A non-story. Guess some folks just want to get their blood pressure up. Be my guest.

I would have burned it on the spot.

No other nations flag should fly over this nation, ever. Not Below and especially not above the Stars & Stripes of `ol Glory.

Time to reassess what our priorities are as a nation.

The kids are the losers. Another lefty attempt at being "all inclusive" and "welcoming of other nationalities". Hell, the fact that they're even here should be enough to let the foreign kids know they're welcome. What's the need to fly their national flag of origin above the USA flag.

For those who didn't bother to click through to the local account of the event.

The American flag isn't normally positioned next the the Saudi flag. The American flag is positioned higher than the other flags and in a more prominent location. No one apparently knows who moved the flag, but it was not an official action of the school.

American flag lowered in presence of Saudi Arabian flag at Ft. Collins public school | Greeley Gazette

The principal of a Ft. Collins school has said a picture of the American flag lowered in the presence of the Saudi Arabian flag, was not done by his staff and that he promptly resolved the issue once he was made aware of it.
...
Bauder Principal, Brian Carpenter, told the Gazette the American flag is not normally in that location and someone had moved it next to the Saudi Arabian flag. He went on to say that the American flag has always been in a prominent position above the other international flags at the school.
...
Carpenter said the school has approximately 20 other flags besides the U.S. flag throughout the building. While the American flag is able to be seen by visitors entering the school, the Saudi Arabian flag is located in another pod where only someone who knew the inside of the school would see it.
