If ALL flags are banned, where is the problem again? Sounds like appropriate safety control to me.
Really? When did the US flag stand for racism?
This principal is the person who needs to be banned.
All flags ARE NOT EQUAL.
He should ban display of the Mexican flag. Somebody needs to tell these people what country they are in. US flag - OK and in fact required by law. Mexican flag - perfectly OK - bring it to Mexico and fly it all you want.
This principal is afraid to assert control over his students.
Ever heard of the First Amendment? If it's been used to justify burning the flag, it can certainly be used to justify students carrying/flying it.
BTW, the Stars & Stripes isn't just ANY flag to be lumped in with ALL flags - it's our OWN flag.
The Star's and Stripes? I have to tell you this may be an issue that we will have to agree to disagree.
The problem is very simple. The no flag rule was instituted AFTER the US Flag showed up. Then the principal somehow connected the flag presence with racist remarks or behaviour. He did not reach these conclusions about no flags prior to the US flag showing up, He did not make racist associations with flags until the US flag showed up. No student was suspended for bringing a Mexican Flag, nor was their demonstration or protest tainted, by the principal with the accusation of racism. It isn't appropriate safety control, no, that would have started with the principal banning flags when the first one showed up. He didn't do that, because he, like others, are afraid of minorities, afraid that they will hurl the dreaded "R" word at them. No, Mr Stumpf would never risk that, no he waits until the white guys show up and then clicks his heels and beats his chest about racism. We have all seen this before, the brave and courageous Mr Stumpf's of the world.
You are kidding, right? What country are we living in? Isn't Colorado part of the US? The Red, White, and Blue are suppose to fly in the US. Banning it is borderline treason. Those who cannot stand to see Old Glory fly on a public school campus don't deserve to live in this country, much less receive the benefit of taxpayer funded "education".
Since Brains are the true source of bigotry, perhaps they should behead all the students. At least they would match the brainless administrators.
Only a liberal can believe that you protect freedom by banning it.
Except for the part where they curtail free speech. I agree that there are limits to free speech, but bearing on your person the flag of your country falls well within them.
You're missing the point. Your citizenship has just been revoked, because you have been deemed to be a threat to the other side.
The racism in Longmont is directed against Anglos, and the Anglos are forbidden from reacting. Where's the fairness in that? Hmmm?
Banning the American flag on American soil.
And you don't see a problem with that.
