Colorado School Comes Under Fire for Hanging Saudi Flag Higher Than American Flag September 05, 2011
An elementary school in Colorado has come under criticism after they lowered the American flag and elevated a Saudi Arabian flag. The principal at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins said they did not mean to disrespect the American flag, according to a report in the Greeley Gazzette.
Principal Brian Carpenter told the newspaper that the American flag was immediately returned to its proper and prominent position at the school. He explained that other flags are posted around the school to recognize the nationalities of students from other countries.
A photograph showing the raised Saudi flag alongside the lowered American flag was first posted on the Greeley Report, a local blog. It generated lots of local debate. “We realize this is an extremely sensitive time with us getting close to the 10th anniversary of 9/11," Carpenter told the Gazzette.

I’d have done what the Egyptian did to the Israeli flag. Torn it down.

My company being an international concern HQ’d in Canada, both national flags are displayed. In the U.S, ours is discernibly higher; in Canadian offices, their protocols govern. It only shows the proper respect.
To do anything else, particularly at a governmental entity, smacks of a deliberate (un-American) agenda...
So the American students are from another country? Are these the states-rights nuts that hang out in the hills of Colorado?
One could almost say Old Glory is “bowing” to the Saudi rag....
LOL, check out this tard’s blog:

CO ping.
how many of those hijackers were Saudi again??
The principal should be fired for general stupidity
I’d bury him up to his neck in Korans and pelt him with horse manure. Two birds - one stone.
If there was ever a reason for a bloody rampage...
Sept. 19, no school......its Collaboration day.
Bowed flag, collaboration day, no better place to hide, then in plain sight.
There is no such requirement, I wish there were.
In San Diego and El Paso and other cities there are buses that pick up Mexican kids at border crossings so they can attend US schools and go home after school.
Most school districts will not reject illegal aliens at all when they apply.
Public School.
Yes, I'm aware of that. Picking up Mexican kids at the border to go to American schools is particularly obnoxious. Displaying Mexican flags in those American schools adds insult to injury, especially when you consider who is paying for these Mexican kids' education.
Meanwhile you’d go to jail if you sent your kids to a better school across town.
Hope you didn’t buy it.
