To liberals like Tom Stumpf, we're the racists and the invaders.

I am now thoroughly convinced that this country has gone stark-raving mad!

Think the ACLU will be there for Carlson? Ha!

If the school bans the flag, they should get their State funding pulled as well.

This was on O'Reilly last week.
Stupid principal over-reacting. He banned ALL flags, even the U.S. flag. Moron with no backbone and no brains.
He should have let the students work it out. That's what free speech, protesting and freedom to assemble is all about.

"People are taking it to a whole other level," said Laura Avitia. "I don't think they know why we were protesting."

Well, I'm pretty open to reason. But, I seriously doubt if Laura could explain it to me.

"They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."

Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag - as well as flags from other countries - amid racial tensions following immigration rallies.

When they started villifying the display of confederate symbols in the south, I knew it was only a matter of time before they started villifying the display of Old Glory on American soil.

God, I hate being right. WTH is wrong with a country when people think you shouldn't fly your own flag? What is it with these liberals' pathologlical need to hate themselves and their own country anyway?

Skyline High School Principal Tom Stumpf said American flags were brazenly waved in the faces of Hispanic students..

"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."

Get a rope..

Just informationally, I vowed last week to confiscate enemy claims on our national territory (i.e. remove Mexican flags if displayed above the U.S. flag, or otherwise improperly), and am happy to report I am indeed NOT yet in jail, and have had to make no counter-insurgent raids.

In fact, I really took the time to notice last week, and was proud of all the U.S. and Texas flags flying high and free in Houston, Texas. At the corner of Westheimer and Kirkwood, I could spot no less than 12 American flags, waving proudly in the breeze.

To clarify: The school has banned ALL flags, I assume this means student-held flags. I hate to say this, but I'm ok with it. What ticks me off is that it was OK for the Latinos to have a few days of waving their flag in everyone's faces, but as soon as the US flag was waved in faces, well, then the flag waving became "dangerous". I'm sure the admin is using the safety issue to cover their behinds. It's stupid, but it's "for the children".

How dangerous or inflammatory will it be when I deck my yard in little American flags on Thursday? Thank God I'm the superintendent and principal of my school!

If this country means freedom

A sadly outdated proposition, I'm afraid.

Gang:

Last Friday, I received a call from Randy Zila, superintendent of St. Vrain Valley School District, which contains Skyline High School. He assured me that no flag ban of any kind was in place.

This past weekend, I noted many quotes attributed to Principal Stumpf at Skyline and even a video clip that clearly showed there was in fact a ban on kids showing the US flag in any fashion.

Monday morning, I called Mr. Zila and left a message regarding this info, which it appeared, somehow, he did not have, i.e., that one of his principals had in fact instituted a ban and apparently did not tell the superintendent, or perhaps the superintendent was trying to play ignorant to cover his own butt, although that coverage was pretty shabby.

He called back and asked me to provide proof of my claims. I sent him the story links and video link, and told him this would be a major part of my show Monday evening.

Shortly thereafter, he called back and said he had just spoken with Principal Stumpf, who said he would comply with the superintendent's order to immediately lift the ban, which is against district policy, the Constitution, etc.

So, just a bit of pressure and follow-up got the ban lifted, at least according to Mr. Zila.
