The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles does not have to issue license plates with Confederate Flags on them



So says the Supreme Court by a 5-4 vote.

More on this soon  but some 2305 students are writing this thing up.

- ScotusBlog: Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans.
- Oyez: Walker v. Sons of Confederate Veterans.
- The Supreme Court decision.

The court ruled that a license plate is government speech, which it can regulate, rather than private speech, which it cannot.

More on this soon.
