It seems the school administrators are getting very soft on discipline problems as this kid only received a three day suspension for theft of private property.
In my day, if a student had been caught stealing private property, he would have been expelled and handed over to law enforcement.
The Klein Independent School District has gone into full defensive mode, posting police officers outside and emphasizing that the flag was a student's idea to celebrate his heritage

in your day, blah blah blah.
what BS.
save it for something American, huh?
Private property my American butt.
In your day, would a Mexican flag be hung in your school hallway without a reason...or without an American flag in a higher position of honor?
In your day, would you be suspended for having an American flag on your bike?
The article doesn’t indicate the boy stole the flag. It says he took it down. He may have folded it and placed it on a nearby shelf.
Are you insane? Its agains’t the law to fly the flags of other nations. That school should be sued for allowing it. We have one flag here Junior, the American flag.
