Court Rules In Favor Of Schools Ban On American Flags Recently, an appellate court ruled that it was not a violation of students rights when a California School banned them from wearing American flag T-shirts to class on Cinco de Mayo. The court instead acknowledged the school for doing the right thing to help prevent an racial issues surrounding the holiday. The court acknowledged the school had to make a decision between allowing students to take advantage of their full rights, or preventing potential violence on campus. It ruled to uphold the administrators decision. In 2010, the principal of the California school demanded that students change out of their American Flag T-shirts. When they declined, the principal got angry, and the students eventually filed a lawsuit again the Live Oak High School and two administrators. The students claimed that their rights to freedom of expression had been violated. The decision was made at a time where gang-related violence and racial tensions were at an all time high in the district. What do you think of the courts decision?
