Breitbart–you’re kidding right? what is the problem? A+? libtards? I have seen MUCH worse on here. At least have some consistency. Shhhheeessshhhh.
The ILLEGALS get it from their dear leader obaMAO. After all obaMAO HAS said he wants to change the United States flag because it “represents violence”, he wants to change it to that pepsicola sign.
Bravo, young man.
GOOD FOR HIM! We need more Patriots to teach the teachers how to respect flag etiquette and teach them basic patriotism for our Country…not Mexico’s.
YaYYY! A true Texan! A True American!
A FUTURE AMERICAN LEADER AND FAMILY!
God Bless You son!!!
if only nost people had the balls you have.
Schools need to teach kids the US flag is supposed to be displayed higher than other flags. At least in the US.
My son’s high school won’t let them put up ANYTHING on the walls without administrative approval. Someone hung up this Mexican flag. Was it approved? if not, the young man should not be suspended, and was doing the schools work for them. If so, SHAME ON THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS!
Let the principal know what you think about the hanging of the Mexican flag at a U.S. high school. Here is his email: rkirk@kleinisd.net
These white people are racists. We should have the Mexican Flag everywhere! Just look what Mexico has given the USA……
Drugs
Illegal Immigrants
Murder on our borders
Gangs that have dirtied America the Beautiful
Cheech and Chong
Big hats and naps all day instead of working
These Mexican bullies need to be taught a lesson. It should be against the law to fly any nation’s flag in this country but our own. And what is with this Cinco de mayo, which has nothing to do with the United States? If they are so hot to celebrate it, they should go back to their own miserable country to celebrate and not try to change this country to Mexico-North.
Meet their in the street protests with larger protests of our own. As long as these rabble are allowed to get away with terrorizing us, they’ll continue to do it.
i hate mexicans now,.
the are just as violent as muslims.
both groups are terrorists.
we need to rid America of the mexican menace, and the muslim menace, and we need to make a group effort ad do it NOW!
terrorists OUT of USA
On February 24, 1836, during Santa Anna’s siege of the Alamo, Travis wrote a letter addressed to the people of Texas and all Americans in the World
Fellow citizens and compatriots;
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna. I have sustained a continual Bombardment and cannonade for 24 hours and have not lost a man. The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken. I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, and our flag still waves proudly from the walls. I shall never surrender or retreat. Then,I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch. The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily and will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country. Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis
Lt. Col. Comdt.
P.S. The Lord is on our side. When the enemy appeared in sight we had not three bushels of corn. We have since found in deserted houses 80 or 90 bushels and got into the walls 20 or 30 head of Beeves.
Travis
” i like the mexicans. we need the mexicans. If we didn’t have mexicans, we wouldn’t have filth. “…. Don Rickles 1966
GOD BLESS THE USA and never let another flag fly higher than ours. This schools administration should be ASHAMED and EMBARASSED!!
Wake up, America. Your MULTICULT nightmare is only getting worse. Quit buying into the media preachers and use some common-sense.
Quote from a website: “Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, and is a symbol of Mexican pride, unity and patriotism.”
So the Mexicans beat the French. But everyone beats the French. I mean, like I could beat the French if they attacked me. I mean, if that is your most major holiday…
(Okay, so the French helped us win the revolutionary war against the British… I think we paid them back enough in WWI and II. 
Regardless, the Mexican flag should never be allowed to fly in our schools. And what pride could the Mexicans have nowadays anyway? Their nation is impoverished, it’s on lockdown and it’s citizens are fleeing to the USA. Sounds like a real source of pride to me.
nicely done!!!!!!!!!!!!
diversity crap at work – killing the American way
Only the flag of Texas can be flown at equal height to the US flag, but no flag can be flown higher than the US flag.
I can understand the frustration of some commenters here with the failure of the national government to enforce the immigration laws. However, it’s not necessary to descend into hate and racism in order to express a desire to defend our country from what amounts to a creeping invasion.
I like Mexican food, Mexican music and Mexican people — most of them anyway, not the gang members — but that doesn’t mean that Mexicans who come here illegally deserve the rights that every other country in the world reserves only for its citizens.
