Local School Suspends Student for Removing MEXICAN Flag
Yesterday, a listeners son was offended that his school, Klein Collins High School, displayed the Mexican flag prominently. His mother called to complain, and the school wouldnt return her call. The student took the sign down.
The school pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, found the student, and suspended him for 3 days. AND he has to pay for the flag. In light of the SF story of students sent home for wearing the AMERICAN flag because it offended the Hispanic students, I thought youd like to know about a story closer to home.
Right here in our community. Feel free to let the school know what you think. You pay their salaries.

You realize, I assume, that if a student removed or even burned the AMERICAN flag, they wouldnt do anything about it, Ill bet.
Every parent should get his children out, and not only in Texas.
lol im texan living in ok ....hope you continue to fight.
Re: Id take them to Disneyland for their suspension time
Great idea ... and I don’t know if Astroworld is still open or not ... but take them to Galveston
....it’s time some young AMERICANS students at that SF school show some spine. If I were.....I would organize a day where every AMERICAN student would show up wearing a t-shirt with Old Glory proudly across the chest......EVERY DAY UNTIL THESE PC SICKENED SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS GOT THE &*^%) MESSAGE!!.....and see if the illegals were still offended...NOT THAT IT WOULD MATTER
bump
I have nothing against those of Mexican or South American heritage who here legally ... they are hard-working, God-fearing folks.
I have a HUGE problem with anyone flying the Mexican flag above the US flag at a Texas Public School!
Mexico isn’t paying the school taxes, I promise you ...
Sounds like Klein ISD got a case of the Aztlan...
These parents should fight this suspension big time. Every American should be offended when a foreign flag is placed in promience over the US flag
Frankly I’m surprised it isn’t Mrs. Dick in today’s climate.

Texas like some other PC states seem to be going the same way. It is getting a bit disgusting. Texans will fight this!
Looks like a perfect opportunity for your history lesson we were discussing earlier via Freepmail...
Oops, that would be Ms. Dick.

Re: Every American should be offended when a foreign flag is placed in promience over the US flag
Absolutely! Don’t ever put up with it, especially on government or public property.
It’s my understanding that public schools have to display the American flag with respect. If our flag was indeed upside down, and the Mexican flag flew above it, that principal and his staff would be in jeopardy as far as their employment is concerned.
The True History of the Southwest, 101 by Matthew Bracken
The fallacies surrounding the history of the Southwest are staggering, chief among them the Aztlan fairy tales. Whats the truth? How did the Spanish Europeans conquer the Southwest? The conquistadores (that means conquerors) did it with the lance, and the lash.
For example, in 1541 Coronado entered present-day New Mexico (which included present-day Arizona during the Spanish era) searching for the lost cities of gold. One of his first actions upon meeting the natives was to burn 100s of them alive in their dwellings, for not handing over suspected horse thieves. That is how Spain conquered the natives of the present US Southwestnot with hugs and kisses. It was certainly no love-fest between long-lost brown-skinned soul-mates, as it is often portrayed today by the delusional Aztlaners, who spin the new bronze race of Mestizos toro-mierda.
By 1821, Mexico City was strong enough to overthrow the even more decrepit and ineffectual Spanish rule. However, the distant provinces of the current U.S. Southwest were far beyond the reach of the authority of the independent but strife-torn government of Mexico City. These distant northern provinces received neither military protection nor needed levels of trade from the south. Under Spanish rule, trade with the USA was forbidden, but at least Spain provided trade and Army protection from hostile Indians. Under Mexican abandonment and neglect, the Southwest received neither trade nor protection from Mexico City.
For example, Comanches and Apaches ran rampant in the 1830s in this power vacuum created by Mexican neglect, burning scores of major ranches that had been active for hundreds of years and massacring their inhabitants. Mexico City could neither defend nor keep the allegiance of its nominal subjects in these regions. Nor did it provide needed levels of trade to sustain the prior Spanish-era standard of living. Mexican governmental influence atrophied, withered and died at the same time that American pathfinders were opening up new routes into the region.
Increasingly, a growing United States of America was making inroads into the Southwest, via ships into California, and via gigantic wagon trains of trade goods over the Santa Fe Trail from St. Louis. The standard of living of the SPANISH in these provinces subsequently increased enormously, which is why they did not support Mexico City in the 1846-48 war. In fact, the Spanish-speaking inhabitants of the Southwest NEVER considered themselves Mexicans at all, ever. They went, in their own eyes, from SPANISH directly to AMERICAN. To this very day, if you want a punch in the nose, just call an Hispanic native of New Mexico a Mexican!
So how long did Mexico City have even nominal jurisdiction (in their eyes) over the American Southwest? For only 25 years, during which they had no effective control, and the area slipped backwards by every measure until the arrival of the Americans. The SPANISH inhabitants of the Southwest NEVER transferred their loyalty to Mexico City, because all they received from the chaotic Mexican government was misrule, neglect, and unchecked Indian raids.
Since then, how long has the area been under firm American control? For 150 continuous years, during which time the former Spanish inhabitants of the region, now American citizens, have prospered beyond the wildest dreams of the Mexicans still stuck in Mexico. To compare the infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals etc of the two regions is to understand the truth. The Mexican government has been mired in graft, corruption, nepotism and chaos from the very start until today. The ordinary Mexican peons have been trampled and abused, while only the super-rich elites have thrived. This is why millions of Mexicans want to escape from Mexico today, to enjoy the benefits of living in America that they can never hope to obtain in Mexico.
And because today Mexico is a corrupt third-world pest-hole, (despite having more millionaires and billionaires than Great Britain), we are now supposed to let any Mexican from Chiapas, Michoacan or Yucatan march into the American Southwest, and make some historical claim of a right to live there?
From where does this absurd idea spring?
At what point in history did Indians and Mestizos from Zacatecas or Durango stake a claim on the American Southwest? Neither they nor their ancestors ever lived for one single day in the American Southwest. The Spanish living in the Southwest in 1846 stayed there, and became Americans by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. There were no Spanish inhabitants of the Southwest who were marched to the border and driven into Mexico. It didnt happen. The SPANISH in the Southwest welcomed American citizenship, which brought stability, protection from Indian raids, and a vast increase in their standard of living with the increase in trade.
In summary, NO current inhabitants of Mexico have ANY claim on even one single inch of the Southwest!
NOT ONE citizen of Mexico is sneaking into the USA to reclaim property their ancestors were deprived of, NOT ONE.
They are criminal invaders and colonizers, pure and simple.
Its time Americans learned the true history, as a counter to the prevalent Aztlaner fairy tales.
Did I get this right? Is this a picture from the school? The school flew a Mexican flag over an upside down American flag? What did they mean by he took the sign down?
