Lol Bilbo I think it's just because we are advocates of common sense. When the principal made his decision it was one of common sense, politics just weren't involved most likely.

Common sense always falls in the center and on this issue, you have people stuck on the right or left wings both arguing for the same point. The leftists would rather see the world crash and burn before they would stand to watch someone's perceived civil liberties violated in any shape or fashion. People own the right can't believe what the world is coming to when someone wears an American flag in America and has to take it off.

The more politics creep in, the more context is lost and the more common sense takes a backseat.
