• Hat caused offense, but no disruption, an appellate court said
• Teacher can sue principal who threatened him with discipline but not school district

Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Thursday revived a Washington middle school teacher's claim that a principal violated his free-speech rights by threatening discipline if he continued wearing a "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) hat to training sessions.

A hat…this is what we’ve come to. Hurray for the enlightened human race.

Enlightenment comes with risk. Despite the grave threat to society, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals says it is legal to bring a hat to training sessions.

Protected "hate" speech.

That ought to elicit a lot of hateful commentary from the Left.

Only they have the right to hurl rhetorical Molotov's at those who merely disagree with them...

Who called it hate speech?
How many is "a lot" and who on the monolithic Left has said anything at all?
Why are you always the victim?

That was as disjointed a personal attack as could possibly be manufactured by feeble wit.

I agree, that's why I asked what your motivation was for it.

You manufactured a scenario and then blamed the Left for it.
Then you followed up by manufacturing an attack on you.
Why are you always a victim?

I assume you meant your post. I agree, you always find a way to attack the democrats and cheer for republicans (Libertarians).

I guess if its okay to wear a Deshaun Watson jersey, a Maga hat isn't a problem.

And they allow people to wear racist BLM shirts which stand for burn, loot and murder as trained by the Chinese Reds and backed by the Soro's Nazis antifa and the Socialist American Democrats. But both are free speech in that they are not a violent problem or cuss words, etc. The communists and Nazis here burn the American flag so it is OK for us to burn the flags of China, Russia, N. Korea, BLM, DNC, Cuba, etc. that we don't agree with. I don't go around burning down American cities or threating anyone’s life because they are not in agreement with me. We have the right of free speech and free press even if people in Washington are doing all they can to destroy our rights. People who are brained washed and uneducated make up their own fears and believe the lies of their masters without trying to find out the truth or allowing others to express their different beliefs. I'm willing to hear someone out as long as they are willing to hear me out. Life in this country is a two-way street. Example, they want to take Trump to court because he had documents (that he had sure the government knew about and were in a protected place) and they say he should not be allowed to run for any office again. Now we find Biden has done worst with unsecure secret documents in his "private file" unsecure and not guarded. So where is the call for him not to run for office again and to face a court of law? See everything is a two-way street. The is what freedom is about. So people can wear the hat and people can wear the shirt.

In Florida schools children are banned from wearing BLM shirts, but Confederate flags of insurrection are permitted.

74 In your world are our cities, schools, border, and families and business safer now or before Bidden and his fools came to power? Are our stores stocked better and cheaper now after the Gov. of CA and Bidden ruined our supply line with their green foolishness? Are our homes and cars and other transportation and factories better off now with higher prices and having pollution loving countries like China and Russia, etc. ruining the world and they being at fault of climate change? Are our kids safe from the knife of your Nazi style quacks who want to change their sex before they know what sex is? Since the Biden family of coke heads took money from China and Russia and with the other two stooges from Canada and Mexico do you find it is better being a third world dictatorship over taxed and two class sytem of royals and serfs? It's late and I want to hear your funny fairy story so I can fall asleep quicker bored with your lies.

Sounds like you're scared of things you don't understand..yet again.

I haven't had any issues at all. I just bought a new house. Sorry that you're struggling to make ends meet and such and that you're scared of drag queens and cities.

icanhelp everything else you wear and use comes from the slaves in China so why not put on a good looking hat that says inside it "Made in the USA"? And you don't have to go to China to hear lying propaganda. Our own media and Washington do that for us. And I'm sure they are pleased with your help. Did you watch Biden reading that speech he saw for the first time that was to explain why he was worst than what he charged Trump doing with secret documents? Poor fool normally can't open his mouth without putting his foot in it, but this was really funny. He should have had President Harris do it for him. She always gives a laugh to the people. Get out of your basement and look up the facts and figures before you join President Harris' uncle Joe and put another foot in your mouth.

Typical answer from the communist wing. No facts or checking to see what was said is true or not. Just call people names and lie. Never heard of the woke term ChatGPT? Another made up word or change of meaning for the dictionary of 1984? But at least by not saying I was wrong or proving that things are better now and safer with Bidden proves that you agree with the truth of my statement. I thank you very much for your support even if you do it by making yourself look bad. Just come out and say "Yes Biden and company have screwed up the country and the world." But get your meaning, you don't want to hurt the feelings of the poor little uneducated leftist. They are so delicate and easy to bring to tears.
