See, I hardly know what to make of crap like this. Ya know, ya read the thing and you know there has to be more. From Fox40 in Sacramento;
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 asked 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.
So you go looking for more information;
“(The) First Amendment is important,” [Denair Unified School District Superintendent Edward] Parraz said. “We want the kids to respect it, understand it, and with that comes a responsibility.”
Parraz said racial tensions boiled over at the school this year around the Cinco de Mayo holiday.
“Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they’ll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don’t really want,” Parraz said. “We want them to appreciate the cultures.”
Apparently, the kid says he flies the flag on his bicycle to honor veterans – what does that have to do with Mexican kids (who by the way are in a school funded by American taxpayers)? And so what if they do fly their Mexican flags? How is that “racial tension”? Since when is Mexican a race?
The schools have brought this shit on themselves focusing on shit that doesn’t matter like race and sex and whatever else you have that we can fight over. If we’re all going to an American public school, we all have a shared American experience. What’s wrong with point that out?
The world has gone nucking futs.
