I see the balkanization is in full swing thanks to open borders. Just the beginning.

Here's a liberal principal if ever there was one, won't allow American children to wave an American flag but will allow the punks to wave a mexican flag.
He needs to be kicked out as principal.

This kid is being disingenuous. It sounds to me like the kids were using the flag to taunt others. I don't think that's proper.

Well, he probably is a liberal, but if you take thirty seconds and read the article, you'll find that he has banned the display of all flags, not just the US flag.
Here's the deal about our glorious flag. It is not intended for use as an item to taunt others. That is not its function. Those who use it in that way are simply wrong.

Well. I think all flags were banned

The kids should all wear white shirts, red sweaters and blue pants - everyone will understand and there's nothing the school could do about it.

In Woodbridge, Va., a Hispanic second grader and kindergarten student were sent home from school for wearing homemade T-shirts that read "Latinos Forever" in Spanish.

How dare you ban the flying of the American flag.
You not only are dishonoring all that fought and died for the principles represented by our flag but you are teaching the students a horrible lesson.
If you had any honor, you would resign. Of course if you were an honorable person, this email would not be necessary.
For shame,

"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."
This as opposed to the poor misguided Mexican or Mexican/American students waving Mexican flags in our faces.
This poor misguided principal exemplifies everything that is wrong with our schools, politicians and society.

How in the H E double L can a person be taunted with the American flag, if they came here to be American? This is BS.

Kids can taunt one another by waving a piece of paper in another kid's face.

I am sure the flags we are talking about are on a stick and 2" X 3", that is downright intimidating. I say get over it, my hat was taken away and thrown back and forth over my head when I was a kid...........I said Waaaah, my dad said take care of it off grounds, after school..I did.
