[QUOTE="Junior Bonner, post: 2504392, member: 33416"] Here's a light hearted thread. [url]http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/27/justice/california-school-american-flag-shirts/[/url] A California school that stopped students from wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo didn't violate their constitutional rights, an appeals court ruled Thursday. The school's approach, according to the appeals court, kept students safe in a climate of racial tension. "The controversy and tension remained," a panel of judges from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said in their opinion, "but the school's actions presciently avoided an altercation." School officials were worried about violence and disruption of school activities "and their response was tailored to the circumstance," the opinion said. The case dates back to May 5, 2010, when the principal of Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California, asked a group of students wearing American flag T-shirts to turn their shirts inside out or take them off.
