re: My brother almost got suspended on America Day...

That was a hunnit % freestyle big willie style

We can't take people at their word, assume everyone is an evil racist kkk white nationalist

Why did your brother wear a Trump shirt that said “build that wall” on America Day?


That shirt is about as American as a Barack Obama’s shirt.

Presidents come and presidents go, but America sustains.

Because he's against illegal drugs flowing in from our southern border was the sitting president's main issue?

Great. Now what about that celebrates America?

“Celebrates” being the key word.

Your brother should get six of his friends to claim the other person said something racist toward them and threatened them.

I was told by someone who grew up in Chile that when they study geography in school they are taught that there are only 6 continents, rather than 7. They lump North America and South America into one continent.

This has nothing to do with your story, but I thought it was interesting.

Or is there still hope to rid of PC culture ? There is no chance that this situation would have played out the same even 10 years ago when I was in high school.

That part doesn't make sense, considering this part...

I would fully support my brother being reprimanded if their was proof he said something of the sort.

The only thing "PC" about the whole situation is that saying something racist or hurtful to another student would be punishable. A kid "almost" getting trouble because three other kids falsely accused him would have happened 10 years ago, 30 years ago or at any time. If anything, he'd have been more likely to get in trouble back in the day because back then it wasn't considered as likely that people would lie to get others in trouble.

if I was the AP/school and had to deal with all of that yesterday, SOMEONE would be reprimanded. Because now you either have a racist verbally assaulting young girls, or a liar(s) slandering people who they disagree with just to get them in trouble.

If you don't know which of those you have, who would you reprimand?

Celebrates

was it "celebrate America" or "America" day? regardless, shite is subjective more often than not. for instance maybe he was celebrating America by demonstrating that he's allowed to have an opinion that isn't popular or that other people don't like

kids need to learn and be able to handle that people have different opinions and beliefs and should learn how to handle it like a mature adult. they used to teach shite like that. what one person sees isn't what another person sees, etc.

Pretty sure it's only against the code when it's made from a real flag. Wearing clothes that have the red and white bars, navy box, white stars, etc. isn't considered a violation of the code.

that's actually against the code in and of itself

quote:

---

The words "flag, standard, colors, or ensign", as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.[2]
