  • I didn't realize the glasden flag was a religious symbol used by many different countries and cultures. Oh wait, it's not..

    Also if your definition of ban is that loosy goosy then wow.

    Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me that you didn't read the article, because it ends with the school allowing the student to display the patch after a meeting because they knew of the historical significance... They just made sure he couldn't wear the other patches, which had semi-automatic firearms on them..

    So why tf are you here arguing about a ban that didn't fucking happen?
