Security officials told the student they focus on diversity at the school and they dont want anyone to feel uncomfortable.
A high school student in Northglenn is upset that campus security told him to remove the large American flags flying from his pickup truck because it might make others uncomfortable.
Jeremy Stoppel told 7NEWS he got a ticket at Northglenn High School last Thursday for squealing his tires. He said he deserved that ticket and deserved having his parking lot pass suspended for two weeks.
But hes upset that campus security then told him he cant fly his 3 feet by 5 feet flags in the bed of his pickup truck anymore.
She said I should take my flags down. She said this is a school that focuses on diversity and she doesnt want anyone to feel uncomfortable, Stoppel said. How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? Thats where Im confused.

As James Taranto reported in Best of the Web, last week, those who hate their own culture and symbols are Oikophobes, the opposite of xenophobes. They hate their own culture because they dream of a borderless world, free of nationalism, with a one world government and socialism.

I too wondered if the security guard who started this is Mexican, or maybe an illegal. The latter wouldn’t surprise me.

Your post needs bumped for the kneejerks.."I read this story yesterday. This is misleading.... The school did NOT tell the student that he couldnt have the flags on his truck. It was a security guard who took it upon herself to tell the kid he shouldnt fly the flags. The school officials, however, said that the security guard didnt have the authority to tell the student that and they would speak with her. The school said they have flags all over the school and wouldnt have a policy that didnt allow the students to display a flag."

Then he should switch to the Confederate Flag, I’m just sayin.

Ask the geniuses what "E pluribus unum" means. Do you remember when Al Gore said it meant "Out of one, many?"

I wish I could do that to my motor home. It's a ‘73, and has that corrugated aluminum skin that makes putting anything on it an impossibility.

Burning the flag is “freedom of speech”, but displaying it is not?

People living in the United States of America who are offended by the flag of the United States of America should do themselves a huge favor and move to whatever country it is which flag does not offend them.
Seriously.

"Do you remember when Al Gore said it meant "Out of one, many?" Would we ever be allowed to forget if President Bush (either one) had ever said anything so monumentally stupid?

Gateway Pundit is really at fault for not presenting the entire article on his blog.

If the flag of the USA is offensive to the school administration then fly a Nazi flag, a USSR flag, or Imperial Japanese flag. Or to really offend them fly a flag from Mozambique. I am sure the picture of the AK-47 on it would really offend them.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself) 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.
