Oh, I dunno, speculating on my pugilistic prowess or my willingness to speak my mind in person from the saftey of the interwebz reeks of Irony..... :ssst:

Yes now showing pride in this country = hatred. Gotcha. The only people who were showing hatred were the little Mexican kids showing their hatred of this country.

Thats just it....I doubt highly that the motivation for wearing the shirts was patriotic and to "show pride" in the USA. THAT is where you are not being honest here.
 
Race identity is a penitentiary mind-set. Doesn't that tell us anything? The Pen is certainly the lowest common denominator of our population. Will these students go on to be great world leaders, or inmates?

Sending them home was proof positive that the American flag has a lower status than the Mexican flag in this school.

i call bull****. sending them home was punishment for their attempt to cause trouble, period.

Ironic, since it is a soldier's job to obey the president (thus the government) and they receive their money from the government (socialism) and conservatives are supposed to hate the government.

Why is that?

A better question might be why are so many liberals so lazy and scared to protect the country. I know it's easier for them to just collect their welfare check and SNAP card (or on the opposite end living off their daddy's inheritance) without having to make any sacrifice, but really...

Figured the other guy was over the top, I may as well be too. BTW, factually, it's fairly acurate. a plurality of welfare recipients and "old money" vote democrat.

Seriously! Well said.

I don't get these people who think that just because you're waving an American Flag, you're motives are pure and beyond reproach.

Bigots love waving the American flag and quoting the bible.

Jall:

My point from post 1 in this thread is I don't know what these kids are. There's not enough info. I hardly think it's as clear-cut as some Principal decided to throw his entire educational career away and, for no good reason, sent these boys home.

Waving an American flag doesn't make you pure. Anyone with a working arm can do it. It's the context that matters.

The Westboro people have flags. If they were outside your wedding waving them, you'd want them sent away...

fair enough?

Thank you SOOOOO much for illustrating my point.

Since you obviously don't know me you don't know that I come from a family of a grandfather, father, and four uncles who are all military - and were all Democrats from birth to death.

So, you only prove that either you weren't in a military family and are just making crap up... OR, you prove that you were somehow involved but paid no attention to the world around you to know that people of varying political stripes are involved in the military.

Either way, I don't believe you have any credibility anymore when it comes to discussing such issues; since it seems all you can do is claim obvious stereotypes when it comes to those who defend our nation.
 
And I would like to note that no one has expressed any anger over a teacher being suspended and a school paper being eliminated because it asked for tolerance for all students including gays.

Seems the anger over high school students' First Amendments rights ends at your own front door.

You started out with some very silly commentary, and I continued in the vein. I assumed you were attempting to be funny. Based on your response I guess you were being serious? Wow! Here, i'll validate your ramblings. Yes, it's quite ironic that conservatives join the military even though they are not in favor of a big overreaching government. Feel better now?

Anyway, it seems you are confused. The fact that military members trend conservative, doesn't mean that there aren't any liberals in the military.

Your ilk, who call people who disagree with them racists, your ilk who are such partisan hacks that you would side with any liberal no matter what.


Your ilk, who gloss over the fact that two of the boys in question were half latino, your ilk, who think the American flag, on a fake mexican holiday can ba construed as offensive.


Yes, sir, your ilk.

You might as well ask us to believe in the tooth fairy as well if you want us to swallow that. Blue dog Democrats I would but but those aren't modern Democrats. Democrats of today are far more critical on the military and its a proven fact from money allocation to hateful comments. ie Durbin with his nazi comment. Murtha with his condemnation of marines who were found innocent or Kerry for his if you are uneducated you go into the service.

Talk about your classic non sequitur...if the thread were about that, then you hear a mouthful from me on the topic. However, that's not what THIS thread is about.

Point me to the thread that discusses your issue and find out what I think about that.
 
Maybe the administrator was just trying to enforce United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 Section 8 (d), which states that flags must never be worn as apparel?

What’s wrong with teaching kids to show proper respect for the flag?
