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.

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.

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

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

Other articles have plainly reported that the students were reacting to the many Mexican flags being flown supporting the illegal immigrants, and it was only after other students started flying the American flag that the principal was offended and took action.

I believe you are incorrect, courts have ruled numerous times that students do not lose their constitutional rights when they enter a school.

When students were using the Mexican flag to taunt, all was well, it was only after other students were flying the American flag that the principal took action.

Proof positive on it's face.
