So? Why isn’t this “freedom of expression,” when rioting and stomping on the US flag is approved by the media in those terms?

“local parents and other students are not amused”

Local parents and other students need to get a life and stop worrying about what some teenagers are doing.

^%& the hypersensitive left and their warped version of McCarthyism.

I recommend we start shoving anything that offends them down their mewling throats.

For their own good. They really need to toughen up.

I agree. Time to own up to what they’ve been accusing us of -— give them wedgies and hang them on the lockers...

I wonder how many people they had to interview to find some one up set.

Free speech.

After all, look at the cra...er...Obamastuff we accept from the low-IQ/basket weaving students at our failing universities.

Sorry, but critics can shove their concerns up their collective communist Obamaholes.

A bunch of kids photographed themselves in front of a confederate flag and a couple of guns and the media get their panties in a twist again.

The media and those upset need to get a life.

The same people upset are the ones who are not upset when people burn the stars and stripes or stomps on it.

So if I was in the same situation, and let’s say I decided to take a picture in front of some amplifiers with fellow musicians for the graduation photo, would that be considered as insensitive to those that don’t listen to rock? Considering it takes far more talent to play an instrument than solely create sounds on a computer and attach Autotune to a voice...

Nothing “controversial” about the photo. Just the panty waist media trying to make it so.

I received a scholarship from the Daughters of the Confederacy, when I went to College.
Good for them (the DOC and these Colorado students).

I am upset and insulted over a rainbow flag, but the media will paint that flag as a go lucky, happy flag
