FLAG BRAZENLY WAVED, BANNED

The waving of foreign flags the other day at the pro-illegal immigration rallies wasn't much appreciated by many Americans. The flag waving prompting a Colorado high school to ban the display of all flags:
Dozens of high school students protested a temporary school policy forbidding students from displaying the U.S. flag - as well as flags from other countries - amid racial tensions following immigration rallies.

Skyline High School Principal Tom Stumpf said American flags were brazenly waved in the faces of Hispanic students and in one case a Mexican flag was thrown into the face of another student.

"When it involves the American flag and its abuse in vilifying other people, we simply will not tolerate it," Stumpf said. "They were using the symbol derisively as misguided patriotism."

Students were warned about the policy Friday and several were suspended, although Stumpf would not provide details.
I'm certainly glad that Mexican flag wasn't aflame.
