A group of students at Longmont's Skyline High School mounted a protest outside the school Friday to denounce their principal's decision to stop them from displaying the American flag.
Skyline principal Tom Stumpf issued a ban on all flags after seeing American flags used to taunt and harass students demonstrating in support of immigrants' rights, he said. The school has seen tension mirroring the national argument over immigration reforms being considered by Congress and at the state legislature, he said.

Banning the American flag?
Wow.
Yep, got the Confederate flag first. Now the American flag. The Mexican flag, on the other hand, flew freely.
Welcome to 50+ years of Moonbat cultural influence.
The patients have definately taken over the asylum.
Wait so it's perfectly alright to display and wave (in your face) the stinking mexican flag but the AMERICAN FLAG is banned??
Principal must be a mexican or a liberal.
My kids are homeschooled- in fact, they are done with this year already. I will not send send them to a government indoctrination center.
We teach them REAL history.
I see. The illegal immigrants weren't taunting or harrassing anybody with their arrogant display of Mexican flags on our soil, but they were being taunted by Americans taking offense and proudly displaying Old Glory. >{?I guess one man's taunter is another man's patriot.
Whatever happened to just good manners and a respected standard of right and wrong? Not everyone's views are equally right! Why are we continuing to treat each person's veiw as if was right and should be respected and just as valid when it's clearly wrong? Why do we adhere to the LIE?
This had better be an April Fool's Day joke.

"The ban applies to all flags, not just the American flag, Stumpf said in an interview with 7News."
"The flags were being used not as a symbol of cultural heritage, but the flags were being used as symbols of bigotry, a symbol of hostility," he said. "They were being used to inflame different groups, and we're just simply not going to tolerate that."
To equate protesters who defend America with people who demonstrably have contempt for America and Americans by banning BOTH flages is a grotesqurie possible ONLY in the warped Liberal mind.
Those flags WERE being used as sympols of cultural heritage and this moron is to librally warped to know it.
If it was the snowballing anger and hostlity that actually frightend the principal, well, we all know the source of that. It was predictable and predicted by patriots and sages since the dawn of this Nation.
Stumpf
This principal is cowardly to ban the American flag!These people who are here illegally deserve to be insulted and disrespected.These people waving the mexican flag are NO different than an invading army and are therefore enemies of America.Any action taken against them is perfectly constitutional.
As with everything, there are good homeschools and bad homeschools just as there are good public schools and bad public schools. Remember what happened in Andrea Yates' homeschool.

Bigotry? Hostility? The former is a strawman and can be rejected out of hand, but the latter cannot be denied. The natural defense reaction of a healthy body to an infection is inflammation. What we are experiencing is the national equivalent of a massive infection. While we are apt to tolerate low levels of infection without an aggressive response, there comes a point at which the natural defense reaction is triggered. We're just about at that tipping point.
The principal will allow the UN flag. Of that I am positive.
