U.S. Flag Banned (At CO Schools) Amid Racial Tensions

Un freakin believable!

Seething, boiling, my teeth and jaw hurt cause their clenched in rage.

If those idiots in Washington don't do something about this and soon, I fear the backlash is going to be very, very ugly!

_{Skyline High School students rally across the street from the school on Friday after U.S. flags were banned on the campus in Longmont, Colo.}

These kids are flying the flag of their nation. Now, this is a "crime."

Unbelievable.

"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."

UNITED STATES CODE
TITLE 36
CHAPTER 10
§174. Time and occasions for display
(e) Display on or near administration building of public institutions The flag should be displayed daily on or near the main administration building of every public institution.

(f) Display in or near polling places The flag should be displayed in or near every polling place on election days.

(g) Display in or near schoolhouses The flag should be displayed during school days in or near every schoolhouse.

"I live in a small farm town in Nelson County, Virginia, and will retire from the Virginia Army National Guard in April 2006, after 22 years. I have spent almost one half of my adult life preparing myself and my soldiers for a time, such as now, that our country might successfully face our enemies, foreign and domestic.

Looking at your webpage this morning and seeing the pictures of the high school students raising a Mexican national flag over an upside down American flag saddened me terribly, insofar as there are American soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen currently putting their lives in danger in order to provide these "citizens" the comfort of knowing that their protests will not result in being lined up against a wall and executed for their behavior, as they might in other countries around the world.

What would be interesting to know is if these young men and women are enjoying their educations on the back of the American taxpayer at a public school, while denigrating the country that provides these benefits to them, and so blatantly desecrating the flag that serves as a beacon to draw them to America in the first place."

Yikes! This assclown Stumpf needs to get away from school for a few years.

What is going on in this country? What really surprises me is all this illegal immigrant problems, gas price problems, and anti-american feelings are taking place with Republicans in full control of the executive and legislative branches.

Some of these students were suspended -- not for walking out in protest (idiot principal supports that right), but for displaying the flag.

Poll: Did the school make the right decision in banning display of the US flag? No: 88%; yes 12%. Who the heck are those 12%?

"zOMG, April fools!!!!"

A guy can wish, can't he?

But that there is a call for severe civil disobedience. Anyone in the area capable of and willing to organize it?

We recite the pledge in our HS school during first period, unfortunately, I'm the only one that says it out loud. Most kids don't even try to stand up. I request everyone to stand up to show respect for our country. Most of them look like they don't give a darn. It's sad.

LOL. I bet he is also in favor of pro-actively leveraging their core competencies to implement integrated initiatives and strategic processes to ensure enhanced performance in the midst of new challenges and shifting paradigms.