To say that Mexicans are filthy or lazy is simply not accurate. Most of them I have encountered work VERY hard; certainly much harder than the typical native-born American. “Work like a Mexican” is a compliment. And if they were “filthy,” why do so many Americans employ Mexicans to clean their houses and tend their gardens? Racist hate speech directed at Mexicans merely feeds into the leftist agenda. Indeed, I suspect that some of the racism expressed here is supplied by leftists who are trying to discredit the opposition to immigration enforcement.
Well done, young man.
Mine the border and shoot the ones that get through! Deport ALL illegals.
Latinos, Progressives, Obama and MSM seem to have declared war on the rest of us. They are only 22 percent of the total population of our country. We need to be peaceful in a way that offers nothing for them to use to their advantage. We do need to get in their face peacefully. We do need to quit supporting them with our tax dollars(lots of exemptions), we do need to quit hiring latinos and quit buying products and services from those that do. We need to let companies know that others have declared war on us and we won’t put up with it anymore. Vote with your checkbook and your credit cards. Long live non-violent resistance to change we don’t want or need. Long live the Texas student who stood up for the United States flag.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
No where in this pledge does it mention Mexico or the Mexican flag. Anyone who feels the need to honor the flag another country in the US needs to move!
That young man deserves a medal of honor for defending our flag and what it represents!
Thanks Obama, for igniting a race war and violence in the USA by calling in your weekly address for blacks and Hispanics to get out and show their hate and intolerance for our laws, for Caucasians and for our culture.
.
The school says they “sanctioned” the flag? Sounds to me like the school officials are sympathetic to whoever hung the flag, and are protecting them by saying they “sanction” it after the fact. Rhetorical question: would they have “sanctioned” a student hanging an American flag from a balcony? I doubt it.
A “few choice students”? Notice how she doesn’t feel free to say that it’s _Latino_ students threatening to jump him and “cut” him. Even this great mom has been conditioned to avoid telling the truth, for fear of being labeled “racist”.
I feel like I woke up in Alice’s Wonderland. Our school are so corrupt. I am going to have to homeschool my kids once I have some.
Another gutless politically correct administrator; typical of what is going down in this country today. One puke after another.
You can thank the NEA and Obama for this. And complacent Americans who never bother to look into who they are voting for.
Obama lite the fire when he went along with the racist lies about the Arizona Law. Americans lite the fire when they allow PC jive to fester and groups like La Raza and other wacko Dangerous Orgs like C.A.I.R. SEIU..ACORN…AFL-CIO..The Bl@ck Caucus..the NAACP..NOW…Planned Parenthood…Crazies like those running the DNC…many in Hollywood…the Nation of Islam…Al Sharpton..Jesse Jackson…The Progressive People’s Parties…Environmentalist wackos..etc ..get away with their outrageous attacks…and lies over and over again…while we turn away and watch Football or American Idol etc.
There really IS a Marxist in the White House..The info about him really was out there before the election…The MSM really WAS lying about him and covering up for him and REALLY does still.
The Teacher’s Unions REALLY ARE indoctrinating our kids to dislike..even despise America…and God…and embrace Sinful lifestyles. This is NO joke..it is NOT paranoia.
This kids was RIGHT in what he did..That Flag did NOT belong in an American school PERIOD!!! Let alone higher than the American Flag…end of story.
The kids thrown from school who wore Tees with America Flags that were sent home should NEVER have been sent home…But Obama emboldened the Liberal Hispanics…The Media did also. Cinco Di Mayo is NOT an American Holiday.. It should NOT take precedence over any student wearing a Tee with an American Flag EVER!
Wake up Folks…You are losing your Rights..Your Country…Communists are taking over…Racists are taking over…Be strong like this kid was…Vote all Dems out in NOV…And their Lying Messiah Obama out in 2012.
Hoisting a flag has long been a declaration of ownership.
Maybe this school should seek their Federale Funding from Mexico instead of the U.S.A.
Democratic idiots don’t even realize that they are biting the hand that feeds them. In fact with all of the free breakfast, free lunch programs in the schools those pro mexican students don’t realize it either.
The more we feed the problem the more it will grow.
The Immigration Reform Protest in ATL was shocking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LHRzxgAxRo
I wan tu liv in A-me-i-ca… every -thing free in A-me-i-ca…… lots of gud dings in a-me-i-ca….
There’s no problem celebrating diversity…putting up a Mexican flag is fine, so long as the U.S. flag be above all others. This is AMERICA!
