Teen Suspended for Removing Mexican Flag in Texas High School

A listener to Michael Berry’s radio broadcast in Houston Texas, called in to express her dismay with a Mexican flag being prominently displayed at her son’s school, Klein Collins High School.

The Texas Mom did the appropriate thing and called the school to complain about the display and request that it be taken down, however, the school failed to return her phone call.

The student, possibly upset from the actions in California and after his mother received no response, took the Mexican flag down himself.

The administration of Klein Collins didn’t take too kindly to the act. According to Michael Berry, the school, “pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, and suspended him for 3 days.”

The young man is also being told he has to pay for a new Mexican flag.

Unrest over perceived preferential treatment toward Mexican-Americans continues to grow across the nation. Equally, anger is mounting within the Mexican-American community over Arizona and the national backlash to recent events.

I didn't see this posted here, it's a few months old and occurred prior to the incident involving Cody the young boy in California, with the American flag on his bicycle, where Mexican/Hispanic students became offended by the flag...

Curious why no one at the school returned a parents telephone call.

The school wouldn’t do anything if they took the US flag down.

Flying foreign flags on America soil without proper display
is tantamout to rebellion.

That student should be rewarded as a hero!

Are there contact numbers for the school and the district congressman?

If the student had ridden his bike to school, with a Mexican flag attached, I’m sure the school would have taken swift action. [/heavy sarcasm]

The parents should pull their kids from the school. It would cost them dearly in revenue until the Mexican flag is completely removed. That is an insult to ALL Americans.

I like how it was hoisted over the main hallway of the school.

It seems the school administrators are getting very soft on discipline problems as this kid only received a three day suspension for theft of private property.

In my day, if a student had been caught stealing private property, he would have been expelled and handed over to law enforcement.

Boy, what a lie this is...Celebrate heritage my butt. It's in your face time, again....

The Klein Independent School District has gone into full defensive mode, posting police officers outside and emphasizing that the flag was a student's idea to celebrate his heritage

Of course it is...Government and government schools are aiding and abetting this epic invasion and incremental take over, every single inch of the way.

Why would an American school have a Mexican flag prominently displayed?

What is wrong with these people?

They're asleep, on drugs, are benefiting off illegal low wage labor, are simply America hating traitors??....

Your guess is as good as mine...

But I will tell you, in America we're surrounded by traitors and others that want to destroy this country.

Bet the rent.
