It looks like the authorities have lost control. Now is the time to rub their nose in it.
Means nothing.
60% of the State of California passed Prop 187.
One judge overturned it.
Guess who won.
"What we want to know is, since when was it against the rules to have an American flag on a car, in a car, in your hands in a school?" student William Cassity said to 7News.
Two state lawmakers weighed in from their shared office at the Capitol on Friday with e-mails criticizing Stumpf's flag rule.
"Be prepared for legislative action and legal action against you to follow," wrote Republican Sen. Steve Johnson of Fort Collins.
His office mate, Sen. Tom Wiens, R-Castle Rock, said in an interview that Stumpf should have found some other way to ease the tensions in his school. "Clearly, there are ways ... to manage any sort of conflict that students might have that don't diminish the respect that we should have for the flag," Wiens said.
Does this school even have a pledge of alligence or national anthem anymore?
So now it's racist to display the American flag.
TOTAL GARBAGE

How 'bout some nice emails FReeper-style!
My senior year in high school (1988) I refused to say the national anthem because I came during a class with a teacher that refused to display the flag. In my opinion you face the flag and make the pledge.
She told me to solve the problem without a perminant mark on the classroom.
I began wearing my EF-111 flight jacket (all correct patches)to class (she despised that).
I would pull some velcro wall decoration off and apply the american flag in its place and say the pledge. Did I mention that I had my entire class supporting me.
Oh, and by the way it was a Government/Economics class.

Did the school make the right decision in banning the U.S. flag?
No 88%
Yes 12%
Total Votes: 119,734
Note on Poll Results
The ban includes T-shirts and other clothing that have replicas of the flags. At least for now, it also includes Mexican or American flags flown from the antennas of cars parked on school property.

Good for you. CAn you tell us what state?
""As an educational leader, I am powerfully committed to collaboratively promote the successful learning of all students at Skyline High School, while simultaneously optimizing humaneness and respect for all, staff and students alike."
Tom Stumpf, Principal
This sounds like it was written by an eighth grader trying to pad an essay exam.
But if they burned it, everything would be just hunky dorey?
You are being over complimentary.
Stumpf is a coward and a scumbag.

I'm from the MIlwaukee Area. There is no St Francis College. St Francis Seminary is a Catholic Institution. This guy may or may not have been trained as a Catholic Priest. To deny that is odd.
