Missouri student refused to remove clothing that displayed Confederate flag.

A federal judge has upheld the right of the Farmington (Mo.) School District to suspend former student Bryce Archambo for his refusal to remove clothing bearing the Confederate battle flag. Bryce, then 14, was suspended from Farmington High School for a day last year for refusing to remove the clothing.

Since the incident, the Archambo family has home-schooled the student.
