Anyone know the scoop on the settlement? Curious to know the details and motivation.

"The students were suspended for three days and returned to school in the same shirts, prompting a second suspension from which they never returned. Instead, they were home-schooled."

Probably the best decision to come out of this yet.

Caps memorializing a black pimp who preached very very vitriolic anti-white messages and bragged of beating his whores until he found Allah in the peaceful embrace of Islam(barf) and was then gunned down by his psuedo-Muslim brothers for said "offense" is a-ok with this school but a Confederate Battle flag emblem is not?

What naive uninformed idiots!

My youngest wore one of her "Dixie Outfitters" shirts to school today.

During its first go-round in U.S. District Court, Judge Henry Wilhoit Jr. ruled that T-shirts were not a form of speech and threw out the case.

Let me get this straight, Burning the US flag is a form of free-speech. Nude dancing and pornography are considered free-speech. Promoting gay/lesbian relations and education in our schools is free-speech. Requiring the Koran and Islam to be taught in school is considered free-speech.

But wearing the confederate flag, promoting the Boy Scouts, teaching the Bible, or saying a Christian prayer is not?

From the previous article:

                        The 6th Circuit panel ruled that the actions of Madison County High School officials gave "the
                        appearance of a targeted ban" because other students were allowed to wear clothing with the
                        "X" symbol.

That should be enough to decide the verdict.

The only people offended by the Confederate flag are the ones that have been indoctrinated from birth that the Confederate flag is racist and whitey is evil. I doubt that any of these "offendees" have been injured in any way by anyone wearing a Confederate flag T-shirt.
