Yesterday, students from Montebello, California raised the Mexican flag over the United States flag, flown in distress configuration.
With the full cooperation and under the guidance of school officials, students at Montebello High School, violated the U. S. Code, Chapter 1, Sections 7(c), 7(g), 8(a) and 9.
7(C) ~ No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof.
7(G) ~ When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
8(a) ~ The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
9 ~ During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in review, all persons present except those in uniform should face the flag and stand at attention with the right hand over the heart.
Does this clusterflop look like the respect outlined in the U. S. Code to you? It sure doesn't to me and the thing that's gets my blood boiling is that this behavior is encouraged and facilitated by school officials and teachers.
Notice, this is going on at the front door of the school. Where were the school security guards? Permanently out to lunch, no doubt.
This is just another example of liberal educators teaching their students to disrespect the United States, its people, customs, traditions and laws. And, they get paid good money to do it.
