(CNN) -- A California school that stopped students from wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo didn't violate their constitutional rights, an appeals court ruled Thursday.

The school's approach, according to the appeals court, kept students safe in a climate of racial tension.

"The controversy and tension remained," a panel of judges from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals said in their opinion, "but the school's actions presciently avoided an altercation."

School officials were worried about violence and disruption of school activities "and their response was tailored to the circumstance," the opinion said.

The case dates back to May 5, 2010, when the principal of Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California, asked a group of students wearing American flag T-shirts to turn their shirts inside out or take them off.

The students at the Northern California school refused, according to the appeals court's summary of the case, and later brought a civil rights suit against the school and two administrators, arguing that their rights to freedom of expression, equal protection and due process had been violated.

Judges said the civil rights case forced them to weigh the difficult question of what takes precedence: students' free speech rights or school safety concerns?

According to court documents, the incident occurred amid "ongoing racial tension and gang violence within the school, and after a near-violent altercation had erupted during the prior Cinco de Mayo over the display of an American flag."

The previous year, court documents said, a group of students carrying a Mexican flag had clashed with students who hung an American flag from a tree and chanted "USA" on Cinco de Mayo, a holiday marking a famous Mexican military battle that is often celebrated in the United States.

In 2010, the appeals court said, "threats issued in the aftermath of the incident were so real that the parents of the students involved in the suit kept them home from school two days later."

"Judges said the civil rights case forced them to weigh the difficult question of what takes precedence: students' free speech rights or school safety concerns?" I guess the judges were obliquely correct, there is nothing more dangerous to a growing government despotism than freedom of speech.

Funny how "school safety" concerns were not even considered when Federal Marshalls were used to force the integration of Southern Schools in the early days of the Civil Rights movement.

When are patriots going to get tired of having their noses rubbed in Marxist shit? When are patriots going to draw a line in the sand and say, "We do not consent to your lording over us."


"Operation American Spring" 16 May 2014 in Washington DC. be there to protest and demand the resignations of Obama, Eric (The Thug) Holder and Obama's Marxist Junta.

It is embarrassing that the Ukrainians have shown more courage, tenacity, and devotion to freedom than we who claim the heritage of the Founding Fathers of 1776.

We need to call for a national day of wearing American flags in schools in protest of this affront!

Flashback: ‘Si Se Puede!’ Mexican Protesters Slap U.S. Flag to the Ground at Morgan Hill Rally (Video)

On Friday, as TRN reported, a Federal court approved banning the U.S. flag in a U.S. school to appease violent threats from Mexican students, at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, California. Millions of Americans were outraged by this disgraceful opinion.

This followed a 2010 incident on Cinco de Mayo, when American students wearing U.S. flag t-shirts were ordered by the principal to take them off, and then sent them home when they refused to do so. The students later sued and evidence at trial showed numerous violent racist threats from Mexican students at the school.

So the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco Friday ruled 3-0 to appease Mexican racists at the school and censor free speech of American students.

Well few people have seen what the Mexican students did the day after the incident in 2010.

They held a “rally” to denounce the American students for wearing the flag. One of the “protesters” slapped an American flag to the ground, and then marchers went to the school grounds chanting: “This is occupied Mexico”…”This is all our country…we are all Mexicans”…”We want respect”….”Si Se Puede”
One of the students, Juan Bernardino, 18, was arrested for making criminal threats against a classmate — specifically telling one of the t-shirt wearing students he was going to have his MS-13 cousin come down from San Jose and “take care of you all”.

Let’s take a look at who three Federal Court justices decided to reward:



Let’s also recall, from Court records, what happened the year before the 2010 incident, when Mexican students prowled the schools “shoving Mexican flags” in the faces of non-Mexican students, who were angered and created a “makeshift U.S. flag” which they “hung on a tree” on campus:

A group of Mexican students had been walking around with the Mexican flag, and in response to the white students’ flag-raising, one Mexican student shouted “f*** them white boys, f*** them white boys.” When Assistant Principal Miguel Rodriguez told the student to stop using profane language, the student said, “But Rodriguez, they are racist. They are being racist. F*** them white boys. Let’s f*** them up.” Rodriguez removed the student from the area….

So instead of preventing racist Mexican violence, the school decided to outlaw America — and the 9th Circuit Court agreed!

Appeasing racist thugs only emboldens them. For a preview of what you may see in a few years at Live Oak H.S., just take a look at what happened at another California H.S. in 2006.

At Montibello H.S., in a “protest against enforcement of illegal immigration laws,” Mexican students forced down the U.S. flag and hung it upside down under a Mexican flag…


Coming soon to a California high school near you, thanks to the traitors who sit on the 9th Circus Kangaroo Court.
