Thread: COLORADO HIGH SCHOOL TO STUDENT: REMOVE OFFENSIVE US FLAG

In the end, it was the rent-a-cop and by proxy the school that caused the disruption. Perhaps they also should learn not to be so hasty in their un-American actions.

September 7, 2010

Dear Students, Parents, Staff and Community Members,

On Friday, September 3, 2010 it was brought to my attention that a staff member advised
a student to remove two American Flags from his truck. It was wrong for a staff member
to advise a student to take down his American flags. That staff member made an error in
judgment.

Students have the right to display the United States flag on their own person and on their
personal property, so long as the display of American flags doesn’t directly contribute to
an unsafe behavior or a disruption to the learning environment.

Northglenn High School's work in education is human-intensive. We’re dealing with
hundreds of students and staff members, and on occasion, mistakes will be made. In this
particular situation, a mistake was made and we’re sorry for that error. I have talked with
both the student involved and the parents to apologize for this mistake. I have assured
them that I will make sure staff is aware of student rights, and that our students are aware
of the responsibilities that come with those rights. I know our community, and I’m
confident that over time, what we’ve learned from this experience will make our school
community even stronger.

To sum it all up: Northglenn High School was wrong in advising a student to remove the
American flags from his truck. We apologize for this error and we will work to correct
this situation with our staff. Anyone can fly their American flag, so long as it's safe and
doesn't disrupt the learning environment. We'll handle personnel matters as we always
do, in line with Superintendent policy.

Sincerely,


Dr. Mary B. Lindimore, Principal

I'm surprised they caved that easily

Usually they fall back on this to promote their Un American agenda

"so long as the display of American flags doesn’t directly contribute to an unsafe behavior or a disruption to the learning environment"

A very gray area indeed. An American flag displayed on cinco de mayo seems to fall into this area.

There is a person running for Governor of Colorado , if elected I'm sure this kind of garbage would be taken care of and the idiots fired , clear up to the idiot principal who allowed this to happen.

Its time to end this PC garbage in this country

Diversity sucks , take your cultures back to your own countries or practice them in private,

==================================

They got caught red-handed.

Imagine the political correctness that runs through the halls of these type of liberally-controlled institutions that now permeate the mindset of American Education.

FWIW, the two largest enablers of illegal immigration in the United States are #1 Organized Religion and #2 Public Education.

A tribute to American Veterans ...

You dont like the nations flag, then LEAVE the nation.

I agree totally.

Its getting more and more ridiculous.

Someone should check the immigration papers of the "Rent-A-Cop".
