No flag should be an issue, we have freedom of speech. If the kid wanted to fly the nazi flag, people should shut up and just deal with it.

Kids in school don't have the same rights as everyone else. Courts have allowed all kinds of restrictions on their speech. It doesn't make the decision concerning this kid's American flag any less stupid though.

It was on his bike. Schools seem to be getting more invasive when it comes to kids and their nonschool activities.

Most likely part of an organized effort at behavior modification and control. We see this at our local school here. Everyday so much homework is sent home with my first grader that if we did it all we would not have time for anything other than school work. No martial arts, no museums, no going to the park, no exercise....just straight up busy work to get him accustomed to sitting on his ass being bored and performing monotonous tasks all day.

When we don't do all the work, which is just about everyday, the teacher tries to make him feel guilty...or like a piece of shit and lower than everyone else.

They (the school) must not know that I know that they can't fail him.
