Yet Another Student Ordered To Remove His US Flag

[Ayatollahgondola]

Last night on one of the news stations reported that there was yet another story about a school boy ordered to remove a US flag he had mounted on his bicycle. They interviewed the principal, and he said that it was because of complaints by the mexican students. Sorry, he said Latino students. I'm trying to locate the source of the story for linking, but it has been elusive thus far.

I'm for creating a flag fund here, so we can hold a few events to pass out flags at schools.

apparently this fad has really caught on too:

And this is just the beginning. Even the children in schools are beginning to get it and tired of the crap they have to put up with.

Here's the link to the original post story,

It was in Denair CA

A Stanislaus County school is forcing a student to take an American flag off of his bike.

Thirteen-year-old Cody Alicea put the flag there as a show of support for the veterans in his family.

But officials at Denair Middle School told him he couldn't fly it. He said he was told some students had complained.

This explains itself:

Parraz said the campus has recently experienced some racial tension. He said some students got out of hand on Cinco de Mayo.

"Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they'll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don't really want," Parraz said. "We want them to appreciate the cultures."

Parraz said if a disruption arises over a flag, they want it to be taken down to protect the safety of all students.

The teen's mother said she hopes to talk to the school principal to work something out.

Outside of the school, a large U.S. flag flies from atop a flagpole.

A friend of mine works in a school cafeteria, and she has a little American flag at her station. Some of the kids will ask her why she doesn't have a Mexican flag.

Her answer?

"Because we're in America"


I doubt there would such a "racial tension" in Parraz' school if the school system didn't push racial consciousness in the form of "diversity".

But the superintendent said he's trying to avoid tension on campus.
"(The) First Amendment is important," Superintendent Edward Parraz said. "We want the kids to respect it, understand it, and with that comes a responsiblity."

Is it just me, or is the above completely nonsensical? Mr. Parraz wants them to respect and appreciate the First Amendment, so he orders the kid to remove the flag?

What?

And of course, displaying the Stars and Stripes is unacceptable free expression on a California campus, but this is not (Warning: Do not view if you either pay taxes in CA or have high blood pressure): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hh4kgu3FlK8
