When my son was a senior in high school he was called down to the principals office and they told him he had to remove the 2 Dodge Ram decals from the rear window of his truck because the were cut from the Confederate Flag. He refused to remove them so they called the cops to the school to try to force him. He still refused....they said everyone else who had those same decals already removed them.....he said, well good for them, I am not removing mine. The told him he faced suspension if he did not remove them and gave him a day to think about it. When they called him down the next day to discuss it, my son handed them a letter from our attorney telling them to immediately stop harassing his client for exercising his constitutional right to free speech or face the consequence. They decided to rethink their position and let him keep the decals.
The worst part of the story is the whole problem arose when a young black teacher said he was offended by the decals. My wife told the administrators that she was offended when she went to a scheduled conference with that particular teacher and he never showed up. Many of his students said he stated in class that he would rather flip burgers than teach math. He said he was only there because they said he could teach gym class and coach. Now I ask you....what would you consider more offensive!
