Original Message In a blow against reason and common sense, a federal court has ruled that the Live Oak High School in California did not violate the constitutional rights of students when they banned the wearing of the American flag on shirts. The school had told students that wore the shirts on Cinco de Mayo to either remove them or to turn them inside out. The students’ families sued over this flagrant suppression of the First Amendment of free speech.

The school said that it banned the American flag t-shirts as there had been fights before on Cinco de Mayo between white students and hispanic students. The school maintains that they did this to prevent any violence from breaking out. This may be true, but it is a sad, sad testament to the health of America today. My parents, who are deceased, would not recognize the country that we have become where displaying the American flag is considered a bad thing and is banned. I’m pretty sure that the school didn’t ban the Mexican flag on Cinco de Mayo. Also, Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, so why should we get worked up over it?
