Good Catch!

Over the last 24 hours, an issue has been brought to light regarding our policy of flags not being allowed on our students’ vehicles in the student parking lot.
Due to the outstanding display of patriotism through peaceful demonstration, it is apparent to us that many are not happy about this policy.
School officials have reviewed the standing policy regarding flags and have decided that an exception will be made for the American flag, as long as the size of the flag(s) does not create a driving hazard.
As administrators of York Comprehensive High School, we are extremely passionate Americans and have deep seeded feelings of patriotism. We promote the good citizenship in our classrooms, fly the American flag in our rooms, in front of the building, and on our athletic fields. We have a student lead the pledge of allegiance every morning.
We appreciate the passion and pride of all who have called or come by YCHS over the past 24 hours. America was founded by Patriots who led positive change in a myriad of ways. We believe today is a great example of peaceful demonstration leading to positive change. This is the very process we advocate in our Social Studies classrooms and the fabric of American citizenship. Thank you for helping us as we educate the students of our community.
what’s with all the ‘we’ in the response.
Most of the ‘we’ should be replaced with ‘you’.
“As administrators of York Comprehensive High School, we are extremely passionate Americans and have deep seeded feelings of patriotism.”
“Comprehensive?” There’s that word that makes my backside pucker. One of the two RAT/Marxist “C” Words. they other is “common sense.” They are always for “comprehensive change” but they have no “common sense” as has been exhibited for all to see in this case.
And the proper response is "You can go F*** yourself."
I thin he should install it back on his truck. One difference, this time install it on a “lighted” flag pole.
Hapless vice principals that are not good electricians, should not unbolt things on trucks.
I also think tampering with his truck is some sort of a violation to the students rights. People just can’t go around removing things from other people’s property just because they have a wrench, and someone thinks it’s offensive.
Oooh, I imagine so after the school board had a few phone calls and witnessed the parade of flags. That principal needs to be fired asap. I've been the cause of school officials to have second thoughts and it doesn't take much to send them scurrying. A phone call or two to board members and certain business owners around town and every idiotic new rule has been rescinded before closing time the same day, tee hee.
I wish more people had the guts to say that. Matter of fact, that's my new tagline!
