A 12-year-old student in Colorado was allegedly kicked out of class for wearing a Gadsden flag patch after being told by the school that the flag has “origins with slavery and slave trade.”
A viral video on X (the social platform previously known as Twitter) shows 12-year-old Jaiden from The Vanguard School in Colorado Springs being condemned by a school administrator for wearing a Gadsden flag patch on his backpack. The video, which appears to be recorded by Jaime’s mother, outlines the school’s incoherent reasons for removing Jaiden from his class and asking for the patch to be removed.
“The reason we do not want the flag displayed is due to its origins with slavery and slave trade,” the school administrator explained. “That’s the reason behind us not wanting it displayed.”
Jaiden’s mother, who seemed confused by the response, asked for clarification that the administrator was describing the Gadsden flag and not the Confederate flag. When the administrator confirmed it was the Gadsden flag that was unacceptable, the mother properly explained that the Gadsden flag has no association with slavery and was used as a symbol during the Revolutionary War.
After being corrected, The Vanguard School administrator simply stated that she was there to “enforce the policy provided by the district.” She then referred Jaiden’s mother to The Vanguard School’s Director of Operations, Jeff Yocum.

Yet if he had worn a burn loot murder flag, a trans flag or a rainbow flag the kid wouldn’t have been disciplined.
The elites do hate the Gadsden flag—but the dumb teachers and school administrators have no idea why.
I think the Pedo flag has a picture of The Tater on it
Soon they won’t allow the Stars and Stripes.
ping to you
Sounds like another school administrator who needs their ass kicked to the curb because they don’t know what they’re talking about.
These are the people who are supposed to “educate” your children.
These retards are getting deep six figures for directing the education of children.
Make them prove it.
Imagine being on camera making such ignorant pronouncements telling the world you don’t know your history.
Then getting monkey hammered on Twitter.
What a way to get your five minutes of fame.
Yeah, I said it.
A normal 12 year old has more brains than most “educators” these days.
Unfortunately the school admin will be promoted for her ignorance. In the left, ignorance is a resume enhancer.
A normal average 12 year old has more brains than most “educators” these days.
They don’t teach american history anymore, and it shows.
The mother was stunned the “educators” were such ignorant clowns.
That is what is called a “teaching moment”.
It is time to end the child abuse and start home schooling her kid.
I think the ignorant excuse was just grasping for something that might actually be enforced.
“The Gadsden flag, or the “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, was first used by the country’s first naval commander-in-chief, Commodore Esek Hopkins. The snake on the flag, similar to the one used by Benjamin Franklin in his “Join, or Die” political cartoon, was a symbol of unity between the original colonies. Since then, the flag has been a popular American symbol to represent freedom from tyranny, individualism, and patriotism.”
The real problem this communist teacher had was not liking the symbolism of “the flag has been a popular American symbol to represent freedom from tyranny, individualism, and patriotism.”
HEY ME TOO!!!!
Sounds like another school administrator who needs their ass kicked!!!
