A Colorado boy was pulled from class after school officials claimed the Gadsden flag had ties to slavery.
A seventh grader at The Vanguard School in Colorado Springs, Colorado, was removed from class, according to his mom, after administrators said several patches on his backpack were in violation of the school’s dress code policy.
"They didn't want racism on school campus and I told them that was very subjective," said Eden RodriguezRodriguez says her son was told he was violating the school dress code policy, and he missed three days of school for refusing to remove the patch from his backpack. On Aug. 29, The Vanguard School sent Scripps News the following statement:
“I think it's great when kids express themselves in different ways as long as they're not creating a disruptive environment, certainly the Gadsden flag is a great iconic American flag, other kids have LGBT flags, others have flags of major political parties", he said.
