A Colorado schoolboy has been kicked out of class for having a Gadsden Flag patch on his backpack – despite the governor calling it a 'proud symbol of the American revolution'.
Footage shows Jaiden, 12, and his mother talking to an administrator from The Vanguard School who claimed that the flag had 'origins with slavery.'
The staffer claims that the patch was 'disruptive to the classroom environment,' as she claimed it has 'origins with slavery.'
He was told that the patch, which has 'Don't Tread on Me' emblazoned on it along with a rattlesnake, was against the district's policy and he was not allowed to go back to class without removing it.
The pupil was told by the administrator: 'So the reason that they do not want the flag – the reason we do not want the flag displayed – is due to its origins with slavery, and the slave trade.
'The bag can't go back if it's got the patch on it, cause we can't have that in and around other kids.'
But his mother was quick to defend her son, claiming that the flag originally comes from the American Revolution as a symbol of the 13 colonies' fight against the British Crown and did not promote slavery.
She can be heard in the video saying: 'It has nothing to do with slavery, that's like the revolutionary war patch that was displayed when they were fighting the British.'

Not just schooling his indoctrinators.
Teaching his peers as well.
You just don’t understand. EVERYTHING the left doesn’t like has its origins in slavery. Turnips, prickly heat, late fees, and snow storms all have their origins in slavery.
Oh, and you’re a racist.
Everything bad that happens is because of slavery or climate change.
They’ll probably say slavery contributed to climate change.
The "administrator" has a face, a name, an email address, a phone number, and a home.
It should not be able to hide in anonymity.
So no black kids allowed in her class. They have their “Roots” in slavery.
I just saw that! Good for him!
The Vanguard School who claimed that the flag had ‘origins with slavery.
And pressure cookers have origins with bombs too.
Fixed it.
She probably doesn’t know who St. Michael is or what the prayer is or she would have tried to get rid of that patch too.
Look up the word Ineptocary This pertains to the school system also.
The names of these idiot Teachers that are supposedly “teaching” our youth should be exposed. They need to be ridiculed into a new profession, like flipping Burgers.
Saw this on Newsmax. How far we have fallen that we have teachers *that* stupid who are hired and paid to educate children.
That lady is clearly as dumb as a bag of hammers.
