[Mr. Rational]

No one said you said anything -

to refresh your thought process -

"Principal Tom Stumpf said students were becoming involved in what the school saw as bigotry."

"Stumpf said he feared the conduct with flags on schools grounds could "pretty quickly erupt into violence." He said it's his responsibility to ensure the school and students were safe and called reaction to the suspensions "misguided patriotism."

Several students were suspended but only after they were told no overt action deemed to be RACIAL would be tolerated. " (They were suspended for the RACIST action of displaying American flags.)

He displayed no leadership. The bans did no occur after Mexican students displayed foreign flags in his school. The ban occurred when Americans responded. He is principal of an American school. He could quite clearly and directly make that clear to all. Instead he chose the path of equivalency - which is wrong. The Mexican flag is not equivalent to the US flag in a US school. The Mexican flag is subordinate.

If the Mexican students don't like the American flag, they can walk back. Pandering to them is not doing anyone any good.

And the administration bought into and supported their nonsense that display of the US flag is racist.

I don't think they "bought into" anything except school safety.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Would you want your child attending a school that is so racially volatile that a flag could "pretty quickly erupt into violence"?

Would you want to work at a business that was this volatile?

What the government is doing is FORCING children into an environment that is dangerous and would challenge the diplomatic skills of the most mature adult!! For most of these children attendance at this "quickly to erupt" monstrosity is not voluntary. If these kids don't show up armed police will soon be at their doors threatening prison or foster care.

Let's call this what it REALL IS! It is government enforced and perpetuated emotional and physical CHILD ABUSE.

Solution: Begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.
