Flag Waving Banned at Colorado School

LONGMONT, Colo. - Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag - as well as flags from other countries - amid racial tensions following immigration rallies.

Skyline High School Principal Tom Stumpf said American flags were brazenly waved in the faces of Hispanic students and in one case a Mexican flag was thrown into the face of another student.

"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."

Students were warned about the policy Friday and several were suspended, although Stumpf would not provide details. Then, about 100 students protested during lunch time.

Student Dustin Carlson told Denver station KCNC-TV that he was suspended for two days.

"I'm getting suspended for it and personally I think that's uncalled for," he said. "If this country means freedom, then why can't we fly our own flag? It's ridiculous."

Thousands of high school students Friday in California, Texas, Nevada and other states protested the tough immigration laws proposed in the House. Some waved Mexican flags and carried signs saying "We are not criminals."

On Monday, about 150 high school students, including some from Skyline, protested in Longmont.

"People are taking it to a whole other level," said Laura Avitia. "I don't think they know why we were protesting."

News flash for the dipwad principal... The American flag is a symbol of freedom, not intimidation and racism.

Display of any flag is the rule he's made, but the rule is not being enforced equally according to some of the students interviewed. The kids with American flags are being penalized, but the others are not. Every time I see this bullshit, PC, can't offend crap, it only reinforces my absolute disdain for the left/liberal Bastages in this country. I equate all of them to the Islamofascists, and I think they deserve the same treatment.

Here is the personal address for the school's dickhead principal...
