Student Suspended After Asking Admin Why American Flag Isn’t in Classrooms....Three Cop Cars Called
Gateway Pundit ^ | April 12, 2025 | Samuel Short

Some students get suspended for fighting, others for wanting the American flag in the classroom.

The latter, WBFF-TV reported Wednesday, happened to high school senior and aspiring U.S. Marine Parker Jensen, a student at Townson High School in Baltimore, Maryland.

Jensen noticed classrooms at his high school did not display the American flag. According to WBFF, the Baltimore County school board policy and the Maryland Education Code both require the flag to be present in every room.

When Jensen went to the Board of Education to ask about the lack of flags at school, he did not get answers. Instead, school district officials called the police — and three police cars responded.

That actually has been proposed by some and shouted down by those who claim that "our children" (funny I do not recall a single one of the shouters turning up at diaper changing time) need that money.

Of course the children do not see one cent of the money and if they come out with able to read at a third grade level, do very basic math and have a vocabulary of 6000 words they are well ahead of average and should be grateful to their "wonderful" teachers.

“ He identified as a student with his student ID but was not let in.”

Is it now trespassing to be on the outside of a building?

The school officials did this hoping that the suspension and the arrest will be a red flag so that the marines won’t allow him to join.

Did he get formally charged with trespassing and had to go to court?

5 cop cars....depending on how the call was made to the cops, I have to wonder is someone was trying to swat this poor kid! He should sue the cops and force them to turn the recording to call over to the lawyers. 5 cop cars are over kill and I think someone wanted to kill this kid!

“The Police lack this training, the have more like the Gestapo in Nazi Germany, a nod from the ‘authorities’ and you’re dragged off like a criminal. This is the USA....they need reminding.”

A primary reason why conservatives need to elect a constitutional, pro-2nd amendment sheriff in their counties.

These sheriffs have the investigative authority and legal and armed muscle to challenge gestapo cops.

My sheriff has removed two police chiefs in the county who were harassing citizens.

It seems that I read an article not too long ago saying that no student graduating from a large number of Baltimore high schools can read and write. Do I not remember correctly?

Towson high school is in Baltimore County. Baltimore city is unique in that it is not in any county. They are completely separate jurisdictions Towson high school is actually in a very nice residential area. Towson was once a very conservative area, but no longer.

“If he believes these law firms aren't going to sabotage his efforts and policies he is an idiot.”

That thought occurred to me so I'm sure it has occurred to Trump's team.

I'm guessing the law firms will have some administration oversight - and a Plan B for firms suspected of sabotage.

In any event, if Trump has $100 million to spend on legal fees in case X, the other party will need to spend the same amount defending themselves. Not every Trump-hater is going to want to spend their own money just for the fun of showing out.

It’s Towson High School and not Townson.

(The first syllable, BTW, rhymes with “cow,” but many outsiders think it is pronounced like “toe.”)

How long has it been since you were in MD?

It has been 60-70 years since there was any significant semblance of freedom & liberty in Maryland...
