Ninth Circuit rules American Flag unsafe for school

A heckler's veto.

The Ninth Circuit has once again proved its status as the leftmost leaning court of appeals in the country with their refusal to rehear a case involving the banning of American flags in public schools. This refusal means that the ruling that a three-judge panel issued in February stands, which allowed the Morgan Hill Unified School District to ban American flags and American flag apparel because of threats of violence.

Now some of you might be thinking, "That sounds reasonable. After all, we don't want to have violence in our schools!" But the issue here is that those who were trying to display the flag were not the ones being violent or threatening violence. Rather, they were the ones being threatened!

Why do those on the ninth circus even desire to live in the US? If they hate America so much, why don’t they simply move to one of the myriad third world shitholes around the globe which would suit their fascist agendas better?

The Obama administration disregards court rulings all the time. Why shouldn’t we.

I can't say the words for the 9th Circuit Court on FR, but I rule that every one of them are unfit to sit as a Judge.

Pure insanity. It is almost impossible to parody the left these days because it always seems to come true

Rally round the flag. Fly it. Don’t let them take it.

“Morgan Hill Unified School District to ban American flags and American flag apparel because of threats of violence.”

“it seems odd that the court (and the school) take the side of the bully.”

“Cinco de Mayo”

This is just plain wrong. There is absolutely no justification
for this ruling. This is caving to the lowest of lowest
common denominators, a primitive culture.

It’s called the “hecklers veto” and this one will be slapped down by SCOTUS if they take it.

If American flags and American flag apparel provoke some morons to violence in America — then maybe it’s time to go ahead let the violence begin.

But the Mexican flag is okay and if you disagree you’re a racist as if Hispanic is a race. Or something.

Those shitholes don’t, and can’t pay them as well, so they stay, and defecate on us as we pay them six digit figures to do so.
