#ignorant #schools #gadsden

A student was allegedly kicked out of class in Colorado Springs for having a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. The school apparently claimed it has “origins of slavery”

What is the Gadsden flag and what are its origins?
Christopher Gadsden — a general in the Continental Army and congressional delicate — designed the flag in 1775 during the American Revolution.

The politician wanted it to serve as a symbol warning Britain not to violate Americans’ liberties that would rally support against coercion, according to Marc Leepson, the author of “Flag: An American Biography.”

At the time, the image of a rattlesnake was a Colonial-era meme representing unity between the 13 colonies — thanks in part to Benjamin Franklin, according to New Yorker magazine.

The snake’s symbolism spread across the US due to a biting satirical article penned 1751 by Franklin in the Pennsylvania Gazette. In the piece, the Founding Father makes a barbed offer to repay Britain’s royal family for shipping convicts to America — by setting rattlesnakes loose around England.

What does the Gadsden flag mean? How has its meaning evolved?

In recent years, the words “Don’t tread on me” have come to represent a more general opposition to government overreach in the US.

The flag itself began to gain popularity in Libertarian circles as a symbol boosting minimal government beginning in the 1970s.

Its popularity then surged — on everything from T-shirts to bumper stickers— after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to the New Yorker.

The flag soon became a favorite of Tea Party enthusiasts and die-hard Second Amendment supporters — along with an all-purpose emblem of independence, liberty and defiance.
