We read:
"A Catholic civil rights group sued the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for allegedly violating the separation of church and state by criticizing the Roman Catholic Church's position on adoption by gay couples."

What's good for the goose is good for the gander. The constitutional prohibition on an established (government-paid) church has been twisted to mean complete separation of church and State. And in that guise, it has been held to outlaw any religious expression on public property or by any government. And it is undoubted that the position of the church on homosexuality is a religious one. See Romans chapter 1. So a Leftist administration of any sort at any level cannot take sides in a religious matter. It's actually closer to the constitutional provision than most interpretations have been in recent years.
The Flag Ban now Extends to Clothes
The latest:
"In the wake of last week's immigration-reform protests, one school district is taking drastic measures, banning all symbols of patriotism, both U.S. and Mexican. Beginning Monday, the Oceanside Unified School District is banning all flags and patriotic clothing. According to school officials, some students are using the garments and flags to taunt classmates."

I wonder what patriotic clothing is? Red white and blue clothing, I gather. But red white and blue are also the colors of France (that's the French flag above). And the Left all love France so we cannot have a ban on anything French can we? Perhaps that is why the ACLU is against the flag ban.
I myself do NOT see why the American flag should EVER be banned in America. And it is clear that any violence comes from those who hate the American flag, not those who display it.
The whole thing is just another chance for Leftist educators to push their usual gospel of everything being equal. This time they are saying that the American flag and the Mexican flag are of equal importance and significance in America -- which is clearly NOT so.
But below is another red, white and blue flag I kinda like:
It is of course the flag of America's most reliable ally.
Update:
There is now talk of cutting the funding of schools that ban the flag.
