American Flag Banned In Colorado School

Longmont, Colorado?s Skyline High School has banned the display of the US flag on school property. Several students who brought the US flag to school on Friday, in protest to the school ban, were suspended.
Skyline High School Principal Tom Stumpf said that the US flag intimidated Mexican descent students who wanted to display the Mexican flag. Stumpf commented: ?When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it. They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."
Dustin Carlson, one of the suspended students, said on Denver?s KCNC-TV: ?I'm getting suspended for it [carrying the US flag] and personally I think that's uncalled for. If this country means freedom, then why can't we fly our own flag? It's ridiculous."

I hope everyone involved in this ban gets fired, and all the mexicans get deported.

yet the mexican flag is allowed... not surprising, la raza hard at work no doubt.
and who the hell is Tom Stumpf to call their patriotism misguided?!?
At my college you are not allowed to display the american flag in your dorm, but international students can and do display flags from their nation. I wear a flag on my hat and get shit for it occasionally. The muslim students look at me like, well, like im an evil american infidel.

If I went to that school I would have brought my American flag in and said "This is not intimidating Mexican students." At which point I would pull out a Mexican flag and promptly set it on fire exclaiming "THIS is intimidating Mexican students......... LA MIGRA!! LA MIGRA!!"
I hope that douchewad gets fired.

ive never used a flag for anything... dont see myself represented in it but for those that like to play along, i find it funny to ban the flag in school. in fact by doing that they are driving americans and mexicans apart, especially to those getting in trouble.

The problem is they banned the American flag. I don't care if they ban all the others, although they shouldn't, but the American flag should be off limits.

And next they'll ban any kind of clothing the students wear that combines the colors of any nation's flags so as not to offend anybody. Soon they'll only be able to wear black, white, and grey.

I dont see that anywhere. It said the American flag intimidated students who wanted to fly the Mexican flag, so the American flag got banned. Maybe im reading it wrong...

Who cares what flag gets burned or not. It's just a piece of cloth no matter what colors are printed on it.

yea guys quit hating on the mexicans. I live in south texas I know mexicans. Mostly they are good people. Alot better than most of the white deuchebags in Texas.
Also who cares either way if you can fly a flag. ITs a fucking peice of cloth it doesnt change who you are or where you put your allegiance. I admit its kind of shitty that a school banned its own nations flag, but its a free country whatever floats their boat I guess.
people let things bother them entirely too much.

Don't you love the irony? A lot of Lefties look down upon the inclination of patriotic people to use a symbol in order to rally around something, yet they have their own symbols and they readily support the destruction of other symbols that represent things that they happen to not agree with.

I don't look down upon people rallying around a symbol. But what's so bad about destroying symbols? I mean, I'm not a flag burner because I still support the American government (even though I hate its guts 95% of the time), and besides I find flag burning kind of tasteless.
But is it wrong to otherwise destroy symbols? If you saw a KKK poster on your street would you tear it down, or would it be more productive to post an anti-KKK poster next to it? What about the famous footage of American troops blowing up the 50-foot swastika at Nuremberg? Was that a mistake?
I'm interested to hear responses.

Tearing down the Klan poster, destroying the Nazi symbol, or burning a flag accomplish nothing except showing ignorance, hate, and close-mindedness. Tasteless acts, but each individual has the right to act a fool
