A high school in Longmont, CO is not allowing the U.S. flag to be flown, and they are confiscating the U.S. Flag because it is inflamatory. Only in Longmont...better known as the poor part of Boulder, CO. From a Denver news site:

Students Who Want To Fly American Flags Walk Out Of School
Skyline Students Say Their Flags Were Confiscated

LONGMONT, Colo. -- More than a dozen students walked out of Skyline High School Friday morning to protest a ban that doesn't allow the American flag to be flown on school grounds.

Several students said that they were upset that Mexican flags can be waved around but that American flags couldn't. They said that school officials confiscated their American flags because it has become inflammatory because of recent immigration issues.

7NEWS is talking with school officials and will have more information as it becomes available.

The American Flag inflammatory in America!?!?!? This sounds like what happened in Australia recently with the Muslims!

I would run an American Flag up that pole and chain myself to the pole to protect it. Hopefully there are enough patriotic American teens who will not allow this to stand.

My prayers are with those who recognize this travesty for what it is. If anyone is offended by having to stand under an American Flag, they need to be shown the door to the border.

What is happening to our republic?

These SOBs need to be defunded, de-jobbed and their faces and names spread around as the enemy sympathizers they are.
