School Makes Boy Take American Flag Off Bike - KTXL

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 Alicea. "We just want Cody to be proud of what he's doing."

This is the pusification of America man. one day the whole damn country will be so pussy it will fall.

We had to say the pledge of allegiance every morning in elementary school! We had flags in our classrooms! We had a flag on a pole in front of the school! Could this be the reason I don't shake babies, go on shooting rampages at the local college, or put cyanide laced Tylenol capsules on store shelves?

I should file suit against the government for brainwashing me!
That damn flag has ruined any chance I had at fitting in!

Oops gotta go, time to sodomize the neighbors dog then light it on fire.

wow. really? I woulda smacked that school guy one.

 

[darederek]

i would tell the principal to f**k off. people give up against authority too easy anymore. if whatever you are getting in trouble for is wrong then you need to speak your mind. everyone is turing into a bunch of quiet keep-to-themself pussies and it needs to stop.

I pledge allegiance

for which it stands
one nation under God
indivisible
with liberty
and justice
for all.

 

[sheeblast]

original form
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

changed in 23
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


then in 54
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."


Section 4 of the Flag Code states:

The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."

This country caters to the minorities and the people who biotch the most, which are usually the Liberals. Where did this happen? I'm guessing Kalifornia.
