Colorado governor defends 'Don't Tread on Me' flag after student told to remove patch

It sucks that the symbol is associated with assholes. I'm pretty left, but I've always liked the Don't Tread on Me flag.. The average person displaying this flag treads all over people's rights constantly, though.

Seems like whatever admin did this just mistook the permission they were given. Kid had a bunch of patches on his bag, some had firearms, school got direction from the district that they could have those removed, told the family, family removed offending patches, and that should've been that. But kid went to school and some busy body saw a patch on his bag and decided that any patch must be offending, so took it too far.

Also, the flag patch was approved, so he can wear it going forward. Unless there some clear pattern with the admin who drove this, seems like whoever manages them just needs to give them a don't be an ass talk and we can move on.

its so strange how obsessed americans are with flags

I've always thought the Gadsden Flag was for the more Libertarian types, the types that aren't fundamentalists pushing anti-LGBTQ+ stuff (but also aren't allies, and are more on the side of letting anti-LGBTQ people deny services and mistreat them as long as the government isn't doing it), but tend to vote Republican because... I guess because Democrats seem to be more controlling in government (or at least don't constantly yell about being small government while infringing on freedoms). I live in Alaska, and I see a lot of that here, the fuck off and let me do my own thing, I don't care what you label yourself as type.

I wouldn't call them hateful by any stretch. If anything, just apathetic about other people's health and safety in favor of their own freedoms. Funny enough, I think they're closest to original Colonists that lived during the revolution, and soon after those governing them saw how untenable that was as a governmental system.

Weird crossover
