I call BS on this story.
The kid's not a hero. He's a thief.
Sorry, this is an example of looking for a story to fit a template - just like they do on the left.
The pic showing the American upside down and beneath the Mexican flag is bull. Here's a pic of the actual "offense".
The kid stole the flag. It was part of a harmless display. His excuse is lame. He was just being mischievous and got caught. I can't believe how gullible everyone is on this.
Let's see, I support Rule of Law, Ordered Liberty, Respect for Private Property, - er uh except if somebody says they defy all of that in the name of Patriotism. This is BS.
There's probably plenty wrong with Klein ISD - but suspending a kid for destroying a school display isnt' one of them.

or just click the pic above.
No place in US taxpayer supported Public schools for display of one other countries flag. We pledge allegiance to what? That is one of the problems with many Mexicans, most do not want to assimilate, just work and take benefits from the US. Civics and Hostory classes must not be doing their job in our schools. Would you hang the flag from another high school during football season there?
The pic showing the American upside down and beneath the Mexican flag is bull. See my post #11.
Yeah, the flag was tacked up inside the school, on a kind of hallway overpass.
The Chronicle didn't post the upside down flag pic with this article.
The kid stole the flag.
He tore it down and chunked it in the trash.

Good. The United States is private property.
Keep the Mexican ragflag off of it.
