He believes the American flag is divisive. He has no problem with the Mexican flag being waved until an American flag shows up and is waved...then it is out of hand.
In any case, he stopped all waving and abuse of flags, when it got out of hand.
And we define "abusive" here as: "The presence of an American flag".
As an aside, of course in addition to causing trouble on campus, they were abusing the American flag. Under no circumstances should any flag, but certainly not the American flag be treated with anything other than respect.
I got news for you. When the Marines planted the flag on Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwa Jima, it wasn't out of respect for the Japanese.
I didn't see where he said that. He used the term "abuse", and using the flag "derisively" when describing what happened. He was absolutely right, unless you have some evidence to the contrary.

Again, you are putting words in his mouth. He decried the abuse of the US flag. I'm a little slow at times, but that just doesn't add up to an anti-American stance, no matter how much you want it to. And where in the article does it say that other than the one instance referred to by the principal, was the Mexican flag thrown into people's faces?

You really aren't trying to suggest even the remotest of comparisons between the planting of the flag at Suribachi and what the idiots in Longmont were doing, were you?
