In 2009, a group of Mexican students marched and waved a Mexican flag around the Live Oak campus in front of all the school.
Some non-Hispanic students then raised the American flag on a tree to show their American patriotism. The Mexican group found this offensive, and then the two groups exchanged profanity-laced threats.
To fix the ‘problem’, the principal issued an order banning students from wearing Stars and Stripes shirts. If a student was caught in violation of the crime of wearing the American flag they would either have to turn them inside-out or go home. The incident garnered national attention as many expressed outrage that students were barred from wearing patriotic clothing.
Parents and a few lawmakers had argued that the actions violated the students’ Constitutional right to free speech.
In the original ruling, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided that past problems at the school gave officials sufficient and justifiable reasons for the order. In its opinion, the court said that schools in general have wide latitude in curbing certain civil rights to ensure campus safety.
On Wednesday, the Federal Appeals Court said they will not reconsider the February ruling upholding the unconstitutional actions of a principal in a Northern California high school who ordered students wearing American flag shirts inside out during a 2010 Cinco de Mayo celebration.
The school’s actions “were tailored to avert violence and focused on student safety,”Judge Margaret McKeown said

Revolutionary war... civil war.....just kicking off the start of the list that shows patriotism at its best and how our country became what it is. By fighting for that flag.
And these judges were appointed by Democrats. Surprise, surprise.
This is America and we love our flag. If you find it offensive and don't like it then go to Mexico and fly your flag there.
Oh well. I already know I'm a racist because I criticize Obama and Holder and I will wear the label proudly and if someone doesn't like it they can go to hell. Anyone who likes and supports Obama and holder aren't my kind of people anyway and they aren't allowed in my space to foul my air. I only like principled, honest, moral people.
Cranial Rectitis.......
Time to adopt the Confederate flag and go to war with the Democrats.
Civil disobedience is in order. I will fly the flag on my property with honor, and display it on my car. I will also where a flag button on my shirt to work to show my patriotism. Everyone should do the same.
Amen 1:35

And even if you were at the enough is enough point, I know for a damn fact you wouldn't act on it... I know for a fact... Proof? what have you done upto this point? thats right nothing unless you call jaw jacking action...

OK 2:55 - WTF are YOU doing about it? If you've got a plan, let's hear it.
These, and I use the term loosely, justices need to be removed from the bench! The people in district served by these liberal idiots need to ban together and demand their removal and not early retirement or resignation just removed!
Theu did nothing with it kinda like how Mexico does Nothing Now
Just another idiot judge; who probably should have retired a long time ago.
Time to send the Judge to another country

I was thinking the same thing and an ounce of lead is cheap. Try them for treason then shoot them.
OMG... when will the politically correct fools learn?
I like the part where it said "...schools in general have wide latitude in curbing civils rights...."
Just add "schools" to the list of entities of our government that do not have to abide by the Constitution or recognize any citizens rights. That would include the TSA, Homeland Security, the U.S. Congress, the Secret Service, the IRS, the Justice Department (!!), the military, the NSA, the CIA, The FBI (how much time ya got?), and a host of others.
"Exemptions", they call it.
Thomas Jefferson wrote volumes about it.
I heard she gets her Nazi flag cleaned weekly
OMG
If you don't like what you see or hear in America then go back to where you came from. We don't want you here anyway!

HUH??
Time to adopt the Confederate Flag and go to war with the Libtards, Mexicans and Muslims. I know what you are thinking, but they can be included under Libtards.
The best solution is that all of the parents pull their children from the school and find an alternative. When the district looses the money for these students they may reconsider their actions. Hit them in the pocketbook and they rethink their position.