Shameful
The school administrators who allowed the Mexican Flag to be displayed in this manner should be fired and replaced with real American Patriot educators.
I agree that it’s important to avoid real racism; racist remarks don’t help anything. American citizens of Hispanic or Mexican descent (two separate groups, by the way) are not the problem. Illegal “immigrants” are the problem– and those of _whatever_ heritage who demand that we treat illegals as if they were legal.
Isn’t it great when public employees decide to “stonewall” the taxpayers who foot the bill.
Who wants to bet that one of the “teachers” (so-called) put the flag up and now wants to collect 80 dollars from the kid.
Everyone in town knows that you can buy a 15 foot Bean Picker Flag over at WalMart for less than 2 bucks. We had one once that f*rted when we ran it up the flag pole.
I’m not sure I agree with you, Vic. If a school wants to fly the American flag and its State’s flag, that’s one thing. To fly another country’s flag– unless it’s some kind of educational display about that country– ISN’T proper.
If someone wants to fly it on their private property (assuming it doesn’t fly higher than the US flag or a State flag) then that’s a different matter. But this is on taxpayer-funded property, where the law requires people to send their children and where, supposedly, they will be free from indoctrination.
But I doubt you would disagree, so maybe I’m just reading too much into your remark.
Good job kid. Take down all the Mexican flags. This is TEXAS YA’LL!!!
May 5th is just another day here in the US. We don’t have to celebrate Mexico.

7. The flag should be displayed during school days in or near every schoolhouse.
§7. Position and manner of display
The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag’s own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line.
1. The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade except from a staff, or as provided in subsection (i) of this section.
2. The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the flag is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the chassis or clamped to the right fender.
3. No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
4. The flag of the United States of America, when it is displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, should be on the right, the flag’s own right, and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag.
5. The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.
6. When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right.
7. When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
8. When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.
9. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window, the flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.
10. When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.
11. When used on a speaker’s platform, the flag, if displayed flat, should be displayed above and behind the speaker. When displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag of the United States of America should hold the position of superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the position of honor at the clergyman’s or speaker’s right as he faces the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right of the audience.
12. The flag should form a distinctive feature of the ceremony of unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never be used as the covering for the statue or monument.
13. The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff. By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at half-staff according to Presidential instructions or orders, or in accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent with law. In the event of the death of a present or former official of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the United States, or the death of a member of the Armed Forces from any State, territory, or possession who dies while serving on active duty, the Governor of that State, territory, or possession may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff, and the same authority is provided to the Mayor of the District of Columbia with respect to present or former officials of the District of Columbia and members of the Armed Forces from the District of Columbia. The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of the Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives; from the day of death until interment of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military department, a former Vice President, or the Governor of a State, territory, or possession; and on the day of death and the following day for a Member of Congress. The flag shall be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed Forces Day. As used in this subsection —
1. the term “half-staff” means the position of the flag when it is one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the staff;
2. the term “executive or military department” means any agency listed under sections 101 and 102 of title 5, United States Code; and
3. the term “Member of Congress” means a Senator, a Representative, a Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico.
14. When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground.
15. When the flag is suspended across a corridor or lobby in a building with only one main entrance, it should be suspended vertically with the union of the flag to the observer’s left upon entering. If the building has more than one main entrance, the flag should be suspended vertically near the center of the corridor or lobby with the union to the north, when entrances are to the east and west or to the east when entrances are to the north and south. If there are entrances in more than two directions, the union should be to the east.
§8. Respect for flag
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
1. The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
2. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
3. The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
4. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
5. The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
6. The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
7. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
8. The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
9. The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.
10. No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
11. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning
§9. Conduct during hoisting, lowering or passing of flag
During the ceremony of hoisting or lowering the flag or when the flag is passing in a parade or in review, all persons present in uniform should render the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces and veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute. All other persons present should face the flag and stand at attention with their right hand over the heart, or if applicable, remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Citizens of other countries present should stand at attention. All such conduct toward the flag in a moving column should be rendered at the moment the flag passes.

The Bullsh*t continues. The NEA and the libtards that run our failing school system are to blame for all of this nonsense.
I blame this on Oblahblah. Literally, it’s Obama’s fault.
the mexican or any countries flag should only fly at the u.n. period no where else in this country.
