....in contrast to:

ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. — The ACLU says that the St. Tammany Parish School Board will allow two students to wear “Black Lives Matter” face masks, reversing an earlier decision that threatened disciplinary action against them for wearing the masks.

“My children are not protesting,” said Wright. “Anybody, any skin color, should be able to wear a ‘Black Lives Matter’ face mask in any atmosphere. We’re supporting the symbol of peace, that’s what we’re expressing and all we’ve been trying to express.”

Then, the ACLU got involved.

The constitutional rights group sent a letter to the district’s superintendent asking the school board to reverse the decision.

“Students do not lose their constitutional rights at the schoolhouse doors,” said ACLU of Louisiana senior staff attorney Bruce Hamilton in a statement. “As their mother pointed out to administration officials, the students are not engaging in active protest by wearing ‘Black Lives Matter’ masks—but even if they were, school officials cannot constitutionally prohibit non-violent protest.”

If I were a student at St. Tammany parish, I would wear a face mask with the 2nd amendment on it.

How long would that fly?
