Louisiana teen told no Trump painting in school parking lot, but federal judge OK's it

For a $25 fee, high school seniors in Washington Parish can experience communal school pride by painting their assigned parking spaces. This year, Ned Thomas of Pine Junior-Senior High School near Franklinton commissioned a portrait: President Donald Trump, in a stars-and-stripes bandana and sunglasses.
Approval is required, and the school’s principal gave Thomas' design a thumbs-up under the school system's “Senior Paint Your Parking Space” policy, which bars foul language or images or use of another student’s name.
quote:
Then after the paint dried in early August, Washington schools Superintendent Frances Varnado coated Trump’s visage in a blot of gray paint with the School Board's backing. Too political, they said.
quote:
But a federal judge on Friday ordered Varnado and the School Board to let Trump’s face grace the space once more, finding Varnado's decision to paint it over violated the First Amendment.
U.S. District Judge Eldon Fallon, an appointee of President Bill Clinton, wrote that the Trump portrait is the kind of “pure political speech” that is not subject to limitations a school may impose on, say, vulgarity.

If I would have told you twenty years ago, that portraits of the American President would be banned by schools, you would have laughed.

I'm actually surprised the principal gave the nod initially TBH.

It really is time to partition this country.

Judge Eldon Fallon
For a Clinton appointee, Judge Fallon is a pretty solid Article III judge. Much props.

4 years ago even.
Remember all the schools singing the Obama songs and dances?

Holy poopie! There is indeed a non-partisan judge appointed by a Dem as far as this article tells. Excellent decision by the judge since it looks at the overall implications and not just what is politically hot today. Very well done.

I'm shocked that there are people that still don't get it: The American Left in Current Year are no less an enemy of freedom than the Nazis or Communists ever were.....
I don't know what more PROOF people need.

With respect, no. This country did that once before with grave consequences. It's time to unite this country and raise the ignorant up with wisdom and patience, anticipating something great as a result.

I’d like to see the plan for this - especially with over 90% of the media and higher education controlled by leftists and/or globalists.
