DENVER — School officials here said yesterday they plan to replace two Mexican flags removed from a local high school this week after a public outcry about the issue dies down.

School staffers at North High School took down the Mexican flags on Tuesday after receiving threats from callers who said they would come to the school and tear down the flags themselves.

"About 84 percent of the high school's enrollment is Hispanic, and 24 percent have limited English proficiency."

How many are legal?

[Kornev]

A democrat voting trend too.

[GeronL]

Oh believe me, that ain't the only place where they pledge allegiance to Mexico.

Don't ask, don't tell legacy...

It dont matter if the majority of the students are purple and speak martian. This is the United States of America, our schools will fly our flag, and should face steep penalties if they fail to do so.

What ever happened to the Great American Experiment where my ancestors put aside their Austrian/German/Scottish flags and languages to merge with a common goal?

Have you purchased your "Learn How To Speak Spanish in Just Three Weeks" CD ROM yet?

Since we're on the subject of learning in our high schools . .

4/5 of the price What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1960:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.
His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80.
What is his profit?

Teaching Math in 1970:
A logger exchanges a set "L" of lumber for a set "M" of money.
The cardinality of set "M" is 100.
Each element is worth one dollar.
Make 100 dots representing the elements of the set "M."
The set "C", the cost of production, contains 20 fewer points than set "M."
Represent the set "C" as a subset of set "M" Answer this question:
What is the cardinality of the set "P" of profits?

Teaching Math in 1980:
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100.
His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math in 1990:
By cutting down beautiful forest trees, the logger makes $20.
What do you think of this way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question:
How did the forest birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down the trees?
(there are no wrong answers.)

They can start flying the Ecuadorian flag over my office building any day. There is some consulate office there and every morning the entire ex-pat nation of Ecuador is outside, lined up to get in. If they have so much business with their gov't I don't know why they ever left the home country.

I don't know what the Native Americans would have to say about that.

Students should burn the Mexican flag. 1st Amendment, amigo.

LOL! You had me doing arithmetic on my fingers.

However, Bush flies the Mexican flag and other South American flags in his Spanish ads. Monkey see, monkey do.

Mike Rosen, host of a popular talk show on KOA-AM radio, tackled the issue during his morning show yesterday and Tuesday, arguing that it was "inappropriate" to display a foreign flag alongside a U.S. flag in a public facility.

To my knowledge schools don't fly the Mexican flag on the border. However, you would be surprised at the banks that fly the Mexican flag here. Money, money, money.
