For those curious, the Red Arrows are the UK version of the US Air Force Thunderbirds or the US Navy Blue Angels. They belong to the RAF. The Royal Navy doesn't have a demonstration team for the simple reason that the Royal Navy doesn't have a separate air force. Instead, the Royal Air Force operates the aircraft which fly from the British aircraft carriers. I've heard arguments both for and against this system, but it's their system, so it's their decision.
A comment on a recent Supreme Court decision. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in the case of MAHANOY AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT v. B. L. that a high school student's blog rants could not be used against the student by the local school district for disciplinary purposes. Specifically, the young girl (B. L.) was not promoted from junior varsity cheerleader to varsity, and she went on a teenybopper social media rampage. The school promptly kicked her off the team. So what? The Supremes ruled that not only did the girl have freedom of speech, but that the school board overstepped their bounds: "The circumstances of B. L.'s speech diminish the school's interest in regulation. B. L.'s posts appeared outside of school hours from a location outside the school. She did not identify the school in her posts or target any member of the school community with vulgar or abusive language. B. L. also transmitted her speech through a personal cellphone, to an audience consisting of her private circle of Snapchat friends."
Why does this matter? Back when I was writing The Grim Reaper, in Chapter 12 there was a major uproar when the bad guy (Candy Pants) was expelled from his first high school and ended up playing football for the rival school. That was considered a violation of the Georgia High School Association's sports regulations. Instead, the school district ruled that the events causing the expulsion (Grim's beating) didn't happen on school grounds and therefore weren't sufficient cause for Candy Pants to be forced off the team. It's like I predicted a SCOTUS decision! Just thought that was weird.
