"But I am like anyone else, I want my grandchildren to look like me."
Amazing ain't it? Some of these types don't go as far as the banned "nolu chan" in revealing their persona, but just go back and do a searching in older posts....it always slips out.
FWIW with regard to the original posting subject, I think it is WRONG entirely to stop these girls from wearing the flag.....I think someone early on in the first posts of this thread said it best when that person noted that the idiots that have the "F@@@ Bush" t-shirts in school are protected in their 1st Amend rights while others are not.
I feel funny actually being on the side of he people I intensely dislike (stand watie, cowboyway, etc..) but IMO it is the only correct position for this Conservative.
So the federal courts have allowed a student in West Virginia to wear Confederate flag clothing to school and forbidden it in an Indiana district. In the first case, there wasn't much tension in the school and African-American students weren't offended. In the second case, the rule barring such clothing was adopted because of conflicts and disruptions at the school.
The big case was Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School Dist. (1969) and involved students wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam war. It looks like schools won't be able to ban political speech at least until the country is as divided as it was over Vietnam, but if the school does have a hard and fast rule against wearing clothes with obscenities written on them it could probably disallow a shirt with obscenities about the President printed on it.
