LONGMONT, Colo. (April 1) - Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag- (SNIP)

Students were warned about the policy Friday and several were suspended, although Stumpf would not provide details. Then, about 100 students protested during lunch time.

Student Dustin Carlson told Denver station KCNC-TV that he was suspended for two days.

I've already heard comments on a couple of radio talk shows that this could turn erupt into a minor civil war. While at this point I believe it may not get to that point, I am afraid that the Jihadists could use unrest like this as cover to execute any kind of plan they may have to strike within our homeland and add to the confusion.

I've never bought a gun but I'm strongly considering it...

>First it's the Bible and now Old Glory. We're being invaded and don't know it.<

Don't know it? Really! We are being invaded daily on both borders without government concern. Our tax dollars pay the ACLU to depose our Christian values. This has been going on for years, so why the surprise?

I am as outraged by patriotric students being suspended for displaying the American flag as anyone. Why are the schools kowtowing to the criminals breaking immigration laws by the millions? God bless the students who stand up for their standards, and damn the opposition!

A proper resolution to this situation would be for the governor of Colorado to send armed National Guardsmen to this school complete with Hummers and M-16s to restore the display of Old Glory on the school's flagpole. It's that important, and such an object lesson would be a good way to educate the school's students on the matter.

Oh, and fire the adminweasel. Tomorrow.

Maybe not today, but in ten years if we continue with the current immigration policies regarding legal immigration and grant guest-worker permits to millions of anti-American, third world illegal aliens, I'd expect the enemy camp would feel strong enough in numbers to wage a civil war.

There is strength in numbers and the enemy is getting stronger.

"I've never bought a gun but I'm strongly considering it..."

I advise to do so asap and arm yourself and your family. It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

"Un freakin believable!

Seething, boiling, my teeth and jaw hurt cause their clenched in rage.

If those idiots in Washington don't do something about this and soon, I fear the backlash is going to be very, very ugly!"

Couldn't have said it better myself. You took the words right off my keyboard. I agree wholeheartly.

The ban takes it as a given that the Mexican and US flag are equal. They are not. The US flag is the flag of this Country. The Mexican flag has no more standing here than the Jolly Roger or someone waving a dish towel.

Those students and others who marched under the Mexican flag should march on down to where that flag means something and stay there.

Bingo!

It is a culture/religious war.

The US Senator from Mississippi, Theodore Bilbo, once wrote that if a foreign nation conquered America and enslaved its people, destroyed its buildings, its crops, its schools, its farms and its economy, that as long as our American-European heritage remained intact, we could build it all back and even better than before. But he also warned that if our heritage is lost, then our nation would be forever lost as well.

I tried to send this email to Mr. Stumpf, but his mailbox is "disabled."

Mr. Stumpf:

I understand you are trying to ease tensions on campus but I'm very disappointed that you could not find a way to accomplish this without making the terrible decision to ban the U.S. Flag.

How low has this country sunk that we need to ban our own flag on a H.S. campus in order to keep the kids respectful and disciplined?

This has brought some emotions to the surface with me. I read about this and thought back to my time in the U.S. Navy. I thought about all my shipmates who had families and marriages torn apart due to long deployments. I thought about a sailor on our sister ship who, when he got a letter from his wife saying she had left him while we were both deployed to the Mediterranean and that she was taking the kids with her, and then the Navy told him he couldn't have emergency leave to track his wife and kids down, how he then walked to the fantail and put a .45 pistol to his head and killed himself. I thought about my shipmate who volunteered to try out for the Navy SEALs, only to get an infection in his leg during the rigorous training and eventually lost his leg to that infection. I also thought about my deceased grandfather who suffered from jungle rot in his feet for decades as a result of his service as a Marine in the Pacific during W.W.II. I thought about all of these things and wondered how it is that the U.S. Flag could be banned on a public school campus?

If I were you I would feel I had totally failed my students.

I hope you find a way to fix this totally insane policy.

I see you are new to FR. Welcome aboard! Mexico is dumping their poor on America. Mexico's elites don't care for them. Mexico's GNP is high by any standard, yet poverty runs rampant. It is the elites who run everything in Mexico.
