ACLU: Whimperers 'R' Us when conservatives' free speech is shackled. When it's liberals' speech rights under the gun, they're The Mice That Roared.

The reasoning on display here opens the door to political correctness ruling the day. At Dilworth, the kids were disrespecting the flag and stiffing the establishment -- classic '60s New Left stuff -- so they get a halo. At Kennedy, on the other hand, NASCAR-type, Dukes of Hazzard kids get the ax, with the ACLU's whimpering acquiescence.

We have become a land of non-confrontational wussys. Not the land my father fought for on D-day. ;-(

It would be interesting to see if the ACLU would defend the students flying the Confederate flag if the students were claiming they were trying to make a political statement .

Junior high kids MUST conform to the rules of the school or anarchy will prevail. They probably think they are hot stuff for making the school back down.

The aclu is a bunch of commies who pick and choose their battles to further their cause of integrating socialism.

Any action that defends American values is uncontested.

So the ACLU does not defend the Constitution. They obstruct the Constitution.

Seems to be a race in this country between the ACLU and the ROP (not that there is much difference).

Three seniors arrived on the last day of school in trucks flying the Confederate flag. They said they were Dukes of Hazzard fans, celebrating the Southern lifestyle.

Day 1) Arrive at school in trucks flying rainbow flags. Say that you are Rosie O'Donnell fans, celebrating the homosexual lifestyle.

Day 2) Arrive at school in trucks flying the Confederate flag ...