@ common sense
You appear to have lost your common sense.
I have no problem with Mexicans. I also have no problems with Americans of Mexican heritage.
What I have a problem with is people from any country who whish to come here and circumvent our laws.
For the record Cinco de Mayo is not even a real holiday celebrated in Mexico…it was made up by the Corona beer company to sell more beer…. If the Hispanics and Latinos have a problem with people displaying the American Flag on any day they can stick where the sun don’t shine and return to their own country…..
and how do our friends the french feel about us celibrating their loss to the mexicans.
As an American citizen he has the duty to respect the flag. Every time you said the pledge of allegiance you made and oath honor and uphold this country and it’s flag. The person who placed the American flag higher should be the one in trouble and should be repromanded. So who was it.
http://Www.Americanparchment.com has been on this story since it was mentioned on the 5th. And after this incident and the flag t-shirts we need to learn from these students and not be afraid to show our patriotism.
Mexican Immigration Laws, harsh:
1. No foreigner flags can be displayed
2. No foreigner shall talk badly of the Government
3. No foreigner shall receive social benefits of any kind. Food Stamps, Medical Care,
4. No foreigner shall be a burden on the taxpayer.
5. Government business shall be done in the official Language, Spanish
6. Illegal Migrants shall be hunted down like a deer and put in jail.
7. Foreigners cannot hold political office no matter how long they’ve been here.
I can go on and on…
Wake up America (- son of Mexican migrants btw )
Totally agree with Rick Dubois’ post!
I can’t believe this, it just seems so unreal. when do Americans get to be Americans without offending everyone else? This is our house, when you are a guest in my house you follow my rules, thats just common courtesy and common sense and when people are offended by that I just have to assume its because they are not courteous and have no common sense but they do have an overabundance of arrogance don’t they. What a slap in the face to have our children sent home from school for wearing a shirt with our own country’s flag on it and I don’t care if they were wearing them to get a reaction, as Americans we are forced on a daily basis to put up with all kinds of $hit from people who don’t even belong here- and who’s there to make sure we don’t get offended???? So I say wear those patriotic shirts with pride while you still have pride in your country cause I got a feeling none of us will be feeling pride for much longer- I say that with great sadness.
Verbatim text of MY email msg to the School Principle
This is AMERICA you dumb ass – NOT MEXICO!!
American citizens have NO OBLIGATION to honor a day of recognition to any other SOVEREIGN STATE!!!
How dare you abuse your position of authority to COMPEL children to HONOR a Foreign entity!!!
The display of ignorance on your part, concerning the respect for the AMERICAN FLAG and requirement it be “PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED ABOVE ANY OTHER!”
You should be teaching and encouraging NATIONAL PRIDE for the sovereignty of AMERICA to ALL STUDENTS, including those Mexican AMERICANS, whom chose to call AMERICAN home.
You are a traitor to your nation and the values American patriots hold dear! YOU should be summarily disciplined and ousted from your position!!!
I don’t see Public schools displaying the IRISH FLAG on St. Patrick’s day – I’m Irish American and I would never feel the need to COMPEL ANYONE to recognize, let alone honor the national origin of my forefathers.
How dare you!!
The ignorance and intolerance revealed in the comments on this story are truly worrisome and I can only hope do not reflect the mentality of most Americans. What are these people so afraid that they can’t allow Mexican Americans to celebrate their culture and heritage on a national holiday of their homeland. This country was founded upon principles that respect other cultures and unite people from all different lands. Everyone here (except Native Americans) is originally from somewhere else and we should
not be so insecure in our national identity that we deny anyone them right to publicly celebrate a national holiday of the country from which they came. I grew up in Texas and we celebrated Cinco De Mayo every year in school as a way to educate us about the culture and history of our neighboring country. This was never seen as a threat to our patriotism or our culture. In fact our culture is but a melting pot of many cultures. I am extremely proud to be an American. We are a free people that welcomes people from all over the world to be a part of this great nation without demanding that they lose their heritage or cultural identity. Mexicans are coming here in such massive numbers because of great injustices, lack of opportunity, violence, and the almost complete breakdown of their government. We should respect and reflect the ideas and principles of our founding fathers and welcome them here to our great land where everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are.
