First Amendment Issues Alive and Well in Schools

Below is an article regarding a California school's decision to send five students home for refusing to change their clothes. These students all wore garments that had American flags depicted in some way. According to the article the school administration decided that these garments were "deemed 'incendiary' on Cinco de Mayo." Student's exercise of their first amendment rights can be a challenge for school personnel and administrators. It is important to know the legal issues that will confront a school system in these situations. Take a look at the article and post your comments for discussion. Have a great weekend.
