In mockery of television show "Duck Dynasty."
One student arrived to class draped in a Confederate flag. Queen Creek Unified School in suburban Phoenix said they are sorry but that does not satisfy the most honorable and always well-meaning Rev. Jarred Maupin II, former Phoenix school board member,
protégé to Al Sharpton, whose conviction for lying to FBI was all overt racism, and who has very nicely styled non-African type hair, is not satisfied with that and remains outraged at the school creating a racially hostile environment.
He does have a point. You display a historical flag, one that carries emotional weight, one that provokes irrational emotional response, and get that response, then it is your fault for not controlling your flag displaying impulses.
What if the student brought a Death's Head Jolly Roger Skull and Bones flag then people even outside the school who didn't even notice the flag would start thinking about pirates and the environment turned hostile. We can all become hostile just thinking and talking about it. The school created a hostile environment by allowing something awful provoking hostility. The school, and we, must always be careful not to provoke hostility this way.
The other flags that provoke hostility are, the Japanese flag with the rays coming out as attacking when at war , the Nazi flag that usurped the pinwheel symbol that was easy to weave into fabrics, forever tarnishing flag and symbol, and Britain's flag because it looks like the Confederate flag and because they harshly bossed us around all over the place and attacked us, kidnapped our mariners, came here to kick our butts twice, burned our brand new capitol, so those four flags provoke hostility and if they're ever seen around here then, Buddy, it's on, law suit time.

Jarred Maupin II = Jarred Maupin also. It's a black thing. You wouldn't understand.
Jarrett Maupin II.
Plead guilty to making a false statement to the FBI. All he had to do was pay back some money and resign his school board seat.
Martha Stewart went to jail. Among others.
Is that a racial thing?
Why nobody bothers to mock the Amish remains a complete mystery.
The Amish don't seem to get in anyone's face. That's a big difference. But, mock away.
Apparently no one's seen Amish Mafia or whatever that show is. Or Breaking Amish. Or any of the other shows.
Beware of reality shows.
Wearing the Stars and Bars?
Whatever happened to Freedom of Speech?
I mean it covers burning the Stars and Stripes or carrying der Hakenkreuz through Skokie, according to the Lefties.
Whatever happened to Freedom of Speech?
Supreme Court precedent has stripped students of almost all free speech rights.
I direct your attention to, for example, Morse v. Frederick, where the conservatives+Kennedy held that it was perfectly acceptable to suspend a student for holding up a "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" poster while out of school and off school property. Their reasoning boiled down to "zomg drugs r bad", so "zomg racism r bad" doesn't seem like a particular stretch. :)
Heh. You hitch your wagon to Team Redneck when the Zombies come you'd better hope the Zombies don't taste like chicken...or they'll hit their limit and go to eatin.
IIRC the principal asked the kid to take off the cape (he was wearing it as a cape) and he did.
Simple. Oh wait.
MAKE IT A ISSUEEEEE!!!!
Now a couple hundred thousand vets who are offended by burning the US flag?
Pffft.
Lol, CEO.
Mmm. Tastes like ... chicken. :)
And yeah, I remember thinking when I heard this that rednecks are the last of the unprotected class (next to Christian and practicing Jews).
I bet the Duck Dynasty guys got a hoot out of being a school spirit thing. Water off a duck's back.
