More Banning of Eeeeevil Flags

It looks like the San Diego area schools do not have a monopoly on banning patriotic clothing. Now Shaw Heights Middle School, in Colorado, is getting in on the act.

"When you're running a school, your first concern is always going to be on the safety of the students and keeping the focus on learning."
Principal Myla Shepherd.


I didn't know flags were dangerous contraband.

"The Mexican flag, the U.S. flag, were no longer representing pride in where we're from ... but started to be used as symbols of negativity and racism," she said.


I learned, back in my publik skuul days, that the American flag represented evil and racism and every wrong "ism" known to mankind - oops, humankind... sorry, I was staring at my American flag proudly waving outside my window before writing this sentence. As I was saying, the libs have been teaching "the evil American flag" garbage for decades. Since when did it recently become an issue of "negativity and racism?"
