Student sues to wear Mexican and American flag sash at high school graduation
A federal judge is weighing whether to let a high school student wear a Mexican and American flag sash at her graduation this weekend in Coloradowww.independent.co.uk
No wonder there are so many lawyers in America. The school is being very mean in this instance.
None.
Sure. I don't mind Bingos signaling their bigotry to potential colleges and employers.
The harm is to her freedom of expression. If it's under her clothing then she isn't being allowed to express herself in the way she desires.
Why?
Simply respecting every students right to express themselves how they see fit respects that neutrality. Any requirement or mandate isn't neutrality, it's enforcing the sentiment of the people making the rules on everyone else.
It sounds like you say that everyone should be able to wear whatever they want at graduation. But first you ask why it should be that way.
Who cares if people complain? Is that the standard? People are now complaining about this rule aren't they?
Agree to disagree. I don't think it's the school's job to cover up a students bigotry. I think it's job to address it and educate about it.
You counsel coddling graduating seniors. I get it.
That's been the standard in the U.S. since the 1st Amendment was ratified. People redress their government. If government officials ignore them, they will lose their jobs and not be government officials any more. Remember that people only have rights that society agrees to bestow on them, so that girl has no right to her Mexican Flag-American Flag sash over her robe.
I don't think they should have to see them on school grounds as a condition of participating in the graduation ceremony.
It's too late for that on graduation day.
Until they are off the school grounds, absolutely. I don't support supporting them with welfare for the rest of their lives after graduation.
We aren't debating whether or not she has the right, we're debating why she doesn't have the right and your answer appears to be an appeal to tradition.
So to you the 1st Amendment is about the government banning images it doesn't want people to see under the guise of protecting them?
And yours is everywhere as always.
If one is free speech, then all need to be free speech, I’m good with it however it does open up a Pandora’s box.
She doesn't have the right to wear her sash over her graduation robe because the school and district are running the ceremony and do have the right to set a dress code, so long as it is content neutral.
No, the image of that sash is "banned," and neither are racist slogans, and porn. The sash is not welcome at a specific place during an event being run by district.
So an appeal to authority. OK. Just so long as we're clear what fallacy your reason rests on.
So it is banned. Don't be a coward about it. If you're in favor of the government banning certain speech it thinks are too much for people to handle just be man enough to admit it. This ***** posture where you say it but then contradict yourself right after is like Budlight and Target trying to promote gay pride and them immediately caving to right wing outrage. It's two stupid moves when you could just make one uncomfortable one.
More appeals to authority do not rationalize your previous appeals to authority you dumb Simp.
The question is why you think they shouldn't be and it seems to boil down to, because an authority said so. Good reasoning there guy.
That is not an appeal to authority. You need to learn English better so you stop embarassing yourself.
It is an appeal to authority. You crying about me exposing it doesn't change that fact.

Yes. Try a red herring that will solve your fallacy problem.Here, try this:

But the school sets down the rules for school and how to dress for graduation. Two days ago in my area they would not let 30 students into the graduation because they did not wear the shoes set down in the dress code. Public school.
