Political bias is one thing, and stupidity is another, but tyranny is un.freaking.acceptable.
Students at Dos Palos High School protested Thursday—by wearing patriotic regalia to school—after a sophomore student was forced to remove a T-shirt depicting the American flag.
Officials at the Merced County school confirmed Thursday that Jake Shelly was forced to take off a red, white and blue tie-dyed American flag T-shirt on Tuesday. The shirt said nothing offensive, just: “United States of America, Washington, D.C.”
The school’s assistant principal issued Shelly a bright yellow T-shirt that read “DCV: Dress Code Violator” to wear for the rest of the day. He was given his shirt back after classes ended. “It was really embarrassing and humiliating to have to wear that all day—and just for supporting your country,” his sister Kaycee Shelly said…
Earlier in the day, he was speaking with a local news station when an unidentified teacher walked up to him, ripped off the microphone clipped to his shirt and told him he was not allowed to talk to the media.
The parents’ response should’a been, “Your apology is not accepted. Find these “educators” and remove them from their positions, now.”