Ok the parent should report the threats to the FBI since this is now a federal crime and the students who are threatening the student should be automatically expelled from the school district and flagged for the entire US. I think the Principal and Vice Principal should loose their jobs, the organization that is asking the student to pay for another flag should be black flagged and investigated for possible tax evasion and possible ties with a terrorists.
Quick, kid, go after some of that Palin money! Post your name and address and the right wing bozos will send you all sorts of money for your college education. Of course you will have to learn how to read before you go but you can always fake it.
No problem here and thank you young man. End of story!
WOW!!! The hate is palpable. Guess none of you haters had ancestors come to our great country from somewhere else. Are you all decendants of the American Indian? If not, GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!!!
Thanks for the link, kolbee123! I heard this unfold on Michael Berry’s show as I was driving home from work last night & my blood boiled. Not only should the principal answer for the shameful incident, the assistant principal who handled it needs to be flat out fired! You can email Mr. Shellie Dick at sdick1@kleinisd.net & let him know how you feel. I certainly did! What an utter disgrace to our country!

Why is my post time stamped Chris May 7th, 2010 – 3:41 pm STILL AWAITING MODERATION and posts with a later time stamp posting freely?
I think I get it…….because it is Patriotic, therefore “keywords” have flagged it as possibly Hostile, or even inflamatory? Better forward it to Homeland Security!
Sue the school.
Lawsuits are the only way teach these Mexican imperialists and leftist traitors a lesson.
A true Texan!?! Ha! Gimme a break. A redneck without a cause is what he really is. You can take the flags down, you can deport all the illegals, you can try to ban the use of Spanish, but guess what: Texas will always have a strong Mexican influence, and will one day be a majority Mexican-American state. The most permanent and lasting kind of change is that which happens slowly like the erosion of rock by water.
http://www.pepsi.com they support laraza send a email tell them how you feel.
I am disgusted by all of this. Why won’t the legal immigrant residents of this country stand up and say something against this kind of garbage?
-
They have to know that the illegal immigrants in this country, and even the immigrants who refuse to assimilate to some extent, are starting fires of racism (from both sides) that are destroying this country.
-
We don’t want to be like South and Central America, full of revolution, drugs, murder and sin.
-
Stand up, this is America.
This is why the Education Dept. should be local, not National, also for all of those 5Th of may observers, there is no such thing in the US, let me explain it to those new and ignorant of our laws it’s not 5 may it’s THE 4Th of JULY. Got it, go celebrate your crap in your own country , and for that Principal, fire his a$$ and throw his a$$ over the border{ south that is}
I don’t blame any of the parties involved with this. I blame our society for making the Mexico issue a thorn. End illegal immigration and fix the problem then you won’t have issues like this. http://www.funnyconservatives.com/?p=842
TEXAS here in ARIZONA WE HAVE YOUR BACKS!
MEXICO… BRING IT WE ARE LOCKED AN LOADED!
Its time to reverse the invasion and take over mexico,after we the people take back our own land from treasonist politicians.
Yes, the American flag should be flown higher than other fights, because this is America and it’s proper protocol, but what about the kid throwing the Mexican flag in the trash because, as his mother said, “There was nowhere else to put it?” Mexico IS our ally. Why does everything have to be responded to in such an extreme, hateful, whining way? This incident could’ve been used as an opportunity to teach and learn, insted it got hijacked by the media as something new to spaz out over and stir the pot of immigration/racism/white minority fears. Everyone’s an expert.
Should have burned it. That’s not illegal.

4 USC Sec. 7 01/02/2006
-EXPCITE-
TITLE 4 – FLAG AND SEAL, SEAT OF GOVERNMENT, AND THE STATES
CHAPTER 1 – THE FLAG
-HEAD-
Sec. 7. Position and manner of display
-STATUTE-
The flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or
flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the flag’s
own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the
center of that line.
(a) The flag should not be displayed on a float in a parade
except from a staff, or as provided in subsection (i) of this
section.
(b) The flag should not be draped over the hood, top, sides, or
back of a vehicle or of a railroad train or a boat. When the flag
is displayed on a motorcar, the staff shall be fixed firmly to the
chassis or clamped to the right fender.
(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the
same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of
America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains
at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during
church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall
display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or
international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior
prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United
States at any place within the United States or any Territory or
possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall
make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed
of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of
superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions
of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United
States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
(d) The flag of the United States of America, when it is
displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs,
should be on the right, the flag’s own right, and its staff should
be in front of the staff of the other flag.
