Could use some crowd sourcing here. I posted this on social media elsewhere and a conservative friend asked "what's the issue here?" And they made a comment about "other than those flags flagging" and I would like to know a good response. How would y'all respond?
Okay so I hit them with this..."The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects LGBTQ+ pride flags in school settings as a form of free speech, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says that banning them violates the First Amendment. Also, the First Amendment protects some forms of symbolic speech, including the display of Black Lives Matter (BLM) flags in classrooms." What do you dudes think?
@lisaannlm I honestly don't know.
@scottyorange Was asking because I am thinking about wearing something to send a message about where my politics lie.👊
@scottyorange If there is something from the SCOTUS about flags being a form of speech.
Back in the day they said burning the flag in protest was a form of speech.
@scottyorange Does that include less obvious forms of symbolic speech like wristbands and armbands?
