Welp, apparently free speech is not allowed on this Texas high school campus, where two seniors who participated in the school's paint-your-own-parking-spot tradition have been asked to paint over their spots.
You'll never guess why…
Yes, the two parking spots are Trump-themed.
Can't have that!
Here's what they look like:
Two of the most beautiful parking spots in American history. There have never been such perfect, beautiful parking spaces as these.
And now at least one of them, the Trump mural, has been painted over because free speech is on its deathbed in this country.
Last week, seniors got to work, and at least two students chose to make their spaces pro-Trump. One painted a mural of Mr. Trump wearing American sunglasses and a bandanna. Another put 45/47 in their space, referring to Trump as the 45th president and predicting he would be the 47th.
The district has guidelines for spaces. ‘Use only appropriate words, symbols, and images,' the guidelines document reads. ‘Spaces with inappropriate content will be painted over, confiscated, and re-sold.'
The guidelines go on to read: ‘KHS has the right to paint over, confiscate, and re-sell spaces that include content determined to be inappropriate by the administration, including but not limited to controversial, offensive, or obscene material.'
Nothing is expressly mentioned about political messaging.
So it looks like Keller High School thought the Trump theme was too offensive for Indian Nation.
Funny, there's not really anything controversial, offensive, or obscene about the spots. I mean, 45/47 is literally just a fraction that equates to about 96%, so I don't see anything offensive there.
And Trump in a bandana and sunglasses — is that really so bad?
Yet the school is having the spots repainted!
Keller High sent this statement to a local news outlet:
We can confirm that there were a few spots that had to be repainted because they included content that had the potential to cause unnecessary distractions to the learning environment. Every year, a few students will attempt to include a political message, controversial statement, or inappropriate words or images in their parking spot painting. When that occurs, campus administrators allow them to repaint their space.
I wonder if they'd do the same thing to a Pride or BLM flag!
