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.

Here's my effort:
Dear Mr. Stumpf:
It may come as a surprise to you, but there are people in the United States who actually love and cherish this country. They believe that the American Flag is a great symbol of the values of our precious freedoms, including freedom of speech. At the heart of America's history as a beacon of hope to the world, lies the fact that we maintain a sovereign nation within distinct borders and that within those borders, her citizens are protected by the rule of law.
Now you and others have come along to spit on this heritage and to undermine the freedom, the liberty and the hope that the American flag has stood for at schoolhouses, at courthouses and on battlefields since the founding of the Republic. You exhibit disdain for the many who shed their blood under that flag for all it represents. I looked everywhere in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and our other founding documents, and I couldn't find a word about multiculturalism or any other post-modern stupidities suggesting that we should do away with our flag, our liberty or our sovereignty as a nation in the face of a wave of illegal invaders (yes, I said illegal).
You have no place teaching the young people of this nation. Your ideas are quite literally subversive to the United States of America. You should resign immediately. Failing that, if there is any common sense and true patriotism left in your school district, you should be fired immediately.
Good day, Sir.
PS.
see my post 261 below. I'm going to send it to school officials, co governor and others.
what did you expect?
Stumpf's resume from the school website includes this nugget before his time in CO:
"20 additional prior years in education in Wisconsin"
As I understand it, they might as well have said "20 additional prior years in Institute for Proletarian Reeducation in Leningrad"
>why not pledge to the country USA or love or the president<
I don't know where you were educated, staytrue, but the AMERICAN flag represents the country USA, and the allegiance IS to the USA. As a matter of fact, I'm going right out to display my AMERICAN flag.
You were alot nicer than I was.
This doesn't make sense.....
the poll seems stuck on an 88/12 ratio.....plus- if below is true, that means that over 20,000 people think this was a good idea....I'd like to know if those folks are actually IN America- and if so.....they don't need to be..
Did the school make the right decision in banning the U.S. flag?
No 88%
Yes 12%
Total Votes: 194,580
Note on Poll Results
I am afraid this may be just the beginning of little skirmishes like these. Americans need to face them down.
<< First it's the Bible and now Old Glory. We're being invaded and don't know it. >>
Oh, we know it only too well.
The attack upon our beloved FRaternal Republic, set in motion by the traitor, Lincoln and notched up by the "Democrats'" late 20s' takeover of the congress, was accelerated to warp speed when the uber traitor, Roosevelt and his legions of activist Soviet agents and activist judges attacked and essentially destroyed our Constitution during the decade and a half of the Roosevelt depression -- and of the Roosevelt War.
We've thus long been under attack.
But only lately, we the people having long ago been balkanized, having had several generations of our male children emasculated, feminized, homosexualized and all our children indoctrinated with hate and armed with epithets, while we were hatefully and cynically rendered impotent, enslaved and made mute by that other tyranny; "political correctness," have we been made blind. And have been turned inwards and set apon one another, while, the moment our backs were turned, the flood gates were swung wide open, our nation's border posts abandoned and the oligarchy-serving barbarian hordes allowed into this, our shining city upon our hill.
The leftist socialists who first said that we needed to tolerate terrorist Muslims now want us to tolerate and accept terrorist Communists (Ward Churchill, Noam Chomsky, Hugo Chavez, ect) and illegal immigrants.

Then the students attack the center...
The U.S. is in almost as much trouble as Europe:
Swedish Welfare State Collapses as Immigrants Wage War
We need to recognize that we are allowing immigrants into this country who are not tolerant of free speech; nor do they wish to assimilate:
The Islamist Challenge to the U.S. Constitution"
Please read my letter in Post 249. My pledge is to the "Flag of the United States.....
Students who lack this knowledge should have been taught this years ago.
I love this picture. While I don't think people should physically put the flag in someones face, I absolutely think they should be able to wave the flag or hold it at any free moment they have. I think it's a moral obligation to be honest. Forbidding it like it's wrong.... is just stupid and makes me feel this country is losing itself.
I toned mine down a bit since I sent it care of the school board
Khrystal - post your comments on this thread.
Well stated.
Well, at least we have this to lookforward too...That all the folks that were hippies in the 60's are now getting to the age where everyone they support begin to think its time to start retiring them to Ol' folks homes...Hoist on thier own pitard(sp?)
