LONGMONT, Colo. (April 1) - Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag- (SNIP)
Students were warned about the policy Friday and several were suspended, although Stumpf would not provide details. Then, about 100 students protested during lunch time.
Student Dustin Carlson told Denver station KCNC-TV that he was suspended for two days.

This is UNREAL!!!
bttt
"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."
Go to the article and take the poll.
First it's the Bible and now Old Glory. We're being invaded and don't know it.
Government schools delenda est.
UNITED STATES CODE TITLE 36 CHAPTER 10 §174. Time and occasions for display
(e) Display on or near administration building of public institutions The flag should be displayed daily on or near the main administration building of every public institution. (
f) Display in or near polling places The flag should be displayed in or near every polling place on election days.
(g) Display in or near schoolhouses The flag should be displayed during school days in or near every schoolhouse.
I'm speechless.
One suspended patriot says:
"I'm getting suspended for it and personally I think that's uncalled for," he said. "If this country means freedom, then why can't we fly our own flag? It's ridiculous."
Well put.
Outrage.
Somebody needs to remind this principal earnestly. that this is America and we fly our flag here and if he doesnt want to he can be replaced.
I would reccommend the local American Legion and VFW pay him a visit.
Okay, this is just f***ed up! America represents everyone regardless of race. If they don't like it, the they can get the f*** out of America.
Did the school make the right decision in banning the U.S. flag?
No 88%
Yes 12%
Total votes: 111,296
112,000 people disagreed with the principal. 88%.
HEIL HITLER, STALIN and any other opressive bi*** you can think off. KILL,KILL,KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I have a feeling he is either a gay liberal or a mexican. (Or a unique combo of both)
From an article here:
http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/8385889/detail.html
We aren't just talking about waving a flag, but the ban this week prohibits students from displaying, wearing or flying any flag. Thus a flag on a bookpack, shirt, jacket or a lapel pin is banned, including a flag on a student's car. I'd just like to see them try to kick a sibling or son/daughter of an American serving his country in Iraq out of school for this. There would be so many protests that the school board would have to have extra security at the next meeting and more than one lawyer would sue the district for any number of reasons.
"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said.
I would like to know from principal Stumpf how an American can vilify a person in America with "Old Glory." This man should be fired.
