Did anyone else notice how QUICKLY the far-left school official equated the American flag with the Chinese and Mexican flags.

He obviouly STILL doesn’t “get it”.

Oh, he "gets it" all right. The whole "offense" of wearing the American flag was that it might imply some subtle pride in AMERICA and thereby annoy the portions of the student body who are not Americans and have no plans to assimilate into Americans. In the school system's mind, the only way such a shirt is permissible is to immediately equate the flags of foreign countries with it. IE, America is greater than no one else.

One Georgia high school thought it would be oh so multicultural to fly the flags of Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala etc along with the Stars and Stripes so that the non-American children of non-American chicken factory workers would feel more welcome. Then some old Veteran quickly pointed out to them that if they are going to do this, they must fly the American flag higher than the others. So much for chicken equality.
