More leftist lunacy

[SpaceCoastVol]

So I am on a layover in Los Angeles. I rarely ever turn on the TV but for some reason this morning I did. The first thing that struck me as I flipped thru the channels was that PMSNBC and CNN were represented, but Fox News was waaaaaay down the channel list. Somewhat surprising, but not really. So I turned on a local 'news' channel and there was a story about a local high school football team that started each game by running onto the field with both the American flag and the Thin Blue Line flag. Several years ago there was a school shooting at this particular high school and some off duty cops ran into the fray. So the kids want to show thanks and respect for those that ran towards the gunfire. But, it is the Peoples Democratic Republic of Kalifornia, so it is "controversial". Care to guess why? If you guessed that it represented white supremacy, give yourself a cigar. The ACLU is filing suit to stop the kids from doing this because some of the local Peoples are butthurt about it.

White Supremacy.

President Trump was right when he described some places as a **** hole. California certainly fits the bill

Is this the place where the kids were told to stop, but continue to run out with the flag?

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that there may be a bit more to this than you are telling us.

If there’s not are you willing to admit how pathetic your leftist cult happens to be?

Spoke with more Californians than ever have in my life over the summer. I live in Middle TN and we have taken in several political refugees from the Hell Hole that is Cali. Pretty much everyone of them confirmed that whatever you believe California to be from afar, it’s worse! I don’t doubt your story at all brother.

I need to know what is going on with this, the full story, to answer that.

I'll hand you the saw. You should come out here and see what it is that you support. It's truly disgusting

California high school bans pro-police ‘thin blue line’ flag from football games

Good for them. **** the man.

Yes. Your leftist cult. The one that can’t stop spewing their garbage while attempting to use any means to shut up or distort conservative voices. The one that ruins cities and then flees from them. The one that enables criminals while attempting to take away 2nd Amendment rights.

 

[hog88]

While not a supporter of the "thin blue line" I do support free expression so this is pure idiocy. We've become the land of the offended and feelings trump common sense.

You don't seem to often get the full story before you go on your rants about conservatives and Republicans.

Yes, why is Fox news so far down the channel list. This isn't new

I was in High School when this article from SI came out and always stuck with me.

I don't think so. You're party is a bunch of mental ill fools

PMSNBC. Lol.

Imagine being in your 50's and thinking that was witty.

Ok, as usual, a lot of distortion by the echo chamber.

According to even Fox, the issue is that the team's coach thought that the flag might be viewed as "divisive." That's a quote. Divisive. Not racist as OP claimed was the issue.

California high school football players fly thin blue line flag despite ban: Report

I also cannot find any reference to a lawsuit by the ACLU to force students from carrying such a flag. Does OP or anyone else have a link to something referencing the claim from OP that "The ACLU is filing suit to stop the kids from doing this ..." because that appears to be incorrect.

Personally, I disagree with the coach (I see some articles that its a district decision) on this point. I just wanted to point out that the claim that its because some authority has decided its "racist" when all I can find is that its "divisive," and the claim that there is an ACLU lawsuit to stop display of the fact, both seem inaccurate.

Why would it be “divisive”? What’s their mascot? I bet some find that “divisive”.

For the record I don't have a problem with the school boards decision to prohibit it's use by the team so long as they take a similar stance in all matters that may be controversial or divisive to some.

I would caution that this sets a standard they must adhere to equally across the board though.

So it was banned?

Don't know, doesn't matter to my point. I read the OP's rendition of this and his characterization of the facts seemed to me to be suspect. So, initially asked for something backing it up. Did not get anything of value.

So, I checked the internet for information on it and found what I posted. I cannot find reference to an authority telling the kids they cannot fly it because its racist, nor did I find any indication that the ACLU has filed a lawsuit to stop display of the flag, as OP claimed.

In the larger scheme of things, it is emblematic to me of the problem with the right in this country, and particularly the echo chamber effect, combined with the telephone effect. The initial word is "Bobby was late getting home from work." In the right wing blogosphere/social media, that becomes "It has been reported Bobby was late getting home from work because he stopped at a gay bar and impregnated 7 illegal immigrants."

Followed by "prove its wrong."

For the record I don't have a problem with the school boards decision to prohibit it's use by the team so long as they take a similar stance in all matters that may be controversial or divisive to some.

I don't agree. Something like this is so innocuous that I do not believe it creates a need for balance. If another team wanted to fly a flag with a BLM emblem on it, fine by me.

 

[lawgator1]

So it was banned?

I'm not sure if it was, or by whom.

I see no reporting that if it was, it was because it was deemed racist. Nor that the ACLU has filed suit. My point is that OP has, as far as I can tell, reported falsely.

5.3m registered republicans in the state of California.

That's probably more republican's in California that don't have a voice than there are registered republican's in total for 10+ other states, combined.

Makes one wonder if the winner take all method of the electoral college is a fair application of the will of the people.

If they have been banned from flying a flag - I would expect the ACLU to be representing them, not suing them.
