E Pluribus Unum

On this past 9/11 in Woodruff, South Carolina, several high school students showed up at school with American flags flying from the beds of the pick up trucks they were driving.

The school principal confiscated the flags stating, "It was against district policy to draw too much attention to one's vehicle."

Well, I don't claim to be the swiftest horse in the corral, so can somebody tell me just what in the hell the principal is taking about? Does it seem to anybody besides me that what the boys were drawing attention to was not their vehicles, but to the to the banner that symbolizes our freedom?

Were any obama stickers on any cars/trucks that might attract too much attention? Sadly Charlie, this ain't the 'Merica we grew up in. Some of these kids are learning a hard lesson about free speech. It ain't always free. But, I do know where there's a designated "Free Speech Zone" here in Reno so if one feels like speaking freely (only to a certain extent I'm sure, I can let you know where it is), have at it.

It means that liberals are making this up as they go along. Because the liberals are offended at the sight of the flag, but can’t say so out loud, they come up with this song and dance about a rule which says don’t draw attention to a vehicle.

Besides, everyone knows the Liberal version isn’t E Pluribus Unim, It’s E Pluribus Disunim.

We have a real problem with Tax payer funded prinsables and teachers in this country effectively enforcing their anti-american ideology on campus.

Frankly patriotism in an American school should be part of the education not a banned or least bit Discouraged subject.

It is an insult to the tax payers that support such an education that their country’s pride is not being taught and encouraged there.

They get away with this because we do not fight back. Someday maybe we will, if it isn’t too late.

Civil disobedience comes to mind.
