Bet she’s the history teacher too.

Defund the schools. Too many of them have become nothing more than libtard indoctrination camps.

It's 'disruptive' because the teacher CHOSE to make it so. There isn't another student on that campus that recognizes or knows what the Gadsden flag is about.

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis of Colorado defended a schoolboy Tuesday who was allegedly removed from a classroom in his state because of a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack.

Jaiden Rodriguez, aged 12, was allegedly removed from class in The Vanguard School, a charter school in Colorado Springs, Colorado, because his backpack had a patch depicting a Gadsden flag, a symbol of the American Revolution that school authorities said was “linked to slavery.” Polis, a Democratic governor serving his second term, commented on the flag and called it a “proud symbol of the American Revolution,” according to a post on Twitter, now known as X.

“The Gadsden flag is a proud symbol of the American Revolution and an iconic warning to Britain or any government not to violate the liberties of Americans,” Polis wrote. “It appears on popular American medallions and challenge coins through today and Ben Franklin also adopted it to symbolize the union of the 13 colonies.”

That teacher should go complain to the Navy. They've been re-flying the 1st Navy Jack on vessels since 2002, and authorized personnel to to wear it on their camo BDUs.

Bottom line: kids wins, teacher loses. Now how about some mandatory training for the teacher?

Now that's a good win!

Honestly, the shirt that I get the most compliments on is a shirt that has 1776 in bold on the front. People love it!

Every teacher/admin involved in the decision to deny that young man his 1st Amendment rights should be fired.

Let's make the scenario a little different. Let's say the kid had a rainbow flag patch on his backpack, and the teacher/admin told him he couldn't display it. Every school employee involved in that decision would immediately be fired, pensions revoked, cancelled, etc. The same should apply to this situation.

The school was smart to cave since they were completely off base. As well if that's a person in education she may want to go back to school and learn some U.S. History since she's woefully ignorant.

Good point. The rainbow flag is hate speech against heterosexual people.

Bingo, on many counts. This was a day or two before he was allowed to return:

It should go further up than just that school board's BOD. Like, to the state and federal levels.
