Denair, CA: Teaching anti-Patriotism in Public Schools
by David Yeagley · November 12, 2010 · 19 Comments · ShareThis

California’s Denair Middle School is teaching the new anti-patriotism in school. The American flag, the national emblem of the United States, is not allowed on the grounds.


Cody Alicea, proudly waving his American
flag, but no longer. Denair Middle School
ordered him to put it away.

Cody Alicea, a young 13-year-old, was proudly touting Old Glory on his bicycle, when Denair Middle School superintendent Edward Parraz ordered Cody not to display the flag. Cody was required to remove the flag.

It was all about the Mexican issue, Parraz said. Parraz referred to the terrible racial tensions which surfaced this year at the Cinco de Mayo celebration. Mexican (hispanic) students all brought their national Mexican flags, and so on. (Here’s a KCRA-TV video, not allowed to be transferred.) And here’s a Fox40 video:

However, Cody had waved his flag for two months, without incident, until Veteran’s Day.

Superintendent Parraz’ reference to racial problems last May (Cinco de Mayo) is not readily varified on internet sources, presently. Whatever the problems were, they don’t account for the sudden Mexican student “offenseâ€

The comments for this article are a good read. There is a lot of history there.

I really admire Dr. Yeagly. In another post he was saying the people and country in South Asia we currently call "India" and "Indians" should be called "Hindi" and "Hindis", for one reason the language they speak is called Hindi, and that is their historic traditional name before Europeans showed up and changed it.

He thinks only the people who lived on this Continent for 10,000 years should be called Indians.

no way In hell kid you keep that Flag On your Bike this is American Not Mexico no school should tell any one Not to fly the flag you don't like it move the Hell Out this is Our country you go Kid we are all on your side

Parraz says the school decided on Friday to allow Cody to display his flag again, and now it will be shifting its focus to the students who complained.

"In no way did we want to take that right away from Cody," Parraz told Fox40 on Friday. "…We think we know who the instigators are that were trying to do that and we need to meet with their parents and those students to just kind of explain that this isn't what we want to have. We want to make sure that our kids can appreciate a safe environment and be able to have the American flag."

THAT'S what should have happened in the first place!! Call the kids and
parents down that are complaining and let them know thay have no
business telling ANYONE they can't fly an American flag in this country. If
they find it offensive maybe they should go to another country.

That Principal is a spineless moron.
