Re: 13 Year Old Asked To Remove Flag At School

Bottom line:

There is absolutely no valid reason to ask this boy to remove the flag from his bike. In our country, we should be free to fly our flag, wear patriotic colors, or make patriotic statements. Especially on days when patriotism is expected like Veteran's Day.

What pisses me off is the free money floating around. If a person qualifies to have the taxes that he/she paid for the year to be returned, then give the person what they paid in taxes... do NOT give them money that they did not pay in to the system because they have x ammount of kids, own a house, etc. I worked with a woman who made as much as I did. She paid less in taxes because of her dependants. She received six times as much in her tax return than what she paid into the system.
Yes. My mom's grand dad was a Mexican. He was not Hispanic. He was German.
We find discrimination in Mexico Is many times worse between the actual European Spanish and the native American Mexicans.

We can honor the veterans of the battle of San Jacinto.
The patriotic boy should be safe every day.
