroma of thermonuclear blowback here.
Then there’s that.
If it had been a gay or BLM flag, everyone on here would be praising the school admin.
Permission? Why in the world would they need permission?
I bet they have “permission” now.
Actually you'd probably get the same effect as "running them out of town" by simply "inviting" them to a parents meeting where the parents have a big bag of feathers and a pot of tar heating up just for them. Folks like that will run off scared on their own.
