I have checked the Denair “Unified” Middle School website and have been unable to locate e-mail addresses for the administrators
Better late then never ... how about a list of the school board members:

More to the point, how many of the complainers PARENTS are illegals.

Thats the question!

Every school that bans the American flag should immediately lose their federal funding.

A California school has done a U-turn ...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

There's been NO “U-Turn”. The communist principal and his Marxist minions and Useful Idiots ( Oops! “Teachers”) will simply be more subtle.

I bet that school was full to the brim with students the day after this story broke. I suppose free government babysitting is powerfully addictive.

And finally....It would be better for a child **never** to go to school at all than to be subjected to the indoctrination found in our collectivist government indoctrination camps ( “schools”) and imposed upon them by our people's school collectives ( AKA “School Boards) I **seriously** mean this.

Illiteracy and innumeracy can be fixed. Moral and ethical debasement almost always comes with lifelong consequences and sorrow.

If these love Mexico first and pee on the American Flags while banning our flags don't like it and are upset.

I have one suggestion for them:

Pack your damn bags and go live in the filfthy third world country you love so much. We can get volunteers to pack your bags and put you on a one way free bus ride to the Mexican Border.

Local radio show did a google Earth search and found what looked to be an American flag flying outside the school.

Who were the kids that complained about the flag?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I bet it was the communist teachers who complained. Not any student. ( My guess.)

Folks will have to pardon me, but it’s my opinion that when school officials equate our flag with racism, they need to be given the opportunity to seek other employment. NOW!

It was the Hispanic/Mexican students that were *first* to complain about old glory, and declared our American flag offended them.

We know where the Mexican kids are being taught that America is bad, and it's from their parents at home..

We also 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...

It was the Mexican/Hispanic kids that declared the American flag offended them.

Suggestion to those who are "offended" by seeing an American flag:

Leave the country immediately and never return. Your chances of seeing another American flag will be greatly reduced.

Wrong, it was initially the Mexican/Hispanic students that angrily complained and Cody was asked by the school if he felt his safety was in jeopardy.

See#89.

You seem to be another Mexican sympathizer....Here watch this video of Mexicans attacking a town hall meeting in Texas while waving their Mexican flags....

Be sure to watch the end of the video.

A few less Mexican complainers...

That’s my fix.

My guess is that there are more than a few who feel that way. Let their parents join them at the border.

They’re not complaining. They are symptomatically, incrementally taking over the U.S.

These people are the most disrespectful people on the planet as they do defecate by the millions on our laws, our borders, our rules,...
And that's just here in the US. Look what they've done (or allowed to happen) to their own country.
The liberal-commie press always talks about how brave they are and how much they love freedom.
BS - not a damned one of the 20 million illegals in this country had the balls to lift a finger to save their own country. Feckin' freeloading cowards.

I feel the same. Enough is enough! I am starting to think people are afraid of mexicans etc which is dangerous. I read a quote that made sense....

“You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.”......~Eric Hoffer~

Maybe it is time to frighten all these SOB's back into their own countries asap. We don't need them. Muslims, Mexicans & anybody else who can't adapt to being a real American can get the h-ll out IMHO. We are letting them here & they are making rules & taking jobs. Send them back to where they belong.

The official approach they teach in college and employ nationally is...”2 steps forward and one step back “if you meet resistance...on one issue ..back off and push another”...this is actually taught in many classes...that we all pay for.
