DENAIR -
13-year-old Cody Alicea rides with an American flag on the back of his bike. He says he does this to be patriotic and to honor veterans, like his own grandfather, Robert. He's had the flag on his bike for two months but Monday, was told to take it down.
A school official at Denair Middle School told Cody some students had been complaining about the flag and it was no longer allowed on school property.
"In this country we're supposed to be free," said Cody. "And I should be able to wave my flag wherever I want to. And they're telling me I can't."
Cody's grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag. He feels if there was really a problem it should have been brought up two months ago, not during Veterans week.
"No action should be taken. We don't want any repercussion," said Roger. "We just want Cody to be proud of what he's doing."

Are people like this born stupid, or that something they learn by being a a school administrator? I think its the latter.
Step 1, Drink so much Kool Aide of God knows what flavor, that the American (not Confederate, or Nazi, or Islamic etc) flag is controversial.
Step 2 Become so arrogant you think you can snap your fingers and folks will obey without a peep
Step 3, Become so used to getting your way that you fail to think about the million pound Sh-t hammer thats about to hit you, because in your world, that never happens. ::)

Listening to the administrator it sounds like the "campus supervisor" made a bad decision and it is being explained away as an issue with "Cody's safety". It's easier to deny someone their rights than to deal with a privileged minority group that is allowed to practice intimidation. "Cinco de Mayo" came up...go figure... the illegals objected to the american flag? There's a simple solution to that...

Hey Haz! Would you be interested in a joint venture export business? ;)

Export is a bad term. It dehumanizes them. Try "A free travel service. Employers go first class (in baggage)". ;D

I wonder if they would infringe on his right to free speech if bought the flag to school each day on his bike in order to burn it at the end of the day on school property?

Humans don't commit the kind of heinous crimes that many in the illegal population are guilty of.

Don't read the papers much ?
It was an Italian guy who hung his wife's guts on a stake in the front yard, because she burned the spaghetti.
Granted you have to be a super crappy cook to f*ck up spaghetti, but that is just a little extreme.

Exactly my point. It's the ones like this animal that ease my burden of dehumanizing them.
Also, I would never be so insensitive to discriminate. If you're here illegally, GET IN THE TRUCK!

How can a MINORITY of the offended, manage to shut down the MAJORITY!!!
Oh wait, this happened in Kalifornia.

Keep in mind that I have not grown a whole lot since I was 13 years old so my reply might not apply to all ...
You don't like it??? Why don't you just try and take it!!!
Spending those years in the southern part of the land of fruits and nuts I was faced with a few odd situations. However, I learned a lesson that Walt Rauch is fond of pointing out - Don't walk around like sheep! Be grissle! I didn't know it, but my size at an early age made me appear to be the one in the crowd they didn't want to mess with.

Because a majority isn't a majority until it gets organized. Until it does, its just a bunch of guys milling around and bitching. The only majority that matters is "The largest number of political actors organized, united and moving towards a common agenda". The rest can pound sand as far as public oficials are concerned. Unless and until we organize, we aren't a majority, just bystanders. Here endeth the lesson. :-\

UPDATE:
THE FLAG CAN STAY. Seems the majority got organized, and the masses got pissed.
School Responds: Boy Forced to Remove Flag for His Own ‘Safety,’ Can Fly it Again
School officials in Denair, CA have responded to the controversy surrounding a boy forced to remove an American flag from his bike on school grounds due to “racial tensions.” The school’s superintendent is now saying that the boy was told to remove the flag out of concerns for his safety, and that the school will allow him to resume his flag flying:

Gee, Thank you very much you libtard, asshat academic schmuck. Geez, I weep, and keep getting pissed at my own country.
However, thankfully, the more we expose these stupid "issues" the more we get the entrenched idiots to see the light.
Your in what's left of the United States Of America.....If you are "offended" go back to where you came from, or DEAL WITH IT!

Must be an as yet unrecognized property of light...perhaps some type of photon interaction?
Amazing how a spotlight can raise the IQ of a bureaucrat by 20+ points/

Did you see the news today ? He got escorted to school by hundreds of Harleys, ALL with flags!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

OHHH RAAA!!
PATRIOTS STAND UP!

Nice. There are more sane voices than shrieking crazy voices...we should raise them more often.
-
I hope someone has registered Cody as a Patriot Guard Member!
He did more in this one act than many of us do in years.

"The Flag WILL STAY THERE, and I'll fly it everyday!!!!"
Sounds like a young man, with his head on straight, wants to join the Air Force, God Bless Him, AND his family.
They done good.
I wonder where the libtard asshat that told him to remove it was when the Harley's came Marching In? ;D
This is AMERICA!!!!! COMPRENDE???

Why can't we find politicians with that kind of patriotism, common sense, moral compass and balls?

They have the common sense to stay out of the snake pit that is politics.
