the school also bans Malcolm X and gang attire.

seems pretty equally applied IF they also ban the mexican flag or illegal immigration symbols of aztlan.

So where do you stop? No designer labels (a symbol of economic status over your less priveleged classmates), no baggy pants, no jeans with holes slashed in the knees, no steel toed boots, no dyed hair, no earrings in places other than ears...

See, it sounds silly once you start going down this road, but a lawyer in a courtroom can make a case for all this. The government administers education with taxpayer funds, therefore everthing can be reasonably enforced since someone might be offended at someone’s else’s display of individuality.

Yes, I know, it just spirals into stupidity. I agree.

This is why it’s always best to keep government as small and weak as possible in every area of our lives and allow free people to remain free.
