This is crazy! People shouldn't be fined that much for saying a word, even though it isn't something you should say but people make their own decisions. Donald Trump should DEFINATELY NOT be fined at all. He is flying a U.S. flag. People shouldn't get mad because he has patriatism. If that's how you spell it. Yes, people shouldn't wear clothes to scholl if they are too revealing.

Wow. That last comment was rude. Now that is why they made that law. It hurts. And most people don't "tease" lighter skinned people. Anyways some of these are pretty weird. Like Donald Trump cna hang a flag, sure. But maybe he could make it a little smaller. And here in Canada we have some rules about certain types of clothes, but they are just doing what theey think is right.
