     If a school decided to ban the LGBTQ&c. Rainbow H8 flag, the media and the hypocrites over at the ACLU would immediately screech about intolerance and wrap themselves up in the Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n

     Would they argue such arguments from a content neutral<\/em> way?\u00a0 If they did, would they believe it?<\/p>\n

     If a student had a rainbow flag patch on his or her backpack, the school would probably give them an award. If a student brought a Confederate patch on their backpack… then they go on lockdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

     If you can ban a flag, then you should be able to ban a flag.\u00a0 But it’s kinda funny how these alleged supporters of civil liberties don’t have a problem with a flag, or any message or exercise of liberty, being banned if they disagree<\/em> with its message.\u00a0 For example<\/a>, the Confederate Battle Flag (and Naval Jack):<\/p>\n

“\u2026<\/p>\n

“Christiansburg is the lone school of the county\u2019s four public high schools to have a parking contract requiring that ‘vehicles must be free from displaying any flags or symbols that are deemed offensive to any race, religion, ethnic group, or sexual orientation.'”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Try banning this one...<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

     By that measure, could not the LGBTQ&c. Rainbow H8 flag be banned because it is offensive to many Christians, or even more so since it is offensive to other religions as well, including Islam?<\/p>\n

     Probably not, since the only criteria the ACLU and other Progressive tools have is this: “Does it serve to destroy Christianity and any vestige of Western Civilization?”<\/p>\n
