13-year-old Cody Alicea rides with an American flag on the back of his bike. He says he does this to be patriotic and to honor veterans, like his own grandfather, Robert. He's had the flag on his bike for two months but Monday, was asked told to take it down. A school official at Denair Middle School told Cody some students had been complaining about the flag and it was no longer allowed on school property. "In this country we're supposed to be free," said Cody. "And I should be able to wave my flag wherever I want to. And they're telling me I can't." Cody's grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag. He feels if there was really a problem it should have been brought up two months ago, not during Veterans week. "No action should be taken. We don't want any repercussion," said Roger. "We just want Cody to be proud of what he's doing."
I live in CA and all the public schools in my area were closed today. I suspect the schools in the Denair USD were also closed today.
That's why I left messages...
Well jerkwad, the rest of the country doesn’t want to bail your sorry a** out, especially you. Hope you rot there.
BTW, I’d much rather have a Mexican family living by me than a disgusting bitter fool like you. You’ve insulted everyone who disagrees with you, you are pathetic.
Were talking about Mexicans and Hispanics that are offended by our American flag. All you could do was attack me and CA.
I voiced my concern and anger.
You proceed to attacked me.
Thanks for revealing exactly where your allegiance resides.
You attacked everyone who said they moved from your welfare state. Deal with it and grow up. The voters spoke and re-elected Boxer and brought back Brown. Your state is doomed and the smart working taxpayers are leaving. I’d suggest you do the same.

Your state is doomed
lol....What a response!!
I think Cody, the little kid in the story displaying his American flag, would disagree with you slick.
But your not interested in Cody or the millions of others like him out here, are ya? No your not...Your only interested in dumping on CA.
Once again, thanks for revealing what gains your respect.
I'm glad your not here.
See ya!
I’m glad I’m not out there in your tax hellhole, your liberal hellhole, your high unemployed welfare state. Enjoy your socialism, you deserve it. Please stay there for the sake of the rest of us.
Cody’s school has a problem, it is run by liberals, nothing more than that.
Codys school has a problem, it is run by liberals, nothing more than that.
Pull your head out of the sand, and stop running from the truth....
It was the Hispanic/Mexican students that were *first* to complain about old glory, and declared our American flag offended them, but all you can do is attack me and the entire state.
You've made inordinately it clear, these are the same people you desire as neighbors.
We know where the Mexican kids are being taught that America is bad, and it's from their parents at home..
We know the principle ask Cody if he felt his safety were in jeopardy for displaying the American flag after angry complaints from the Mexican kids....The school said there was a safety factor in their decision...
Ya got some good friends there bfree....
Once again, you've proved exactly where your allegiance resides.
Thanks for exposing yourself, now I suggest you put up a Mexican flag in your profile.
Thanks for letting us all know that you are nothing more than a bigot.
Enjoy your dead broke, liberal hellhole.
OOOOH... Here comes the race card....
Here ya La Raza boy, here are some of the good neighbors ya want living near you....
Here’s a whole bunch of them in Texas, attacking those at a town meeting with their racial insults and Mexican flags...
Be sure to watch your friends in the last part of the video amigo

You truly are an embarrassment to the country. You are just a pathetic bigot.
So long, hope you live in misery.
Bark from the sidelines? I was born and grew up there, and have in the intervening years watched a once-beautiful state descend into a 3rd-world hellhole. Once-family friendly neighborhoods have descended into havens for crime. As so many communities in CA have declared themselves as sanctuary areas for illegals, what has that brought but gang warfare and drive-by shootings? Can you please give one piece of evidence that shows CA isn’t headed for oblivion? Its most recent voting records? Its regulatory and tax policies vis-a-vis businesses? Can you offer any other reason productive people and businesses are leaving CA in droves? Do you think it’s going to somehow get better with Pothead McMoonbeam back in the saddle in Sacramento?
Yes, the kid in the story is indeed great, but he’s of a rapidly decreasing part of the population out there.
No one ever said the negative stuff — such as the reaction to his showing the flag — was isolated to California, but it sure as hell seems to be sanctioned by government bodies. This isn’t the first time this has happened there.
You can rail against me all you want, but conditions aren’t getting better in CA. And I still maintain that in time, this country is going to cede it to Mexico.
Got news for ya, "conditions," our standard of living, our economy and our borders have not improved *anywhere* in this country for years...Will these newly elected R's turn it around? I'm waiting....
Look, your own government piled 14 *trillion* dollars debt onto the next 30 generations of Americans, and while aiding and abetted an epic illegal invasion of our country, while fat corps shipped 100,000 companies to Communist China.
Fact is there are millions of conservatives here, we have the nations largest military presence, and the largest economy by far of ANY state, even in a lousy economy... California has the best and the worst of just about everything.
It's the way it is...
BTW, I've heard it all about CA...Even the one about Satan living here, Californians are all Satan's slaves...The Sodom and Gomorrah voodoo bit, and the other one wishing violent death for the entire state population...lol... It's really laughable...Who are the real crazies?
BTW, Hispanics in CA voted for the leftist Jerry Brown 2 to 1.
