This is absolutely ridiculous.

This is from a Sacramento affiliate which means this school is somewhere near Sacramento.

I am disgusted!

cody's grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag. He feels if there was really a problem it should have been brought up two months ago, not during veterans week.

Since when is flying the American flag equated with racism?

What the hell kind of crap are they trying to pull?

The school was correct in doing this.

Cody is 13 years old, and so should be able to tell which country he's in without a prop.

Time to take off the training wheels.

Actually, I'm kidding.

It is really . . . time to take off the gloves.
