Prevent the RUSD Flag Ban

The Issue

The Redlands Unified School District school board has proposed a policy that would prohibit flags that are not the American flag, California State flag, or Military flags from being displayed without prior authorization.

 "If the policy is OK’d, district employees and volunteers would be prohibited from promoting or recognizing events or ideological movements while representing the district or on official district sites and social media accounts.
Under the potential policy, flags, posters, digital displays, flyers, and other related displays would be removed from classrooms — unless approved by the superintendent for educational purposes."

The policy is a clear violation of First Amendment rights and such a violation of the rights of students and staff should not be allowed to stand.
