Amy Donofrio stands in front of Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Fla. She was suspended from teaching duties after she refused to take down a Black Lives Matter flag from outside her classroom.

Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville, Fla., was segregated — whites only — until the 1971-1972 school year. Its school colors are blue and gray, the colors of the Confederacy, and its sports teams are called the Generals.

Well, our local school district is gearing up to put in place lesson plans brought forward by the southern poverty law center so...................... Despite objections by some. Pretty sure we ain’t the only place this is happening.

If one teacher can fly a BLM flag, can another fly a Nazi flag?

There are BLM posters outside California elementary schools. It’s pathetic.

But, how many stories have there been on students suspended, expelled or forced to remove any article of clothing, decal or vehicle plate or flag of Old Glory? The U.S. flag is a symbol of oppression to the education industry as the fagflag, commie flag, racist flags and usually is banned.

That woman should NOT be in a position to influence young minds. She herself is a gullible person with a need to belong, a wannabe. That she would visibly support a group based on grift, lies, violence and destruction clearly shows her lack of critical thinking skills and moral judgment. Get her outta there!

“Blue and gray”...”the colors of the Confederacy”

Oh, and my....

“Sports teams are called the Generals.”

Because no one ever had this rank called “general” except the Confederacy.

Sure! I am all for teachers flying the bLM flag, ISIS flag, Pali flag, rainbow faggot flags, and more. But with one catch. Parents are able to go to the school board, and let’s say five parents (pick a number) don’t want it the teacher is immediately fired.

BLM and Nazi flags will be deemed fine but heaven forbid them flying USA flags.

If a teacher flew a pro-white flag, they would say it was racist and hateful and made children of color feel unsafe. It would never be allowed. So neither should this.

Let the teacher fly a flag with pictures of the mansions the Black Lives MatterTM grifters bought with money they ripped off from donors, and taxpayers via corporate tax write-offs.

A “yes” verdict will be a wonderful precedent for those wanting to fly other flags, if you get my drift...

So another teacher could fly a ‘Trump 2024’ flag then? Another could fly the ‘Blue Lives Matter’ flag then? A Canadian flag? Gay Pride or other abnormal flags? Other state flags? When will it end? When the flagpole tips over for flying too many flags?

Mayor Muriel Bowser on June 5, 2020’s BLM Plaza was one the sad turning points in legitimizing this militant group responsible for much of violence, especially against cops...
