In case you are visiting from another planet, “Make America Great Again” (#MAGA) was one of Donald J. Trump’s slogans during the 2016 presidential campaign, while “Black Lives Matter” (#BLM) refers to a grassroots movement in support of people of color. Yet for some strange reason, many heavy-handed judges and school administrators want to ban these expressive articles of clothing from their courthouses and schools. Geesh! Whatever happened to the live-and-let-live rule?
I don’t think kids today are familiar with that rule (certainly never heard of it and I was only in high school 3 years ago). My school let you wear what you want to wear (can’t wear any hats though of whatever kind for some reason) prior to going to a county enforced uniform policy (happened the year after I graduated). Nothing says like freedom than taking away what you actually want to wear and having no say in it!
What about cowboy hats? Those anti-hat policies are way too paternalistic.
