Consider this hypothetical situation.  Say a student in high school that has perfect grades and just got his/her driver's license shows up to school and parks in the student parking lot.  This student happens to be driving a 4x4 pickup truck that is either flying the Confederate flag or might have stickers on his/her vehicle with a Confederate flag.  He/she happens to be wearing a "MAGA" hat.  It doesn't really matter if this hypothetical student is black or white, what matters is the "message" that he/she might be spreading.  This student would probably be suspended and/or expelled for "hate speech" or "violence".

The Constitution and what it means isn't really taught anymore.  Students are "taught" what to think rather than teaching actual history with the facts and letting them make their own minds up.  That goes from public school all the way up into college.  That's why so many of us label schools nowadays as "indoctrination centers" rather than institutions of learning.  School should be about learning.
