Local School Suspends Student for Removing MEXICAN Flag
Yesterday, a listener’s son was offended that his school, Klein Collins High School, displayed the Mexican flag prominently. His mother called to complain, and the school wouldn’t 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 you’d 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 wouldn’t do anything about it, I’ll bet.
The above-displayed image of a Mexican national flag flown above an upside-down U.S. flag was taken on 27 March 2006 at Montebello High School (MHS) in California during a student protest over immigration reform. According to news reports, the flag incident was prompted and implemented not by MHS students, but by a large group of students from neighboring schools:
What’s wrong with your governor? Why isn’t he pushing for a law like Arizona just passed?
I agree. The situation is charged enough without having to resort to that.
No need for it.
Michael Berry, on AM 740, stated that the photo was posted from the parent of the suspended student. The parent took the photo earlier in the day, before the student took the Mexican flag down.
From that same link. What bothers me, is that in spite of EVERYTHING she said, she still says she would give them amnesty. Unfreekingbelieveable.
“Arizona State Senator Explains Anti-Illegal Bill
I’m Arizona State Senator Sylvia Allen. I want to explain SB 1070 which I voted for and was just signed by Governor Jan Brewer.
Rancher Rob Krantz was murdered by the drug cartel on his ranch a month ago. I participated in a senate hearing two weeks ago on the border violence, here is just some of the highlights from those who testified.
The people who live within 60 to 80 miles of the Arizona/Mexico Border have for years been terrorized and have pleaded for help to stop the daily invasion of humans who cross their property . One Rancher testified that 300 to 1200 people a DAY come across his ranch vandalizing his property, stealing his vehicles and property, cutting down his fences, and leaving trash. In the last
two years he has found 17 dead bodies and two Koran bibles.
Another rancher testified that daily drugs are brought across his ranch in a military operation. A point man with a machine gun goes in front, 1/2 mile behind are the guards fully armed, 1/2 mile behind them are the drugs, behind the drugs 1/2 mile are more guards. These people are violent and they will kill anyone who gets in the way. This was not the only rancher we heard that day that talked about the drug trains.
One man told of two illegal’s who came upon his property one shot in the back and the other in the arm by the drug runners who had forced them to carry the drugs and then shot them. Daily they listen to gun fire during the night it is not safe to leave his family alone on the ranch and they can’t leave the ranch for fear of nothing being left when they come back.
The border patrol is not on the border. They have set up 60 miles away with check points that do nothing to stop the invasion. They are not allowed to use force in stopping anyone who is entering. They run around chasing them, if they get their hands on them then they can take them back across the border.
Federal prisons have over 35% illegal’s and 20% of Arizona prisons are filled with illegals. In the last few years 80% of our law enforcement that have been killed or wounded have been by an illegal.
The majority of people coming now are people we need to be worried about. The ranchers told us that they have seen a change in the people coming they are not just those who are looking for work and a better life.
The Federal Government has refused for years to do anything to help the border states . We have been over run and once they are here we have the burden of funding state services that they use. Education cost have been over a billion dollars. The healthcare cost billions of dollars. Our State is broke, $3.5 billion deficit and we have many serious decisions to make. One is that we do not have the money to care for any who are not here legally. It has to stop.
The border can be secured. We have the technology we have the ability to stop this invasion. We must know who is coming and they must come in an organized manner legally so that we can assimilate them into our population and protect the sovereignty of our country. We are a nation of laws. We have a responsibility to protect our citizens and to protect the integrity of our country and the government which we live under.
I would give amnesty today to many, but here is the problem, we dare not do this until the Border is secure. It will do no good to forgive them because thousands will come behind them and we will be over run to the point that there will no longer be the United States of America but a North American Union of open borders.
I ask you what form of government will we live under? How long will it be before we will be just like Mexico , Canada or any of the
other Central American or South American countries? We have already lost our language, everything must be printed in Spanish also. We have already lost our history—it is no longer taught in our schools. And we have lost our borders.
The leftist media has distorted what SB 1070 will do. It is not going to set up a Nazi Germany. Are you kidding. The ACLU and the leftist courts will do everything to protect those who are here illegally, but it was an effort to try and stop illegal’s from setting up businesses, and employment, and receiving state services and give the ability to local law enforcement when there is probable cause like a traffic stop to determine if they are here legally. Federal law is very clear if you are here on a visa you must have your papers on you at all times. That is the law. In Arizona all you need to show you are a legal citizen is a driver license, MVD identification card,
Native American Card, or a Military ID. This is what you need to vote, get a hunting license, etc.. So nothing new has been added to this law. No one is going to be stopped walking down the street etc...
The Socialist who are in power in DC are angry because we dare try and do something and that something the Socialist wants us to do is just let them come. They want the “Transformation” to continue.
Maybe it is too late to save America . Maybe we are not worthy of freedom anymore. But as an elected official I must try to do what I can to protect our Constitutional Republic . Living in America is not a right just because you can walk across the border. Being an American is a responsibility and it comes by respecting and upholding the Constitution the law of our land which says what you must do to be a citizen of this country. Freedom is not free.”
I was suspect of that. Some situations are bad enough on their own, we don’t need to use false pretenses to make them worse.
This was dishonest and beneath us. I’m glad you brought that to my attention. It confirmed my suspicions.
Re: Rancher Rob Krantz
It really was a shame that the US gov would not protect American Citizens, but would allow a rancher to live in fear for so long before finally being killed.
“Provide for the Common Defense” ... man-child Zero in WH has no clue ...
The illegals did the same kind of things a couple of years ago. It is getting harder and harder for the open borders idiots to use the same old clap trap: hard working folks, family values, do the jobs Americans don’t do. Everytime the anchor babies get in the streets acting like savages, the American people become filled with disgust. These anchor babies just can’t help themselves, they just have to throw their tantrums in our streets.
People are getting less and less sympathetic to these invaders. Even the RINOS are starting to back down from there fawning and adulation of the illegals. Only the Dems are still using the old open borders rhetoric and they are making themselves look really bad before the American people.
There is less tolerance for the idea that somehow we have to solve the problems of the poor illegals. We have to think about what is good for us, let them take care of themselves. They found their way in, they can find their way out.
Astroworld was bulldozed years ago...Its a vacant lot now...
This whole story is hard to follow and I find no other source in the media.
However I get the impression the sign that was taken down by the Klein Collins student included a photo of the upside down US flag that was displayed in CA a couple of years ago. I’m not sure as this story is total incoherent to me.
Ted Poe will be on this like stink on poop...
They did go that far. That flag raising was done in front of a highschool in Whittier, California. The picture was in the local newspaper. This happened during the last big illegal rallies two or three years ago. Hundreds of kids left their school then walked to the school in Whittier. There are pictures of these kids taking down the American flag from the school flagpole, then replacing it with the Mexican flag on top and the American flag, upside down, at the bottom.
They only write what feels good to them, never mind filling in all the facts
Its been done before...
What is sad is that you might get into more trouble for cutting anything down at a school in Texas...
They’ll get you for bringing a weapon onto school grounds...”Zero Tolerance” policies, remember...
Ping ... thanks for posting the video!
Cavuto says ... “it is illegal to fly another flag above the US flag”
I guess they don’t teach much in high school anymore!
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Apparently, KBar created a commemorative knife bearing his name. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Brossard
“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.
It’s time Americans learned the true history, as a counter to the prevalent Aztlaner fairy tales. “
You just gave me another reason to keep them out. We have already exceeded our quota of STUPID PEOPLE.
Where on the website does it have “more info”?
