Banning the Flag?

The Oceanside United School District is banning patriotic clothing and all flags, due to last week's immigration protest.

According to school officials, some students are using the garments and flags to taunt classmates... School officials in Oceanside now say that flags -- whether they are U.S. or Mexican or any other country's -- have now become a divider on campuses, saying that some students are using them to taunt other students.

Give me a break. This is just liberalism at an appalling level.

And since when is a flag a "divider" in the sense it is making students face off against each other?

Some critics of the move are calling it a violation of free speech protections guaranteed by the Constitution.
The American Civil Liberties Union points to the landmark Supreme Court case Tinker v. Des Moines. In that case, school officials attempted to stop students who were protesting the Viet Nam War from wearing black armbands.

"The school has to be able to show a strong likelihood that there is going to material and substantial disruption of school, and if they don’t meet that standard, then they can't censor student speech," said Kevin Neenan of the ACLU.

Ain't it scary when you have to agree with the ACLU? The ACLU is right on this issue - is this a biblical sign of the apocolypse?
