Then again, to me, it's a symbol that was used by traitors to the Union and as a Yankee, I find it damn offensive to see a Confederate flag flying around here.
Hey, buddy, why don't you come over to Mississippi and stay there for awhile or visit?

It have been awhile I reading this thread and haven't post anything since.

The truth is that I don't care about the Southeast USA States or the flag, I am going to worry about my own location, the West Coast or Pacific NW if you want to be specific.

I doubt that that guy will win his case in court, the rules has been in place long enough and they already know that school forbids using symbols. I guess we'll wait see what the update on that story when they come in the news again.

First--the trial already has bias as it is being heard by an all-white jury.

Secondly, he knew the dress code, his father knew about the dress code and he signed it--meaning that he was going to follow the rules and decided to go against it by being selfish.

He deserves to lose!
Exactly thatīs what I thought so.

Rules is Rules... !!!

Yeah maybe some schools are easy with it, most are strict. Anyone know how long has the ban took effect since? I'm not sure if it was a big deal in the 90's and before the school violence spiked.
