He's only trying to prevent a war from breaking out between Mexico and the U.S.

It's a safety issue, like he said.

A bicycle flag makes the bicycle more visible, possibly even to drivers on cell phones.

The American flag reflects more colors of the light spectrum than, say, the NAZI flag.

Have they started producing the NAU flag yet ?
Maybe folks should start flying that instead of Old Glory..especially since it's racially offensive to some who live here.

This left wing crazy stuff has to end.

The only reason this happened is because the PC left wing anti Americans do not want to hurt the feelings of Hispanics or Muslims.

What we need is to ban all foreign flags, no more of them flying in America.

This is America and we need to fly our flag and our flag only.

This needs to stop before the left wingers take away our rights to fly the American flag in our own country.

In years past the only place I'd see a foreign flag flown were in a few select places...

1. A hotel with a visiting foreign dignitary.

2. A consulate or embassy.

3. The International House of Pancakes.

I want to know since when did flying the American flag in the United States become a symbol of RACISM and oppression?

Since when do the KIDS DICTATE to ADULTS what the RULES ARE?!?!

THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW!

What truly saddens me is to see a Mexican Flag flying OVER the US Flag
And no one doing anything about it.

I've seen that here in Texas and also seen plenty of pictures of it during Hispanic protest marches.

The kids that complained should be named. See, I don't think "kids" complained at all. A-Holes.

The school has the right to ban flags but they have to ban all flags which is probably why they ban the American flag. If children are allowed to wear the American flag then the school must also allow the Mexican flag, the Iran flag, the Israel flag, the Jamaican flag and all sorts of flags. It is really best just to say no flags.
