Court Rules ‘MAGA Hat’ Is Free Speech

MAGA hats: Trump campaign swag or symbols of hate?

Just a little bit of good news–

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals (of all people!) has ruled that a public school teacher in Vancouver, Washington, can wear his MAGA hat to a teacher training session because he has a Constitutional right to exercise free speech (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/u-s-court-appeals-rule-maga-hat-free-speech/).

Huh? Well, yeah–it is free speech. (Ya mean it isn’t?)

Yeahbut, yeahbut! We can’t have that! The principal called him “a racist” and “a homophobe” for wearing the hat and said it made the other teachers “feel unsafe.” Again, if you’re that big a doofus, you just have to wind up working in the, um, “education” industry.

The school principal threatened the teacher with “disciplinary action,” whatever that was going to be, won the first round in court, and then got smacked down by the 9th Circuit.

If you “feel unsafe” because someone wears a MAGA hat, you are an idiot.

And so you can wear your MAGA hat… but what’s really needed is to liberate America’s children from the Far Left crazies cranked out by our Far Left teachers’ colleges. Public education is too far gone to be repaired. It must be abandoned: it’s a threat to the future of our country.

Judge Rules: Baker Can’t Be Forced to Serve Same-Sex ‘Wedding’

Libs think the First Amendment only applies to them–no one else.

Wonder of wonders! A superior court judge in California, of all places, has ruled that the state cannot force you to say and do things contrary to your religious beliefs.

I’m not linking to this news story, nor providing any proper names, lest some troll should see it and use the information to launch a campaign of harassment against the defendant or the judge. It’s too bad I have to do that, but that’s the age we’re living in and it won’t get better for as long as Democrats hold public office.

The judge ruled that creating a wedding cake is “artistic expression”–which of course it is–and that no one can be compelled to create a work of art for a same-sex “wedding.” The baker did refer the, uh, “couple” to another bakery, but that’s never good enough, is it? Once they’ve got your First Amendment rights in the crosshairs, the Far Left will always shoot.

Simply, the judge ruled (I repeat for the sake of clarity) that the state cannot force a person to create a piece of art against his or her will.

As a novelist, that’s a relief to me. I can easily imagine a writer being sued for not including “positive gay characters,” or whatever, in a story. Don’t laugh: they fired the creator of Midsomer Murders–and “investigated” him, as if he’d committed a crime!–for not including more “minority” characters in his screenplays.

There are a lot of people out there trying to erase our freedom. But at least one judge isn’t with them.

Oct. 6 is ‘Bring Your Bible to School Day’

Well, this’ll get the Satanists’ knickers in a twist:  next Thursday is national “Bring Your Bible to School Day” ( http://www.bringyourbible.org/ ). Bring it in and talk about it with your fellow students.

Sponsored by Focus on the Family, and with legal backup provided by the Alliance Defending Freedom, the last Bring Your Bible to School Day, according to FoF, had 155,000 participants.

Why does there have to be legal backup?

Because ignorant humanist “educators” think it’s somehow against the law to be a Christian, and certainly against the law to mention it to anyone outside the four walls of a church.

For instance: We reported back in June that the Desert Rose Elementary School in Palmdale, California, called the sheriff and had a deputy sent to the family’s home because a 7-year-old boy was sharing Bible verses with his classmates. Taboo! Verboten! This dangerous enemy of the people must be stopped!

After legal intervention by the Liberty Counsel, the school district completely reversed its position–now a child can share Bible verses with others, even on school grounds–and claimed that earlier hoo-hah was just a “misunderstanding.” ( http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2016/august/school-district-oks-sharing-bible-verses )

So, yes, you can bring your Bible to school, you have an inalienable right to do it; and yes, the left-wing pinheads who run the schools are going to be upset, maybe even call the cops on you; and yes, if they’re called, rather than busting the school principal for wasting police time, the cops will come; and yes, you risk all that, if you bring your Bible to school. The schools love to have the Day of Silence to promote and coddle homosexuality, but they hate God’s word (surprise, surprise).

I’m not here to tell anyone to do it or not to do it.

But I’m rooting for there to be way more than 155,000 Bible-bringers this time around–way more indeed.

They can’t bust all of ’em!
