Is the U.S. Flag Offensive?
The right of free speech is guaranteed by the Constitution. The right to not be offended is not. But guess which right trumped the other in a California school last week.
The two students were minding their own business—just sitting at a table on a school break, chatting with their friends. And then the vice principal of the school walked up to the boys—and ordered them to remove their American flag bandanas. Their T-shirts also featured the Stars and Stripes. The boys were told to turn them inside out, so the flags wouldn’t show.
The boys—who often wore these kind of clothes—refused, and were sent to the principal’s office. There, they were told their T-shirts were “incendiary,” and would provoke fights.

The school system is completely f>{%|ed up but healthcare is going to be wonderful.
They’re indoctrinating and brainwashing these kids just like the communists did.
I wonder if these psuedo teachers ever wonder if the stars and stripes were found to be incindiary to the British fleet bombarding Ft McHenry.
I frankly don’t care if someone is wearing a flag and daring some commie or “can” to take a poke at them. What I do mind is if they do. At that point, they have attacked the US Flag and deserve to be incinerated.
They’re sure going about it the right way.
Once the other kids hear about this, they ALL want to wear American flags!
What bothers me is that so many of the enemies of our country are allowed to be in positions of power IN this country. That is a relatively new development and is VERY dangerous to our future if we continue to allow it.
I wonder what flag flies out in front of the school.
I have heard reports that the boys wearing the shirts were antagonizing (not sure how) the Mexicans. Not that it matters - the American flag is not offensive and even if it was, so what? This is America (sort of).
They're right, they WILL provoke a fight.....
'cause if they keep messin' with the flag, someones going to kick their ass.
NO, I just went to Sears and bought 5 more T shirts with various Red, White and Blue themes for under $25.00. The one I bought my hubby says American Veteran he’s a retired Senior Chief.
HOME SCHOOL!!
Freepers have been warning people,about this for years. This started big time in the late 40's became unstoppable after the Federal Department of Education was formed. Even Ronald Reagan could not stop the Marxist March implemented in Education. He did however, kill the double nickels insanity.
