Not safe to display American flag in American high school

This is a post by a lawyer and legal blogger I follow. He’s a lot brighter than I am, and he usually makes a lot of sense. he defends the opinion’s fationale more than I would but makes this very good point:

The school taught its students a simple lesson: If you dislike speech and want it suppressed, then you can get what you want by threatening violence against the speakers. The school will cave in, the speakers will be shut up, and you and your ideology will win. When thuggery pays, the result is more thuggery. Is that the education we want our students to be getting?
