A high school with what is described as "a history of racial violence" during the annual Cinco de Mayo celebration, ordered students who showed up wearing American flag shirts to either turn them inside out or go home, citing concerns that the shirts would incite violence from Latino students.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that officials at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hills, California were right when they decided to place concerns of racial violence over the student's right to freedom of expression, saying past problems provided sufficient and justifiable reasons for concern.
An attorney representing the students says he plans to appeal the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court if needed.
