With no policy in place, I find it offensive too.

I served on a school board and parents would jump to conclusions without facts. Are there Latino gangs at the school and the fear was that on that particular day wearing the American flag might cause harm to the kids?

In absence of a policy would you have a problem sending your teenage kid to school where there is a high percentage of black students wearing a t-shirt with the rebel flag on Martin Luther King Day? You answer may well be he&& no but the administration may fear harm to your kid and ban it.

I am not trying to compare the two flags but mealy the reaction by the administration to a fear, real or imagined, that may have caused them to take the offensive action they did.

We are living at weird time and what occurred was not a liberal reaction to the flag. While it is an easy fallback to suggest, it demeans the conservative movement.

I voted for change, I am proud of it, AND I love the American flag and all that it stands for.
