School Makes Boy Take American Flag Off Bike - KTXL

Since when did the screwed up wishes of a few malcontents supercede the wishes of a nation of citizens who are proud of their country, their flag and all that it represents?

DENAIR, California -

A Stanislaus County school is forcing a student to take an American flag off of his bike.

Thirteen-year-old Cody Alicea put the flag there as a show of support for the veterans in his family.

But officials at Denair Middle School told him he couldn't fly it. He said he was told some students had complained.

Typical California politics at play for you.

This type of behavior is un-American.

I'd show em the finger & say to hell with all illegals I'll fly my flag if I want to its a free country.

Such a brief story and even that on Fox, I wonder if that boy even exists

Anyway, provided it is true, I think it would be wrong, especially on a holiday, especially for race reasons.

I hate to tell you this, but just because a student is Hispanic or has an Hispanic name does NOT automatically make him an immigrant.

And, that's especially true in California which has a huge number of native-born citizens with Hispanic family names. Millions of them, in fact.

Your thread title is misleading and inflammatory.

I am made suspicious by the lack of details.
Looking at the picture, though, as a parent, I wouldn't permit my child to ride around with that particular flag attached to his or her bicycle. That thing could put someone's eye out.

What a surprise. Becauase FOX reports it is must not true. Maybe you should ask, why does the other so-called media non report it?

Misleading? So you're telling us that even 2nd and 3rd generation U.S. citizens are "offended" when they see an American flag as opposed to a Mexican one? Thanks for clearing that up for us.

Inflammatory? To be honest, I can't imagine how one could not be completely incensed by these kinds of stories going on in America today.
