Wyoming High School Bravely Bans Patriotism
Patriot News Daily ^ | 10/6/2015 | Staff

Posted on 10/08/2015 4:45:28 AM PDT by HomerBohn

The greatest revolutions come out of the most unlikely places. Consider the brave administration at Jackson Hole High School in Wyoming.

Proving that there is a razor-thin line between nonsense and cataclysmic brilliance, the administrators there have decided to cancel “America Day” on behalf of a suffering student body.

America Day is a longstanding tradition at the high school, celebrating homecoming in a way that doubles as a celebration of patriotism. Students wear red, white, and blue colors to class, wave American flags around, and generally take pride in their country. Awful, right?

“Many different students could have felt singled out,” said Activities Director Mike Hansen. “We’re trying to be inclusive and safe, make everyone feel welcome.”

Gee, who felt targeted? Is there a heavy concentration of British loyalists in Jackson Hole, still hoping that the crown will rise again? No wonder the left hates the Tea Party. Redcoats aside, if you’re an American who feels unsafe when confronted with the flag, you may want to consider homeschooling. Buy yourself a rigid plastic bubble, get inside, and lock the door. There you’ll be safe from not just patriotism, but also McDonalds, sidewalks, and menacing birds. Unwilling to abide by this decision, several students showed up to school flaunting the colors of the flag and generally making everyone feel all squirmy and unsafe.

God, don’t these students even recognize their American privilege? One Facebook user said she was thrilled with the school’s decision. “Unchecked nationalism is not a great thing,” she said, “and has historically resulted in gross atrocities here and elsewhere.” Yes, there are few things more terrifying than Americans celebrating their patriotism. Historically, this devotion to country has led to such “gross atrocities” as American independence, the end of slavery, the fall of the Third Reich, and the worldwide spread of democracy. When will it end?

If you don’t think this is a glimpse into the future of this country, you need to check the prescription on your rose-colored glasses. The left is working overtime to make sure this country is overrun by immigrants and refugees by the middle of the 21st century. And these poor individuals will not be pressured to adopt the norms of their new culture. No, no. Instead, we will be asked (and then forced) to change our culture to suit the new arrivals. Christianity, American patriotism, and Christmas are out; Islam, rainbow flags, and undocumented citizens are in. None of those things, after all, ever made anyone feel unsafe.-

An immigrant who comes for the right reasons should have no objection to American pride.

Those in charge of our lives will eventually lead us into the gas chamber.

Trump should be talking about all these incidents, no matter how small.

People who chose to come here do so for a reason—they want to he part of what we are. Therefore, they should be at least as patriotic to the land othey have chosen as do those of us who were born here.

“Those in charge of our lives will eventually lead us into the gas chamber.”

The “refugees” and “immigrants” that they’re bringing into this country are really the cadre that will complete whatever the Progressive geniuses have in mind.

IMHO

Birth Rate: 8 kids per Muslim family. Jackson Hole will be a hell hole soon.

Sadly Dear Chicory, I must disagree.

They don’t want to be part of what we are.

They want to take advantage of what we have.

WTF is going on in this country?

I’m biting my tongue because I know, but the fact that they are even on our soil suggests we’re very quickly approaching a revolution here.

Their side or ours igniting it.

The only place in Wyoming where you’ll find a leftist is in Jackson Hole.

We have a Muslim Manchuiran Candidate who was trained and well funded for the mission of destroying the America we know. He is importing an alternative culture into America right under the noses of incredibly stupid and naieve people who side with him simply because he's not white and only somewhat resembles them. We are reaping what we have sown by taking America out of our nation and raising very spoiled children who are about to get a very strong dose of reality and will most likley become patriotic oncd they understand what first made us patriotic.

When I see muslim women in public here in the Houston area I make it a point to approach them and attempt to start a conversation. Usually they seem very uncomfortable and move away.

I guess they are afraid their “man” will see them and stone them for talking to me.

So many places where young Americans have benefited the most from our freedoms, traditions and exceptional place in the world happen to be white bread tourist destinations like Jackson Hole.

There is that evil doer word-Facebook.

If that will not help to warp your mind, nothing will. The gathering of “friends” by hacks.

This is proof liberals are actively discriminating against the American Judeo-Christian culture.

Hence tolerance for Mexican flags on T-shirts, but don’t you dare be proud to be American. Hence permission to ban anything that offends Muslims like microwaving sausage rolls in public, but Christian sensibilities don’t matter.

Everyone else’s culture is better.
