School attempts to unjustly prohibit 7th grader’s ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ patch.
This Week’s Controversy: Middle Schooler Defends His Don’t Tread on Me Patch
In a Colorado Springs middle school, a brave student named Jaiden Rodriguez proudly displayed his Don’t Tread on Me patch on his backpack. Little did he know, this simple act would ignite a heated debate.
“The reason that they do not want the flag — we do not want the flag — is due to its origins with slavery and the slave trade,”
When a teacher spotted Jaiden’s patch, they anonymously reported him and his backpack to the administration. The school’s response was to explain to Jaiden and his mom that the patch symbolized slavery. However, Jaiden’s mom was not about to back down without a fight.
Jaiden’s Mom Fights Back
Jaiden’s mom decided to meet with the administrator to address the issue. She came prepared with research and facts to support her son’s right to wear the patch. She pointed out that the Gadsden flag had nothing to do with slavery and suggested that they might be confusing it with the Confederate flag.
“I am here to enforce the policy that was provided by the district,”
The administrator, sticking to the district’s policy, refused to budge. However, Jaiden’s mom had done her homework and discovered that the ACLU supported wearing, waving, or flying the flag. It seemed that the school district was misinformed, but they were determined to enforce their policy.

Jaiden’s mom, refusing to give in, demonstrated the importance of being a strong parent who stands up for their child’s beliefs. She reminded the administrator that the Founding Fathers fought against unjust laws and that this situation was no different. The administrator’s reliance on policy without considering the facts was simply absurd.
This entire incident highlights the need for educators to teach history accurately and fairly. It also showcases the power of supportive parents who are willing to challenge unjust policies.
Jaiden’s story gained widespread attention, with even Ben Shapiro interviewing him. During the interview, Jaiden eloquently explained the true meaning of the Gadsden flag and how it was a warning to the British, not a symbol of slavery.
Jaiden’s determination and intelligence shine through, making it clear that he is destined for success. Despite the school’s attempt to suppress his rights, Jaiden remains calm, collected, and poised. He understands his rights, knows the facts, and stands firmly for what he believes in.
