Country:  | Another American Disgrace - High School Bans American Flag
SAMPSON COUNTY, N.C. – On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, students at one high school were not allowed to wear clothes with an American Flag.
Under a new school rule, students at Hobbton High School are not allowed to wear items with flags, from any country, including the United States.
The new rule stems from a controversy over students wearing shirts bearing flags of other countries.
Gayle Langston said her daughter, Jessica, was told to remove her stars and stripes t-shirt.
“Today she wanted to wear her shirt, and I had to tell her no,” said Langston. “She didn't like it at all because I knew it would get her in trouble. Of all days, 9/11, she could not wear her American Flag shirt.” The superintendent of schools in Sampson County calls the situation unfortunate, but says educators didn’t want to be forced to pick and choose which flags should be permissible.
The left-wing, liberal, secular progressive, ACLU card carrying a**holes have got to be confronted and countered wherever they raise their ugly heads.  THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!!!

Country: | This is getting way past nutty. A nation without an identity (and one it can be proud of) is not a nation at all. Sooner or later, it will break down into various groups wanting something at the expense of others.
Just nutz. | |

Country: | If that ever happened in my school district, they would have many patriots at the school board demanding that be lifted most pronto. There are a ton of vets in my neighborhood and we would never stand for that kind of crap.

Country: | OK. That is atrocious! Also in the extent that the ENTIRE school district is ALLOWING that?!! Give me a break. DO they not teach History in the school because it doesn't encompass EVERY countrys history?? What flag is hanging outside (or should be)?

Country:  | If I'm not allowed to wear clothes with my flag, as in this case the American, doesn't that go against freedom of speach in some way???
I'd recommend this for these as literature for further studies...as some people seem to have forgot them. 
United States Constitution. 
The Bill of Rights. 
Declaration of Independence.

There's a culture war going on in America and good traditional Americans need to be involved. Looks like this battle was won by the good guys.

Country: | That's good.
Look, they should allow the American Flag, even if they feel then obligated to allow an Osama Bin Laden flag or something.
