Principal was correct. Using flags to taunt others or for any reason short of rendering respect is wrong no matter who does it. Patriotism begins with demonstrating respect for our flag, not in using it as a weapon to put down others with whom you do not agree.

The principal had no concern when it was the Mexican flag being used to taunt Americans, but somehow now that Americans are flying an American flag in America, he has a problem and tramples his students right to free speech.

This guy is just another flaming liberal that hates America first and most.

Actually, the principal stopped both sides from what they were doing. I saw nothing in the article that reflected he had let students use the Mexican flag to taunt other students. As for his trampling the free speech rights of students, no such rights exist. The principle has a duty to keep good order on the campus, and in so doing may set out whatever rules are reasonable and necessary to do so.

Could you link me to any information substantiating that? Thank you.

This flaming-liberal principal deserves nothing less than to have to be locked into a room with some Marines and other veterans and have to explain his actions to them face to face. What a spineless wimp.
