Greg Stoneburner, a senior who just graduated from Central High School in Grand Junction, Colo., said he was told in no uncertain terms that he was no longer welcome at the school after raising a Gadsden flag on the school's flagpole. Moreover, he told Examiner.com in an exclusive interview Friday, the principal withheld his flag and his diploma until after his graduation walk.
The incident, he said on Facebook, took place on May 9. That's when he replaced the school's flag with the yellow "Don't Tread On Me" banner often associated with the Tea Party as a senior prank. He also posted a paper to the pole that told the history of the flag.

Maybe after he gets his 'papers', he can pay that 'educator' a visit. If only to show him why he should have made the baseball team.
ReplyDeleteBut Latino kids in Ca. can invert the U.S. flag and raise the Mexican flag with no penalty?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...

Typical Liberal Logic.
DeleteSame goes for the rainbow flag. That can be flown with "pride". (yes, I am being sarcastic).
ReplyDeleteGreg, here is a trip for you; if you are going to get your ass into trouble then make it worth your while and do it on the grandest scale possible. What you ought to have done is raise both the Gadsden AND the Confederate stars and stripes. And one other thing; Never, never, never never back down or aplogize.
Same goes for the rainbow flag.
DeleteI bet.
