You have no free speech rights in liberal Oregon. The only free speech rights belong to the Left Liberals.

But if he had carried his flag to a funeral and then shrieked abuse at the recently bereaved: he would apparently be protected by the First Amendment.

Ah, well, this guy will be OK. The courts are never inconsistent on the First Amendment.

Two things jump out of this story

1 he was hired by a contractor NOT the school district therefore the school district has no right to fire him

2 the offending flag was on his personal vehicle NOT the one he used for doing his work. Unless they can prove that he was engaged in actions that were not allowed during his work time I don;\’t think they have a legal leg to stand on

I bet he would not have been suspended if he claimed to exercise his First Amendment Rights by having a Mexican Flag on his truck.

But, then again he works for a private company and they can suspend of fire him for what ever reason they wish as the First Amendment does not place restrictions on a private company.

He has no case.

Ah, the growing list of things that are now “racist.” When did the confederate flag become racist? Is anyone publishing a list of words and symbols that are now racist?

I hope he takes it to the Supremes. His personal vehicle? How dare they.

So, Code Pink and its hateful clones can denigrate Army burials, but displaying the Confederare flag is a censureable offence. Somehow the logic escapes me.

I predict a big juicy settlement and a spankin’ new, ultra-souped-up, badazz personal vehicle in his future.

An Oregon school bus driver has been suspended for refusing to remove a Confederate flag from his personal vehicle.

From his personal vehicle? Since when does the school district control what he has on his personal vehicle?

So is it illegal to display the Miss. State Flag?

Split decision.
They have every right to tell him that it isn’t allowed on school property regardless of whether it is leased. They can tell him to park in the street. That’s all. If he refuses and continues to bring it onto the property, he should be disciplined or fired.

If we were talking about the gay rainbow flag, would anyone have a problem with that policy? (Just an illustration, not a comparison.)

They have no right to tell him to remove it from his vehicle. It is his truck and he can put whatever he wants on it.

Who wants that guy anywhere near their kids? Hell, I’d fire him based on his Larry the Cable Guy impersonation. I wouldn’t even want a guy like that serving me fries at a drive through.
