Its official: the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued an order declining a request for an en banc hearing in a case involving four students in at a California high school who were sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo.
The full slate of Ninth Circuit judges has thus agreed with a lower district court and with a trio of appellate judges that officials at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Calif. could censor students who wanted to wear flag-emblazoned shirts.
The federal appeals court issued its denial of an en banc hearing on Sept. 17 Constitution Day.
[N]o further petitions shall be permitted, the court ordered.
The trouble dates back to Cinco de Mayo (May 5) in 2010, when officials at Live Oak High a school with a predominant Mexican-American student body forced the students to remove their American flag-festooned shirts. Administrators called the shirts incendiary and worried that fighting would break out between white and Latino students if Latino students noticed the shirts. So, assistant principal Miguel Rodriguez told the students to turn their shirts inside out or leave school.

No longer America. When will people take arms? I just hear grumblers.

But it is OK to wear gay pride shirts which offends many religious folks?

This school does not have a "predominant Mexican-American student body." It's a predominant Mexican student body. They is nothing American about them.

This is even against USSC’s own precedent. The Ninth is infamous for USSC slapdowns.

Probably ok to burn the flag shirts though.

Well, after all it was Mexican territory for about 25 years.
Never-mind it has been ours for about 165.

I was going to say that the 9th Circuit needs to be taken out and shot.
But they just need to be taken out and spanked.
Because it's obvious that we're dealing with a bunch of leftist children here.

American flag t-shirts bad.
LGBT flag t-shirts good.

And before that it was American Indians’ for thousands... shouldn’t the Mexicans be letting Montezuma get his revenge upon them, just to prove their sincerity about roots?

Never fear, even the heavily lefty USSC will spank them regularly.

I’m beginning to think the Ninth Circuit does these things simply because the judges enjoy getting spanked.

Time for some passive resistance.
Wear the shirt anyway.
