But if that is true, how do you explain Title IX and the law that says a public school must comply?

Don't get me started on Title IX. That's a joke of a law in and of itself.

The Supreme Court says a lot of things. Doesn't mean I have to agree with them; I just have to abide by the laws.

That is the exact issue I brought up. Louisiana Parish doesn't know the law, and isn't acting within it when it threatens to punish public school students protected under Tinker vs. Des Moines by the highest court in our country.

Title IX visibly applies to sports. Tinker v. Des Moines does not.

Tinker v. Des Moines applies to any and all silent, non-violent protests that take place on public school grounds. It is about protecting civil liberties, not protesting specifically and it protects public school students on school grounds. It's history is steeped in students who chose to wear black armbands to school during the Vietnam War.

For the sake of argument, let's just say you're right. So, once again, where's the law that says they coach has to play them?

I don't know what that has to do with anything. I brought up a public school who sent notice that it would unlawfully punish its players for lawfully protesting.

It relates to what you said because even though the school or coach may not legally be able to punish them, they can get around that by just not playing them. They still get punished, it's just unofficial. Get it now? Need a 5 year old to explain it to you?

The Supreme Court does not make law. Only congress and states can. Congress can negate any Supreme Court decision

Congress cannot overrule a Supreme Court decision. The decision is the interpretation of the law. Congress can change the law that the court decided upon, or amend a portion of the Constitution, but it cannot ignore the ruling of the court.

Congress can only propose an amendment, not amend. That's up to the states.

Again, reread what I posted. No mention of congress overruling Supreme Court
