I’m not sue-happy by any means, but sometimes idiots like these school officials just NEED a good suing.

Just learned the precise details of this reversal.

The kid can only fly the US flag on his bike if it is flown below the Mexican and hammer and sickle flags. /s

the “party of the easily offended” use litigation to get their objectives done, so why not? I hope the kid graduates and brings a BIGGER flag onstage to piss off the mexicans.

That was fast! The websites been crashed all day and the phone lines jammed.The school should have to agree to explain to all the parents why it IS ok to have OUR flag and not a foreign flag. If some of the students and parents don’t like it too bad. Just further proof if you put enough pressure on these commies they WILL back down

There’s been about 5-7 threads on this all day. And if even HALF of the pissed off FReepers were able to get through on the phone and by e-mail to the idiot principal....

I’m guessing he had heard plenty!

The right decision - at last - and only after the original idiotic decision banning the U.S. flag being displayed on a child’s bicycle was put in the national spotlight and the school officials, now embarrassed, were forced to cut the out-of-control PC crap.

Typical rats - thsy like to skulk around in the shadows and do their dirty work out of the sunlight.

These rats couldn’t take the exposure once their idiocy hit FOX News and the internet.

Parraz says the school decided on Friday to allow Cody to display his flag again, and now it will be shifting its focus to the students who complained.

Geez, ya think? What was so tough about handling the situation like this new method the first time. Just another lazy so-called public servant looking for the easy way out first.

Heard the audio today, principle sounds like he doesn’t want any trouble with the Mexicans. Is this America?

So the school asked Cody to remove the flag, both to keep the peace and for his own protection.

Can't help but ponder that last part...
