    I assume you would also abolish the black fist as it has been used to overtly promote racism.

    I'm saying the ones that took the Democrats up on the free housing sold themselves out to the Democrats and aren't smart enough to know it.

    So because people don't know what they are talking about and have a political opposition, forget the free speech thingy.

    Didn't you defend the school that was flying the LBGT flag? Are you saying LBGT is a subject without conflict?

    So did whites who took the Democrats and Republicans up on the free housing sell themselves as well and how smart are they. So folks who were living in shacks with no running water and squalor conditions would have been smarter to stay there.

    I do not remember hope and change hats... that said, no one ever associated hope and change with racism like the MAGA hats

    like I said, a school may allow gum, but if some students abuse it, the gum may be banned for everyone

    so the argument of, we could chew gum last year woudl not apply as it would be this year students were leaving chewed gum in all the wrong places causing a mess

    The fact that lunatics associate MAGA hats with racism should be a problem for the mental health profession, not Trump supporters.

    reason being the right doesn't pull the race card unless it is real racism not the make believe racism the left loves to put labels on
    so tell me what was abused with the student wearing the MAGA cap only abuse was the abuse of power by the bus monitor

    look we know the liberal strategy of labeling everything the left doesn't like as racist or hatful so to then justify censorship or even violence
    so just stop with the games it doesn't work

    There is no more racism in MAGA than HnC but you are saying one side gets to dictate to the other. How do we decide which is which?

    It was hat day they all got to choose which hat they wanted to wear.

    This bus driver is not even an administrator not a teacher, she is a probably low wage bus driver

    no, I am saying like there is no 'bad' in chewing gum, if some use the gum badly, it gets banned.... same with a trump hat (in a grade school environment with children there to learn)

    as for the bus driver, I do not know the entire story, did he ask the boy to take it off and he refused, not sure what happened there, he should of just refused to let him on the bus unless he took off the hat if it was making the children less safe

    bus's have rolled into ditches cause of kids fighting on the bus over lesser things

    same could be said of people that have issue with the Swastika, a valid religious symbol... but it is what it is... some people see the bad in such things

    what if this kid wore a hat with a swastika on it?

    The story is in the OP, it was hat day.

    And again
    Didn't you defend the school that was flying the LBGT flag? Are you saying LBGT is a subject without conflict?

    what if the kid was a Hindu, or American Indian, and the hat or t-shirt had a swastika on it.

    What if the kid ax murdered 60 school kids? I thought we were discussing what the kid did.

    In America, there is a broad cultural agreement that the Nazi symbol is a symbol of hate. This view is shared by the left and the right. There is no such agreement on MAGA hats. Trump supporters see it as a symbol of hope and change and view attacks on people wearing the hat as attacks on fundamental human rights and America's secular democracy. They see far left fringe nutters smearing the hat as an blatantly obvious attempt to gain political power through intimidation. I myself see the attacks on MAGA hat wearers as insane at best and morally reprehensible at worst..... they are attacks on the very foundation of our country.

    I am sure he would be asked to remove it due to the disruption it would cause

    I have never seen anyone complain of the rainbow flag being a flag of hate

    if those wearing the rainbow were causing violence, then it would be like gang colors and they asked not to wear them

    but to answer your question, no that was not me, I said that type of stuff should not be done in grade school

    just like chewing gum, only takes one kid to mess it up for everyone

    But racists love and promote Trump, and Trump appeals to them with his bigoted claims and policies. They are a part of his base.

    so tell me how do you use a hat badly? was he hitting people with it?

    and what was the justification of him being told to remove his hat? other then the blind bigoted partisanship of the bus monitor

    so you also buy into mob rule how fascist of you

    It isn't national news, anyway, except to those who subscribe to outrage culture.
