I know how she feels. There's nothing like a soldier/marine in a uniform to make me a little weak kneed and breathless.

The Colorado Attorney General, John Suthers, is preparing to take the Principal, Myla Shepherd

Good for John Suthers. Hopefully the resolution of this will involve some jail time for Myla Shepherd.

I'm not sure what you are saying....but the Mexican Flag I remember was fixed at the Alamo. They want another Alamo we can give them one. They have no right to fly their "after dinner napkin" in our country. We kicked their butts in the 19th century and we will do it again.

The enemies of the U.S. should be targets and become extinct in the eyes of jurisprudence.........and whatever. It's time to fight no more time to talk. All those without a social Sec number,....have to go and in cattle cars or box cars under the threat of arms...........

Due to the fact that the CO state senate voted last night to cut off funds to any school that bans the US flag, the dress code rules against the flag were suspended by this nitwit of a principal. I guess they "forgot" to mention that in the PR release.

Wearing the red,white and blue, or even an American flag on ones clothing shouldn't offend anybody, if they're a true American.

Exactly! I mean, this is OUR country...if they're offended by an American showing pride in America, they should just leave!

This whole situation is just freakin' ridiculous!

I bet if the the flags were Mexican or rainbow colored the principal would have nothing to say.

I sure hope so.

You know, I had a problem with kids taking the flag to school and carrying it thru the hall. I can only imagine the distruption and potential for problems for school personnel- I do not believe that is the time or the place, and the reverence that should be associated with the flag can not possibly be properly displayed.

I believe the kids who walked out (hispanics, latinos, Mexicans,etc.) should be marked as truant and properly addressed with detentions and further walk outs should result in suspensions. If they keep it up, miss too many days, they flunk.

This action is abominable. We had a prinicpal who was very problematic. Issues were at a full rolling boil when, as it happened, she used Columbine to legitimize a full lock down the school(and issue no visitor passes) for the remainder of the year. She hasn't worked in education since that little issue was resolved.

Cowards cut and run. Marines never do.

There better be a lawsuit about this unconstitutional decision from our "educators." The letter from Mr. Tancredo was OK, but the US flag certainly cannot be legally banned, and this should be stated in no uncertain terms NY A LAWYER. In fact, US schools, at least in WA state are told to display American flags on campus.
