FREE SPEECH: Not Safe To Display An American Flag In An American High School. “When we’re at the point that students can’t safely display the American flag in an American school, because of a fear that other students will attack them for it — on May 5 or on any other day — and the school feels unable to prevent such attacks (by punishing the threateners and the attackers, and by teaching students tolerance for other students’ speech), something is badly wrong. Here’s an excerpt from the court opinion describing the facts that led the court to uphold the restriction.”

Plus, from the comments: “If a student were threatened for wearing a LBGT shirt, the school would not ask the student to remove the shirt. The school would remove those making the threats.”
