: How AppealingEighth Circuit holds that a school district in Missouri did not violate the First Amendment rights of students who were sent home for refusing to remove items of clothing depicting the Confederate flag
Schools may act proactively to prohibit race-related violence or even excessive racial tension that forces unnecessary departures of minority students from the school. Based on the evidence in the record, the school's ban on the flag was reasonably related to a substantial disruption, did not amount to viewpoint discrimination, and did not violate the First Amendment. Therefore, we affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment.You can access the complete ruling at this link.
