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

A Texas high school student was punished with in-school suspension last Monday after a teacher discovered he was wearing an American flag T-shirt, FOX 4 reported.

In Texas no less? CA, to be expected (reference to Morgan Hill High School t-shirt controversy). Somebody's messin' with Texas unless they've gone Katelyn on US...

Why does any busybody worry about what a student is wearing UNDER a hoodie?
I understand dress codes, but who does that?

Read the article. He wasn't suspended for the flag, he was suspended for violating dress code, which requires plain colored shirts. Why do people think they can use patriotism to break any rule they want?

Want to be an asshole? Put a flag on whatever you're going to use to be one and it's like an instant free pass.

At least the school back tracked and identified it as mistake. I would have been quite upset if they had supported the teacher.
