That's all well and good, but if you want to know everything that's worth knowing about the Gadsden flag, you'll never get there without this:
"The shifting symbolism of the Gadsden flag"

I didn't say anything negative about the Gadsden flag.
I expressed my dislike for the remark from Wichita that I singled out. He's always going on (so to speak) about "leftists", but if you look at his entire body of work (so to speak), in this Politics & Religion section, it is abundantly clear that Wichita has no sensible understanding of the word "leftist" in the political context. His profligate and generally unthinking deployment of the word "leftist" on this forum is a case study of how some people have not the wit to know when they should be embarrassed for themselves.

Unfortunate situation, but it is also an example of the education system working things out. The School Board agreed with the student and overruled a teacher. That is how it is supposed to work. No one had to go to court.

The problem is snowflakes like you who think that a person just stating their opinion is somehow "treading" on you.
The United States is a free country. People are allowed to state their opinion even if you do not want to hear it. And if you get physical or violent with them you will go to jail.
Just ask the Proud Boys. They were like you. They liked to talk like tough guys online. But that does not work in the real world.
you can't make people shut up just because you disagree with what they say.[This message has been edited by fredtoast (edited 09-03-2023).]

I agree. Thank goodness we already got rid of the Christian groomers who tried to claim that the classroom was the proper place for a list of rules claiming the Christian god was the only true god.
Remember the crazy people who tried to make that argument?

Do you know what the difference between a dead puppy lying in the middle of the road, and a dead attorney lying in the middle of the road is ?
There are skid marks in front of the puppy.
That marxist educator was not stating an opinion. She was being a dictator.
Look on the bright side. Who was the one who shut up. "Don't Tread On Me" is still speaking.

I do. US currency.
People ?
I am always reminded about the people who think the big bang started life. That evolution improved it. Yet, fish turning into monkeys, then monkeys becoming man, all then, of a sudden evolution stopped.
Did you say crazy ?[This message has been edited by cliffw (edited 09-03-2023).]

Once again my point went over your head.
I was talking about the conservative Christian groomers who tried to argue that the Ten Commandments should be posted in public classrooms.
BTW no one has said the evolution has stopped.[This message has been edited by fredtoast (edited 09-03-2023).]
