    Yes, just look at the problems it caused. A football game was cancelled because of it.
    RWers were going to show up, supposedly, in protest. Mass shooting, anyone?

    They don't mass shoot like tRUMP supporters do.
    Mass shooting avoided. For now.

    Some teenagers are incapable of behaving themselves and schools have to take their lack of self-control into account when setting rules.

    Mass shooters kill less people than drive by shooters and you damn well know who they are. And most mass shooters are the very same people you say are oppressed by the white man.

    schools try to keep the peace and make sporting event non-political, they broke the rules, unlike the in the white house, breaking rules has consequences regardless of the party

    Schools are neutral. Hence the policy NO Political propaganda. Neither left nor right.

    And it's the schools duty to prevent mass shootings or other violence the tRUMP induce Proud Boys are subject to do.

    The evidence is otherwise.
    Of course, it is.

    I can live with you thinking that.

    You can't explain so I don't put much value in your opinion.

    It is wrong to punish the innocent for the acts of the guilty..

    Teenagers? I'd say the same holds true for adults.. and at no lesser degree than teenagers.

    Your suggestion that the educators must be conservatives because the state is red is not fact based

    ALL North Carolina schools have rules against political banners. ALL of them.

    Why is there such a push to support breaking school rules? I guess it's like Christianity, those that claim loudest to be Christian tend to be the least Christian in their lives and those that support following rules with vehemence are the first to make exceptions.

    What's your solution to the problem? If the school district has credible information a donnybrook may occur at an event on school property, the district should do what?
    Teenagers operate under the guidance of their parents and schools. Both parents and schools have a legal obligation to guide and protect the young people in their charge.

    Ha! Tried that several times. I was told to stop because it's not on the test. But we had a lot of fun with syllogisms.

    Good question. I believe schools have an obligation to present themselves to students as a safe place and it follows, I submit, schools must take steps to limit students' political speech while on campus or attending school sponsored events.

    We have a clause in our contract that gives the teacher the final say in how the curriculum is delivered to students. Management can judge the teacher on the job they're doing, but they cannot direct the teacher on how to provide instruction. Teach to a test? We don't.

    This president is political no matter how you look at it. NC schools do have a certain amount of flexibility, but something as overt as a banner supporting a presidential candidate in the next election would not be allowed anywhere in the state. What happened here was not an issue of liberal educators blocking support for a president, but a state and school district acting according to the law by forbidding support of a presidential candidate. Look at the poster: https://wlos.com/news/local/school-...ame-amid-furor-over-cheerleaders-trump-banner

    Rather than homeschool, most parents would be wise to get a job and pay tuition at a private school.

    Good for you. We had no such clause. Our system for classroom observation was a checklist on a tablet. There were specific references to state standards that are considered 'test oriented'. When testing started to become the main focus, many of us brushed it off. I was big on language skills and critical thinking, but was warned and threatened several times. The obsessiveness about test scores prevented a lot of real learning. But, that's another topic.

    Displaying the political banner was a violation of school rules. It was neither patriotic or unpatriotic.
    Whether or not players kneeling at a game during the playing of the national anthem are showing disrespect for the flag and country is a matter of opinion. It is a violation of school rules in many school districts.
