Confederate Flag Ban being Challenged as Free Speech Violation

We read:

"Bryce Archambo says, a high school administrator suspended him a day last September, when he disobeyed a direct order to take off his shirt or turn it inside out. It had a Confederate Flag on it. His hat did too.

He, his family, and some friends are now trying to prove their point, with a protest....

District lawyer, Tom Mickes, insists school administrators never suspended Bryce, they only asked him to turn the shirt inside out, because some students, both African-Americans and whites, might be offended by the rebel flag on it.....

Two more students tell News 4 a school administrator suspended them for not turning their shirts inside out.

Note that the article above includes a comment by a black who defends display of the flag. There is news of the protest here. It happens today.
