Of all the anti-American sentiment imposed on students in today’s public school system, few incidents evoked more righteous indignation than when a California high school banned the display of patriotic T-shirts.

When a number of teens showed up wearing shirts bearing an image of the American flag, administrators at Live Oak High School instructed them to turn their clothes inside-out to avoid potential violence by Latino students. In the nearly four years since that May 5, 2010 incident, the students have fought valiantly – with the help of the American Freedom Law Center – in an effort to protect the rights of American students to express their patriotism.

The case finally reached the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, however, and the decision was a disturbing indictment of America’s current societal dysfunction.

In generations past, students were required to pledge their allegiance to this nation, resulting in a culture of positive self-identity, pride, and the belief in American exceptionalism. The unanimous ruling of these appeals judges, however, is that administrators should be allowed to prevent patriotic displays by citizens based on the possibility that non-citizens would attack them because of it.
