Every year, Jackson Hole High School has celebrated “America Day” around homecoming time — and it’s become quite the spectacle.

The tradition includes students wrapping American flags around their shoulders, wearing American flag attire and driving a diesel truck around the parking lot with the stars and stripes waving in the wind.

But this year turned out to be different for the students in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The left have this very peculiar attitude in that (in an Esperantoesque way)they will cancel a day such as America Pride Day and want any public acknowledgement or recognition of Christmas severely oppressed but will demand affirmative action and force students to study Islam and shout racism at the slightest provocation. It is so obvious that they are (and have always been) the real racists.

If America “offends” you, crawl back to the sewer you crawled out of. We don’t need you here.

People living in areas with muzzies nearby frequently experience “microjihad”.

Read that the school principal, Scott Crisp, made the decision based on survey results. Which should trigger at least three questions:

1) What was the motivation to survey the children? Are the kids in charge now? Will there be a survey asking if the kids like math class or homework? What was the point of the exercise?

2) What were the survey results? If the results were not overwhelmingly in support of our country, wouldn’t the actionable item naturally be teaching kids why they should be damn proud to be Americans?

3) Is the school adjusting curriculum to promote a personal political agenda?

I hope parents and media in WY dig deeply to know more.
