Oceanside district bans flags; walk-outs cause financial loss By: PAUL EAKINS - Staff Writer NORTH COUNTY ---- After a week of student demonstrations against stricter illegal immigration laws that resulted in hundreds of students walking out of class, confrontations with police and about 45 arrests, life pretty much returned to normal Monday at North County schools, district officials said. View a slide show However, flags were banned Monday at all Oceanside Unified School District campuses, as they had been at at least one Escondido middle school last week ---- a move some are calling unconstitutional. Three juveniles will face felony charges for incidents stemming from last week's protests, said Deputy District Attorney Robert Eichler, chief of the Juvenile Division of the San Diego County district attorney's office. And district officials revealed Monday that the unauthorized student walk-outs will cost North County school districts tens of thousands of dollars in state funds given to districts based on per-student attendance. Flag ban Oceanside Unified School District Superintendent Ken Noonan said Monday he has banned all flags, patriotic clothing, face paint and placards on campuses because they became an emotional flashpoint for both protesters and non-protesting students. "All those items were contributing factors in last week's disturbances," he said. More at the link listed above. Flags are bad.

1st Amendment rights are severely restricted at schools for a reason.
You gotta protest about something? Contact your government to -- let's see, how does that go -- peaceably assemble and petition it for a redress of grievances. But not at school, for the purpose of causing disruption of the educational process. By stepping on school property, you are willingly agreeing to abide by certain rules.

In NYC conservative protester/artist "Citizen Scott" was outraged that a public school wasn't flying the American flag any more. So at night he climbed the school yard fence and painted a giant American flag mural on the school. He was of course arrested. The funny part was that the reason the school wasn't flying the flag wasn't political, they were having the flag pole repaired.
Sorry that it doesn't relate exactly to the NC story. The article just reminded me of the incident.

The flags being banned are Mexican flags. I'm sure the schools still fly the stars and stripes.

Wearing an American flag is also disrespectful of it. http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html Not that these are laws or anything, but some people still find these standards important.
