I didn't see a specific thread on this sick one... It only gets worse.... (First topic post...be nice:)
From the DenverChannel.com
LONGMONT, Colo. -- More than two dozen students walked out of Skyline High School Friday morning to protest what they say is 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.
"When the immigration laws came out we noticed that a lot of Hispanics were waving Mexican flags and what we were thinking to ourselves is like, isn't the immigration law to stay in the country? You want to stay in America, correct? So I said, for every Mexican flag, you should have an American flag right next to it. So a few people went out and started waving American flags, and that's where everything bridged out," said Skyline student R.J. Fogal. "That's when they started telling us that we can't wave American flags, there's going to be no flags today, or everyone is going to be suspended -- whoever carries a flag."
"What we want to know is since when was it against the rules to have an American flag on a car, in a car, in your hands in a school?" said student William Cassity.

Revoke the taxpayer funds then. School collapses. Yay.
And then I go and miss the W in Allowed. ROFL....Can admin fix?
I have had it up to here with the punks walking out!
Sad to have this kind of people running our Schools.!!!
Send this to Tom Tancredo. I'd love to see his response.
Ahhh, I see it posted, thanks...so ticked right now I'm smokin
No U.S. flags allowed ping. . .
The socialists of liberal academia are just gettin worse. The high responsibility of education should be taken away from the government and put in the private sector. Get rid of this twisted pinko academia that is so anti-American, that our kids should get no where near them.
The liberal infested public school system in action.
Perhaps you were subconsciously sending the message, "No, W!" on the immigration issue?
Red state alert. What is going on with Red States lately? Do they want to turn blue or something? Funny I was thinking that the U.S. was turning more red, but after the last year I can't say what color the map is turning.
What if they stand and recite the Pledge of Allegience?

ROFLOL...that was too funny. Probably some truth as well.
All the students should make color copies of the flag and glue it on their notebooks for the remainder of the school year.
In Fairfax County, Virginia students were apparently allowed to leave school to protest in favor of the illegal criminals (maybe protests favoring child rapists will be next). During the march, one 16-year-old scholar/protester was stabbed by a 17-year-old and ended up in a hospital. I wonder if it is at tax-payer expense.
Hell, this is nothing new, 90 % of the rest of the world has found it inflammatory for decades.
If this school board had any "cajones" they'd ban all flags but the U.S. Flag
Yeah i know I'm an intollerant ugly American, BUT I'm also a pissed off American who's tired of pandering and bending over to the rest of the nuts in this world.
Anyone notice they don't 'March' or 'Protest' after 3 pm? Punks is right.
Wonder what the principal would do if a student came to school with a flag patch on his book daypack? Expel the student? rip the patch off? Have him arrested?
I see a big juicy lawsuit directed at the school and school district if he tried that. Almost makes me wish I was a student again so that I could challenge it.
