ACLU to School District: Students Have First Amendment Right to Wear U.S. Flag

The ACLU of Northern California has written the attached letter to Morgan Hill Unified School District in response to media reports regarding students at Live Oak High School being prohibited from wearing American flag t-shirts to school on May 5, 2010. The letter criticizes the school's censorship of the students' patriotic expression in light of student speech rights under the First Amendment and California law.
