Discuss the issue of freedom of speech versus hate speech related to the use of a flag that denigrates black Americans during Black History Month.
People are defending freedom of speech and a person's right but you don't know what's in a person mind or heart. So you really can't defend their right to bring that flag to school without knowing why they did it. It just so happens to be black history month and we could assume that it is directed at that, but then why use a symbol used to denigrate black Americans. If you have the right to be proud white americans, shouldn't you respect the rights of blacks, jews, Hispanics and native Americans to be proud of their heritage too, without waving a flag that says "you're inferior to me because I'm white".
