ACLU: Let Students Wear Flag
The ACLU has sent a letter of complaint to a North Carolina high school after it refused to allow a student to wear an American flag t-shirt yesterday in commemoration of 9/11. Jennifer Rudinger, Executive Director of the ACLU-NCLF: "The school has no right to prevent this student – or any other student – from wearing a flag on her clothing. Hobbton High School is violating students' First Amendment rights to free expression."
The ACLU-NCLF's letter calls on the Sampson County school district to end its practice of censoring students' wearing of flags and comply with the constitutional protection of student speech laid out in the landmark 1969 U.S. Supreme Court case Tinker vs. Des Moines Independent Community School District , which affirmed the right of students to wear black armbands in protest of the Vietnam War.
I'd like to take this post and shove it up the ass of the Stop The ACLU fuckwads that are always screaming, "The ACLU hates America!"
UPDATE: Stop The ACLU linked back to this post with a flying pig photo. Cute.
