Colorado High School Tells Student to Remove US Flag From Truck… It’s Offensive

Security officials told the student they focus on diversity at the school and they don’t 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 he’s upset that campus security then told him he can’t 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 doesn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable,” Stoppel said. “How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? That’s where I’m confused.”

Any bets on such treatment if he flew the flag of ANY OTHER country from his vehicle?

"...a school that focuses on diversity..."

No country has ever survived by concentrating on diversity. It is unity of culture in as nation that keeps it strong. Until very recently, immigrants to this country knew from where they came, but embraced the culture of the United States. They were no longer Irishmen or Germans, they were Americans.

This new leftist mantra of "diversity" is nothing but a scheme to weaken our national identity. It makes us easy pickings for other strong and unified cultures to infiltrate and take root. You know of what I speak.
