At what point in our nation's history did it become so awful to display American pride? I never encountered stories like these until some time into Obama's terms, which is clearly not a coincidence. Sometimes I just get mentally burnt out from reading and reporting on the constant insanity that is liberalism.

Of course, the real victims of this imaginary racism are those accused of it.

But immigrants would be expected to favor the American flag, since they come to this country to live.

Unless they’re coming here not because they like the country, but to invade it.

... And our fathers went to fight against the Japanese and Germans during WWII - and die - because why again? How dare these kids apologize. This “special currency of feelings” needs to end NOW.

After all, why would wearing the flag of the country you’re living in and displaying your patriotism be unacceptable?...

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

I guess they should wear their trousers too low to do a little “cultural” appropriation.

What about Mexicans who fly the Mexican flag in the streets of America?

How stupid do MSM and progressives think we are?

“This is an example of BLATANT racism,” said Ty Leggett”

This is an example of blatant bull shit.

So... did the refugees get offended or just some white guilt ridden liberals? If the refuegees were upset at a showing of the flag that brought their ungrateful asses out of the hell hole they came from send their asses back to the dump they love.

permission to take a different stance on this?

Thank you.

IMHO, the problem is is not with the knuckleheads at North High School, but with Valley High School student body for apologizing to the other school. That merely empowered the snowflakes. The proper response from the school should have been:

“...Hey, we’re Americans, and since you claim to be as well, you should be proud of that, and perhaps wear some red, white, and blue yourselves. But your feelings are not our problem - it’s yours. And if you can’t handle it, then don’t bring your basketball team to play ours in the future. And one more thing: GO USA!!!”

... and be done with it.

But nope. they took the chicken way out. Score one for the other guys.

It’s time to MAN UP, people! You give these SOB’s an inch and they will take a mile. I’d suggest the ENTIRE STUDENT BODY where flag colors for the remaining games.

>> to wear U.S.A. apparel at our game last night was offensive to members of your community and fan base

>> this 21st century inexcusable behavior!

Wow. Sane people should “get in their faces.”

i’m not getting a stroke over the this bull#### anymore.

I want to see the country change a lot but i’m done with the self torture.

If the under 50s or 40s like this #### then #### em.

If they want to fight, then fight.

Life’s too short to get bothered by this nonsense anymore.

A LOT more people need to start just laughing at the idiocy and say “#### you”.

"Forced to Apologize." Force isn't funny, especially when it's done to young students for doing the right thing. They should not have to apologize.

The school who claimed to be offended should be asked why they weren’t wearing patriotic clothing!! WE are offended by their lack of acceptance of their adoptive nation!

Is this in Oregon? Texas? CA? NY? Does anyone know what part of America this is?
