Can you believe a student was suspended for wearing a shirt with an American flag on it?

SGT Jeremiah B. - "At Seagoville High School, students must wear a solid color shirt; there are exceptions for school or college logo shirts or ones supporting the U.S. military, FOX 4 reported.

The school principal, who was not on campus the day of the T-shirt incident, said the administrator misinterpreted the dress code, and apologized to Goode via phone call on Tuesday."

I understand the solid color policy, but with exceptions for shirts supporting the military, I would argue that an American flag does, in fact, fall within the guidelines of the school's dress code. The earliest instances of the Medal of Honor were for Soldiers valiantly and courageously braving enemy fire to keep the flag flying, which kept the Soldiers unified on the battlefield.

The principal himself said it was a misinterpretation. The school policy has its reasons, and the article is headlined to incite anger at the school, or perhaps disdain at the perceived violation of the freedom of speech guaranteed in the first amendment. None of that is relevant here, however; this is simply a case of one faculty member needing some additional training.

That's what I get for skimming. But yeah, this isn't one of those bizarre "flags are offensive!" situations. It's just some administrator enforcing a dress code incorrectly.
