“The boys are now suspended from their team after not heeding a warning to leave the Thin Blue Line and Thin Red Line flags that represent fallen firefighters and police officers off the field.”
If you wish to be a patriot, you should be prepared to accept the consequences of the act. They were warned.
““Were you trying to make some kind of a political statement here?” Local 12 asked Brady Williams, a senior cornerback.
“No,” he answered quickly. “Not at all. I was just doing it to honor the people that lost their lives 19 years ago.“” Yet later in the interview: “Listen,” Williams said. “I don’t care what my consequences are. Ss long as my message gets across, I’ll be happy.”
He made a choice, he’s happy. One that was in defiance of the decision of the organization he was representing. If an employee of a company does something intentionally after it is established the company doesn’t want it done, and warned consequence would follow, then they would be punished, possible terminated. If the two kids had asked to try for an alternate way to accomplish their goal, and turned down, then a discussion could follow that could appease both sides. This way, there is no room for a discussion. They wanted, they were told no, and they are being punished as previously informed.
Breaking rules intentionally is not the answer. If they had time to ask, they had time to sit down and maybe meet in the middle. But the kids didn’t care by the one’s admittance. And what it represents, has nothing to do with their acts.
They acted in a defiant way by doing something, anything, that was preplanned and unwanted, at least, in the way they wished to do it. They broke the rules. Our country is based on rules, and sometimes laws. And allowing children to break them openly after they were told no, is the kids act, not the school’s. Blame the kids. They knowingly created the problem.

Soooo, people should just go to the back of the bus when they’re told to and sit quietly?