(e) The flag of the United States of America should be at the
center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags
of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and
displayed from staffs.
(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of
societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United
States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are
flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be
hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be
placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States
flag’s right.
(g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to
be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should
be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the
display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in
time of peace.
(h) When the flag of the United States is displayed from a staff
projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill,
balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should be
placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff.
When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending
from a house to a pole at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should
be hoisted out, union first, from the building.
(i) When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a
wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s own right,
that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window, the
flag should be displayed in the same way, with the union or blue
field to the left of the observer in the street.
(j) When the flag is displayed over the middle of the street, it
should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an
east and west street or to the east in a north and south street.
(k) When used on a speaker’s platform, the flag, if displayed
flat, should be displayed above and behind the speaker. When
displayed from a staff in a church or public auditorium, the flag
of the United States of America should hold the position of
superior prominence, in advance of the audience, and in the
position of honor at the clergyman’s or speaker’s right as he faces
the audience. Any other flag so displayed should be placed on the
left of the clergyman or speaker or to the right of the audience.
(l) The flag should form a distinctive feature of the ceremony of
unveiling a statue or monument, but it should never be used as the
covering for the statue or monument.
(m) The flag, when flown at half-staff, should be first hoisted
to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-staff
position. The flag should be again raised to the peak before it is
lowered for the day. On Memorial Day the flag should be displayed
at half-staff until noon only, then raised to the top of the staff.
By order of the President, the flag shall be flown at half-staff
upon the death of principal figures of the United States Government
and the Governor of a State, territory, or possession, as a mark of
respect to their memory. In the event of the death of other
officials or foreign dignitaries, the flag is to be displayed at
half-staff according to Presidential instructions or orders, or in
accordance with recognized customs or practices not inconsistent
with law. In the event of the death of a present or former official
of the government of any State, territory, or possession of the
United States, the Governor of that State, territory, or possession
may proclaim that the National flag shall be flown at half-staff.
The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the
President or a former President; 10 days from the day of death of
the Vice President, the Chief Justice or a retired Chief Justice of
the United States, or the Speaker of the House of Representatives;
from the day of death until interment of an Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court, a Secretary of an executive or military
department, a former Vice President, or the Governor of a State,
territory, or possession; and on the day of death and the following
day for a Member of Congress. The flag shall be flown at half-staff
on Peace Officers Memorial Day, unless that day is also Armed
Forces Day. As used in this subsection –
(1) the term “half-staff” means the position of the flag when
it is one-half the distance between the top and bottom of the
staff;
(2) the term “executive or military department” means any
agency listed under sections 101 and 102 of title 5, United
States Code; and
(3) the term “Member of Congress” means a Senator, a
Representative, a Delegate, or the Resident Commissioner from
Puerto Rico.
(n) When the flag is used to cover a casket, it should be so
placed that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder.
The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch
the ground.
(o) When the flag is suspended across a corridor or lobby in a
building with only one main entrance, it should be suspended
vertically with the union of the flag to the observer’s left upon
entering. If the building has more than one main entrance, the flag
should be suspended vertically near the center of the corridor or
lobby with the union to the north, when entrances are to the east
and west or to the east when entrances are to the north and south.
If there are entrances in more than two directions, the union
should be to the east.

That’s OK. April 21st is San Jacinto Day here in Texas. ( April 21, 1836 being the day Texas DEFEATED the Mexican army and won, fair and square, it’s independence from Mexico.) I take off work that day and fly my Texas flag HIGH AND PROUD.
Could you guys back off the racism? It’s one thing to want the Mexican flag not flown higher than the American flag. It’s another to hate all Hispanics and have no sympathy for people who want better lives. You may recall your own ancestors did that, and that’s why you’re here.
I am no friend of the current administration, but what you are doing is more beneficial to them than any inflated media report. You’re actually being racist. Give that to their media and the tea party and its promise are completely screwed. Good job, morons. “Hurr, I wear the red shirt!” Fuck partisan politics, fuck not thinking and fuck disregarding the very compassion that let your ancestors prosper.
Attention all Mexicans residing in the United States:
1. You do not have the right to tell a single American what to wear, let alone attempt to stop anybody from displaying the US Flag. Not on Cinco deMayo or any other day. Understand?
