So...displaying the Mexican flag is OK, but displaying the American flag is not?

[fwdude]

This isn’t even a First Amendment issue. Rather, it is just a “being American” issue. Those protesting are traitors and should be treated as such.

[GeronL]

they will appreciate one culture apparently

stupid leftists

Any contact lists? These thugs could use a good FReeping.

"We want the kids to respect [the 1st Amendment], understand it, and with that comes a responsibility."

So in the superintendent's view, being "responsible" in this case means that if one is going to fly any flag, fly the Mexican one.

[lonestar]

Cut federal funding from all schools that don't fly Old Glory.

Better yet, cut the Dept of Ed.---it failed!

Parraz said. "We want them to appreciate the cultures."

Appreciate their cultures?

How 'bout they appreciate the country that gives them the freedom and liberty they have?

So...displaying the Mexican flag is OK, but displaying the American flag is not?

“Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they’ll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don’t really want,” Parraz said. “We want them to appreciate the cultures.”

That’s right....The left has now turned the AMERICAN flag into a banned symbol of racism....

[Peter from Rutland]

Apparently this is the same school district that had the issue with students flying the Mexican flag and there was tensions going back and forth. Apparently they have a zero tolerance on any flags.

FWIW...

[NavyCanDo]

My God, what have we sunk to? Are we even living in America anymore?

“Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they’ll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don’t really want,” (principle) Parraz said.

Jus’ keep teachin’ the li’l dudes to speak good, fer sure. You know, uh, whatever!

“Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they’ll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don’t really want,” Parraz said. “We want them to appreciate the cultures.”

Another reason, you know, to homeschool.

[Old Grumpy]

Is this what this country is coming to? It is infuriating that the American flag is not allowed on a school campus in AMERICA. We wouldn’t want to offend anybody. No sirree. If the American flag is offensive to people, they should leave this country and go back where they came from.

[Mr. Silverback]

PING.

Multicultalism is such a neato idea!

[Jagdgewehr]

I have completely run out of any kind of response other than a furious litany profane invectives each time I read a story like this. What I’m thinking can’t be posted here.

"(The) First Amendment is important," Parraz said. "We want the kids to respect it, understand it, and with that comes a responsibility."

Why isn't this pile of monkey shine standing in an unemployment line?

[Portnoy]

I would NOT want to be the receptionist at this school today...

[bray]

Not very tolerant of Americans are they.

Pray for America

Cultural tension, maybe, but not racial.

[ZULU]

Well, Mr. Parraz, you know, like most real Americans, you know, even Hispanic Americans, you know, many of whom have served in uniform, you know, and still serve in uniform, you know, dying to defend that flag and what it stands for, you know, would probably disgaree with you very strongly VERY STRONGLY, you know.

Like, have a great Veterans’ Day, you know.

Bastard.
