Destructo Report post Posted November 12, 2010 http://www.fox40.com/ktxl-americanflagbike...78528.htmlstory Like the Grandfather says, of all the times to bring it up. What a shame. School Makes Boy Take American Flag Off Bike Elissa Harrington FOX40 News November 12, 2010 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 asked 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." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assman Report post Posted November 12, 2010 I really don't understand why non-American people should be offended by the American flag in America. EVEN if someone is trying to use it to bother people, the people should not let it bother them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurboGallardo Report post Posted November 12, 2010 Utter bullshit. What about freedom of expression? Besides, it's not like he is flying a nazi flag or confederate flag, it is the flag of our country. I would fight this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Report post Posted November 12, 2010 It just dawned on me how privileged I was when for one week I was responsible for putting the flag up and down the flag pole in the front of our school. We learned how to fold the flag, etc. This was in my younger years (6th grade I think) but it gave me great pride to be an American at that time all the children wanted the oppty to do the same. How times have changed!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