2. You have no right to display any flag other than the US Flag in a school funded by American tax dollars.
3. If you don’t like the above rules plus any other rules that we Americans set in our own country, then get the fuck out and go back to that shithole south of our border which you CALL your homeland. Got it?
Enough is enough with people that think they are entitled to come to a foreign country illegally, demand unending entitlements, mistreat, abuse and even murder the citizens of that country and then become indignant when their churlish, criminal behavior is taken to task.
Deport them all now, shut down the border and hit reset.
Then a 10 year moratorium on any immigration.
These people have no idea the pile of crap they have just stepped in and how mad Americans are now. http://911essentials.com
This student must have some Boy Scouting in his background.
A Boy Scout certainly knows the rules regarding our Flag.
Thank you, Thank You, Thank You. My faith is reaffimed that Americans are still walking around and defending our Flag -= even in schools.
This is the United States, not Mexico. You want to wave that flag, go south of the border. Here it’s the USA every day, even May 5th. Illegal immigration is ruining the country on both sides of the border, we need to strengthen our Border Patrol to stop it.
Anyone that feels the USA is in someway improper, you have an open invitation to leave whenever you want. Don’t like the freedoms granted by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? THEN LEAVE!!!!!!!
I hold the US above any other culture. Why? Because its mine, and its everyone’s that calls the US home, legally that is. These fractious ideals of holding the ideas of their original cultures on equal footing with that of the USA is unsatisfactory. Respect your original culture, but don’t try to hold the laws there as being recognized here. You want your flag? Fine, but leave it in your house. Don’t force it into schools or other public settings. You want your festivals? Have them privately. You want to shout from the rooftops about how good Cinco de Mayo is? Fine, doesn’t mean I have to listen.
Don’t forget the people of South America were all waiting to be saved by Quetzalcoatl, The Bearded White God.
This explains why Cortez so easily conquered them. We should just take over all of South America…….Show them how to work, build things, use their brains…, etc.
Then we can put up a giant wall and they can stay in their own land or maybe a moat! We will check in every now and then to make sure they are successful.
Any public place in America that is paid for by legitimate taxpaying citizens should be ashamed of this.
When are Americans going to fight back? We have laws! Use them! Speak out!
Rise up or your children will never know this great country!
us tejanos hate the mexicans too…tejanos do not consider themselves hispanic,mexican.latinos.we seperate ourselves from that. 8 tejanos fought in the texas indedependence and died.if anyone knows the history of tejanos then you know mexicans have no claim to texas.american pride and tejano pride……………… http//www.tejanopride.com i fly two flags and that is the american flag and the texas flag.
Gee, some redneck kid tears down a Mexican flag and throws it away on Cinco de Mayo. He’s at school. Complain. Write a letter. This little ass wanted to grandstand. It have everything to do with race. Why else would someone take that kind of action? What the hell is everyone so afraid of? There are tons of Mexicans in Texas. Don’t you think this is spiteful? Oooh, the Mexicans are taking over!!! Run! Git yer guns! .
Attention Mexicans and Mexican Americans who cannot conform to American law:
Please read James’ post above. And if you do not or cannot agree or at least abide by our laws, then please purchase a compass, rotate your body until the arrow is on the big S. Then walk or drive until you arrive in an area where crime is rampant, living conditions are abhorent, and a bunch of other Mexicans (who would like to conform to our laws) are passing you going to other way.
Abla de espanol?
In the first place, if that photo is accurate, the Mexican flag was not “flying” anywhere. It was draped over a banister in the hall. How is it “higher than” the American flag? There IS no American flag. That is just a lame excuse.
Secondly, stupid little redneck schoolboy is no in any position to “take it upon himself” to do anything about it. No one gave him any authority to step in and take down the flag. If he had a complaint, he should have lodged it with the proper authorities. His suspension is well deserved.
What do you expect from the federal edumacation system! With the mao worshiping adminisration things are only going to get worse in this country! The school ” indoctination” system no longer has become a third world dictatorship puppet. It’s going to get real ugly one day soon!
