Watch The Wingers Jump All Over This


Flag waving banned at Colorado School.
Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag - as well as flags from other countries - amid racial tensions following immigration rallies.

Up to now I've mentioned the only info the wingers will use. And they may stop reading at the first "-". But if you read on in the article, the ban makes perfect sense.
Skyline High School Principal Tom Stumpf said American flags were brazenly waved in the faces of Hispanic students and in one case a Mexican flag was thrown into the face of another student.

"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."

This principal was not thinking right. However, the law states a principal has the right to do whatever he feels is justified to keep control on his campus. I am a longitme educator and please don't think I am siding with this guy. I AM NOT!!! He made a stupid move! He could have come up with a better way to deal with this problem.

You know he is going to feel heat about this one. People in the community are going to react to this. When they do, he will have more problems than he has now.
