Here's what NCN said:

We used to say the pledge to the American flag, the Christian flag and the Bible every day at vacation Bible school. I cannot imagine what you could find wrong in doing that but God gives us all a choice as to how we live our lives. It is not my place to try and take that choice away from anyone.

Sorry, but the second sentence is dependent on the first in that it references it. So you are wrong a second time.

Not a concern of mine.

But what is more important or of interest to me is that if it were Trump supporters banning the flag the Democrats and liberals would be acting melodramatic and pretending to be super patriots. News reporters would be asking why they are trying to "hurt" our soldiers?

The Republican leaders would come out and join the Democrats berating Donald Trump.

Then we would have to hear about how he's working for Russia. All because a few teenage Trump supporters and a school official didn't want the American flag at a teenage football game.

But since these aren't Trump supporters I guess Russia isn't behind it. LOL.

Then one would have to assume that the poster is too stupid to understand that the thread is not about what happens in bible school, and that her anecdote is directly related to the subject of the thread. There is nothing in the OP about bible school, and no other reference to it in any other post. It's either a general statement, or she is totally off-topic. She and I have our differences, but I'm not willing to assume that she's that stupid. Are you?

This is just another BS excuse to weaken American patriotism.
Oh come on. It's about a sports game at 1 school where inappropriate behavior was taking place.

Look Ace, I'm just pointing out your error in logic and reading comprehension. I'm not assuming anything.

The flag is dangerous. It reminds some people of what it was like when we had a country you could be proud of.

THIS! ^^^

What exactly did the students do to "taunt" the opposing team with the American flag? Does anyone know? Has that actually come out in any report?

Did they wave it with too much vigor? Too much pride?

The opposing team, though Hispanic, is American. Why would they take issue with their American flag? Has any of them spoken out against "flag abuse"?

IMHO this is just another example of school administrators bending over backwards to protect people who don't need or want their lily-white protection. It's nothing but another form of racism and white superiority.

This is happening in one of the most Republican-dominated areas of South Carolina.

And Trump did win Greenville County in the recent GOP primaries.
