Good. I’m not in favor of allowing any desecrated American flags on official functions. If you allow that, than you have to allow an American flag with a rainbow for LGBT or a black fist for BLM.

IDK I disagree here. If someone wants to make a political statement then it should be protected. I'm assuming this is a public school here. IMO if a student wants to put a blue line flag on their backpack then it should be up to them. People can burn flags so the flag desecration boat sailed a long time ago.

I dont agree with burning the flag but I agree it’s protected. Nearly all speech should be protected unless it could bring direct harm to someone.
This sure is a slippery slope and conservative speech is getting squashed.

My main problem is at official functions and government places. On private property you can do what you want even though it’s at poor taste.

My cousin in NC posted on FB that his son was expelled from virtual school because he had a Trump flag on his wall and it was visible by the teacher.

Am following to see what happens. He's a trucker & biker. Don't think that he'll take this lightly.

I do not care one way or another what this school does or does not do. This is a discussion that lacks importance.

In regards to the Thin Blue Line Flag, I find it funny how many people have very little idea what this flag represents....

The police say it means that they are the line which keeps society from descending into violent chaos. Many others do not see it that way. 1st and 2nd Amendment auditors around the country have become calling it the “Flag of Tyranny” based on the outcome of many of these Rights Audits resulting in arrests for open carriers and trumped up charges for recording police interactions. There even is a website that has done very well selling this merchandise. Who’s right? Probably both.

Auditors have paved the way for open carry and the recording of the police. A Supreme Court case allowing you to record the police is a result from their arrests. If I can now record my police interactions because of their arrests, I wouldn’t say that they are losers. They have actually fought for our rights. More than any modern day servicemen really.

Some are decent, most are pure jackasses. They need to move out of the parents basements and get a real life.

I know that for some, they are modern day hero's, too me, most are just losers that would be nothing in life in not for YouTube.,

Losers that have been arrested and have paved ways. They have done more for America’s rights than you and I.

Pretty sure he can sue for this.

Probably put his kid through college with it (not sure why he'd want to do that with the way colleges are now though).

Remember the olden days where you could say whatever you want without people freaking out? I don't like the flag to be used for other than what was intended. But If you want to put a queer or BLM symbol or on it ,go ahead. DO I like it ? No . But Im not going to demand that somebody take it down because its offensive. As long as its in an individual capacity and not an official one.

If you're an attention whore it's a good way to get attention.

At the same time, it is a good thing for society that these boundaries are constantly being tested.

Rights are like muscles, if they aren’t regularly exercised they will atrophy and you will no longer have them.

Would I prefer that the people doing this acted respectfully all the time ? Sure. But i don't think there are enough people doing it at all right now, so i'll take what I can get.

I do have a great deal of sympathy for the cops who are legitimately doing the right thing and have to deal with assholes trying to provoke them.

I have a lot less sympathy for the out of control cops that take that bait.

You wanna prop these people up on a pedestal, go right ahead. I know they are heros of yours. It's always good to have a hero or two. Youtube heros.

You have no idea what I or anyone else does to ensure Rights. You may do nothing but hero worshipping, that does not mean others don't.

As for the supreme court cases won because of these fame seekers, can you provide those cases and the YouTube sensations that won the cases?

Thank you.

I was incorrect on SCOTUS cases. But quite a few made it to state supreme courts and circuit courts.

Heros? No. Never said that. But them being out there continually doing it is keeping it from being uncommon to the point where cameras aren’t being grabbed from your hands and cuffs placed on them like previous from you and I. Places that allowed open carry but still arrested you for it are no longer doing it in numbers like before.
