Little Pride
In Texas, Aubrey School District Superintendent Debby Sanders says students are free to show their support for the military, just as long as that support doesn't measure more than 1.5 inches by 1.5 inches. At issue are the jackets worn by a couple of middle school students that have the Air Force logo on them. The logo is larger than permitted by the school system's dress code. The two have been told they must put the jackets in their lockers when they arrive at school, and their father says they have been threatened with disciplinary action if they continue to wear them.

Arbitrary rules are what the Chair Force fought for in WWII!
Good. Never liked that ridiculous logo.
call in an air strike?
I'm assuming "jackets with large logos" is an updated version of "sagging pants" or "unconventional hairstyles" or "backwards baseball caps."
