Burning or tearing American flag = constitutionally protected right.

Tearing Mexican flag = hate crime.

My guess is that if he had stolen an American Flag he would also be in trouble with the police. And if he had brought a Mexican Flag that he owned to the ROTC office that he would not be sought by the police.

Thus, the issue is not that the American Flag is not protected while the Mexican Flag is but instead an issue of him taking property that does not belong to him.

It is a simple issue of Property Rights which I hope every Freeper would recognize and support.

Right on, Marcus!

I remember demonstrating in Gainsville, Fla. when the city flew the UN flag out front, with no American flag in site.

The cops were all over us, protecting the UN flag.

Fortunately, we were no arrested for bearing the Confederate colours.

["no arrested" is Scottish for 'not arrested.']

My checkbook is out and my fingers are itching.

Where is the Peter Lynch Suit/Defense Fund located?

That's just a start.
What is the name of the School District?
The School District Board?

That's it!
School Boards must accept the fact that they are responsible for stupid administrators in their schools.
Ignorance and/or stupidity cannot be an excuse for School Boads to allow incompetent administrators to run foreign country protectorates on U.S. soil.

Unacceptable.

Will a large monetary award clarify it for them?
