The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the officials' concerns of racial violence outweighed students' freedom of expression rights.
Court: School can ban US flag shirts for safety
These are students - not adults - and schools do have the power of in loco parentis,
But, if there are reasons to take the 1st amendment, then don't those same reasons apply to take the 2nd?
I am reminded of a quote by Benjamin Franklin that "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
