I just watched this video on that, the teacher needs to go. The teacher is associating the flag with slavery while it's origins go back to the Revolutionary War


Dumb arse teacher missed an educational moment there. If she knew anyting about history she would know one of the first people killed in the Revolutionary War at the Boston Massacre was a free slave named Crispus Attucks.

She just couldn't miss out on her chance to Virtue Signal. Sad.

I just read that the school board reversed the school and voted that he does have the right to display the patch.

For what it’s worth, the school is a charter school. And it purports to be based on classical educational theory.

Woke destroys everything.

In other words, the board of directors and the district are waving the white flag.

Jaiden has taken the field of battle in a victory that would make General Washington himself proud.


Upon learning of these events today, The Vanguard School Board of Directors called an emergency meeting. From Vanguard's founding we have proudly supported our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the ordered liberty that all Americans have enjoyed for almost 250 years. The Vanguard School recognizes the historical significance of the Gadsden flag and its place in history. This incident is an occasion for us to reaffirm our deep commitment to a classical education in support of these American principles.

At this time, the Vanguard School Board and the District have informed the student's family that he may attend school with the Gadsden flag patch visible on his backpack.
