    I didn’t realize the glasden flag was a religious symbol used by many different countries and cultures. Oh wait, it’s not…

    Also if your definition of ban is that loosy goosy then wow.

    Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me that you didn’t read the article, because it ends with the school allowing the student to display the patch after a meeting because they knew of the historical significance… They just made sure he couldn’t wear the other patches, which had semi-automatic firearms on them…

    So why tf are you here arguing about a ban that didn’t fucking happen?

      If someone “kindly asks you to not do something” or “beats you up until you stop doing something” both are banning that something

        Did you not read my entire comment? JFC give it a rest already. They didn’t ban it.

            Can you stop trying to be right? Because you’ve been wrong so much that now it’s just coming off as pathetically desperate now.

              The fact that they tried to ban the patch won’t change
