Thanks.

We could use opposite definitions if it makes you rebels feel better about your treason.
Some of my ancestors were “United Empire Loyalists” during the American Revolution. They fled the treasonous rebels, who were fighting against the King. The rebels won, and thus they will always be called Patriots.
It’s called “history” — and history is always written by the victors. I’ve never felt the urge to ask you how you feel “about your treason”.
I don’t like the flag in the story either. It’s like having a US flag with Obastard’s picture across the front of it.
So, what do Obeyme and his slavering henchmen consider *us*?
Traitors or patriots?
Yeah.
Thought so.
Peasants, perhaps.
where’s my revolutionary army flag, now that you mention it. Maybe I can wear it to London.
Take a Gadsden flag — you could pass as an environmentalist, concerned about the fate of endangered snakes. That would make you popular in some circles, I’m sure.
With all due respect to my southern friends, my own experience is that the yankees who like to fly the battle flag are not doing it for heritage, if you catch my drift. Nevertheless, Steinert (alma mater of Samuel Alito) is in the wrong here.
At best.

If you are to remove the c-flag from this boy, then remove all ethnic power and gang symbols from the school. I never flew the c-flag being a Yankee but I was dumbfounded that African/black power symbols and la rasa
were allowed.
Tennessee School District To Allow Students To Wear Gay Pride Shirts
SAVANNAH, Tenn. (AP) — The Hardin County School District has agreed to allow students to display their support for gays and lesbians.
The assertion came in a letter from the district’s attorney to the nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center. The letter was from attorney Stephen Shields of the Memphis firm Jackson, Shields, Yeiser and Holt on behalf of the school district.
The center had complained last month that students were being prohibited from publicly supporting gay rights in school.
That was after several high schools students said an assistant principal told them that T-shirts such as one with a rainbow flag violated the dress code policy by promoting sex.
The school district attorney writes that students can peacefully display “non-vulgar expressions in support of LGBT people.” The letter also affirms that slogans such as “Lesbian and Proud” and “I Love My Gay Friends” are not vulgar or sexually suggestive and do not violate school policy.
SPLC attorney Sam Wolfe said allowing greater freedom of expression is nearly always better than expensive litigation.
“The Constitution protects the bedrock principle of our democracy that the government, including school officials, may not ban expressions of an opinion they simply dislike,” Wolfe said.
The district’s letter was a reply to the law center’s complaint on behalf of Hardin County High School student Isabella Nuzzo, who said she is not gay but wants to express support for her gay friends.
Teen: Security Told Me To Remove U.S. Flags
High School Student Has 3x5 Feet U.S. Flags In Truck Bed
A high school student in Northglenn is upset that campus security told him to remove the large American flags flying from his pickup truck because it might make others uncomfortable.
Jeremy Stoppel told 7NEWS he got a ticket at Northglenn High School last Thursday for squealing his tires. He said he deserved that ticket and deserved having his parking lot pass suspended for two weeks.
But he’s upset that campus security then told him he can’t fly his 3 feet by 5 feet flags in the bed of his pickup truck anymore.
“She said I should take my flags down. She said this is a school that focuses on diversity and she doesn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable,” Stoppel said. “How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? That’s where I’m confused.”
