…there’s an all-white jury involved.
I would love to be the principal of this school. If this boy wins the case on retrial, I would be resolute to let the children wear whatever the hell they wanted to. And if that makes some parents mad, then they can be reminded of this:
Confederate flag lawsuit ends in mistrial
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A federal judge in Knoxville has declared a mistrial in a teenager’s free speech lawsuit over a dress code that banned him from wearing Confederate flag clothing.
The all-white jury deliberated about 13 hours but was unable to reach a unanimous verdict in the case of 18-year-old Tommy DeFoe.
Judge Tom Varlan dismissed the jury Friday.
DeFoe’s attorneys said they would like a new trial.
DeFoe’s lawsuit contends his rights were violated by an Anderson County schools dress policy that bars the flag from student clothing.
DeFoe’s attorneys are arguing for free speech. Fine. I’d like to see people show up for the next trial wearing shirts that display black men pissing on the confederate flag. I bet that would go over quite well!