Gripeboy….put down the twinkies and try real hard to listen………
THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW! THEY ARE ILLEGAL! THEY DON”T BELONG HERE! IT ISN”T JUST MEXICANS! ENFORCE THE LAW! GET OUT! WE DON”T WANT YOU! STOP HAVING TONS OF KIDS YOU CAN”T TAKE CARE OF!!!!!!! STOP THROWING YOUR DIRTY DIAPERS IN OUR RIVERS! STOP HANGING YOUR FLAG ABOVE OURS! STOP SPEAKING SPANISH! WE SPEAK ENGLISH!
Now, you go to Nicaragua, Iran, or even …MEXICO and sneak into the country, set up shop, lie to the government and then see what happens to you!
They only reason they can come to the USA and are not locked up or killed is because we are a “CHRISTIAN” FORGIVING country ……………. well no more!
Let the loving muslims take them in………….
Enough!
As a veteran of this country, I applaud this young man for what he did. Thank you son for standing up for this country. These principal’s in our AMERICAN schools who want to PUNISH someone who does the RIGHT thing should be fired. And for all of you who don’t like OUR FLAG IN OUR COUNTRY then do us all a favor and GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE PLEASE.
dey took er jerbs
IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BECOME AN AMERICAN GO BACK TO MEXICO AND STAY! What makes you so loyal to a dirty, destitute country like the one you escaped from?
Give them an inch and they will take a mile. Don’t give an inch on stuff like this.
Most native Texan Hispanics, don’t go for this either but their voices are never aired by the trash media like MSNBC.
Rules for display of the flag should be common knowledge in a school. If they are not then somebody needs to start attending PTA meetings and voting in school board elections.
Whoa, whoa, steffy – Tommy Chong’s not Mexican, he’s a half-Chinese Canadian born in Alberta!
- Not all Mexicans are here illegally.
- Irish flags are flown on St Patrick’s Day, Italian on Colombus Day, BFD. I bet some even get put higher than the US flag.
- White people litter too. WTF does this have to do with anything?
- People are free to speak whatever language they wish. How ironic is it to go on about “freedom” and then dictate what language people can speak?
- We are NOT a Christian nation. Where do you people get this? Have you read the US Constitution?
- Muslim paranoia. I guess all brown people are scary.
I have a US flag. I fly it on special occasions and I don’t freak out like an ignorant rube when I see another country’s flag being flown. Relax.
This is so ridiculous. At the university where I used to work, we were asked by a senior administrator to remove the “holiday lights.” They felt that having anything associated with Christmas is offensive.
In NYC there is a school where the courtyard has nearly every flag of every country painted! I think that is becoming more the norm — to honor other flags and to not have any mention of the US flag/Christianity.
THIS IS OUR LAND NOW, IF YOU GRINGOS DON’T LIKE IT THEN GO BACK TO EUROPE. AMERICA IS BROWN LAND. SOON AZTLAN WILL RISE AGAIN.
Well I guess it is official. California, schools and all want to become part of Mexico. From the boycotts, to the marches, to the legislation of sanctuary cities, they are setting themselves to fill up with illegal until we might as well send it back to Mexico. That will please La Raza. The Arizona law is not racist, it isn’t about profiling, they have even changed it so it wouldn’t look that way but the left doesn’t report that.
We need to fight back and I think Arizona was doing what was right. We need to support them. Just look at the left and what they are doing about immigration, nothing. Thank you Arizona for standing up for the rule of law. A link for everything that is happening is: http://www.americanparchment.com/library/obama_arizona_immigration.html
As a veteran of the United States Air Force, I am offended by Klein High School, Spring, Texas. Who is teaching our children and in what country?
This is from the United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 — The Flag
No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.
Thank the Lord that there are some students who are willing to stand up for America. The American flag is still the major symbol of this country. If the Mexicans who are living here, legally and especially illegally are that proud of their country, let them move back there!
Many mexican activist say that the only reason they hold the american flag is to show america that they are here to stay whether we like or not. If mexico so great then go back to your country.We need to let these polticans know that we don’t want them here.I’am tired of them all. Everytime I go out that’s all I see is mexicans.They should change chicago to chicano.They look at us and they laugh at us.That’s why they do this because nobody speaks up.Maybe we should do our own protest and boycott their products.
Here is the link to a statement posted by Klein Independent School District (The school district discussed here) on it’s website:
hey Texas,,whats with your school principals.,
this one should be fired.,asap then deported to the country
he loves,.its not usa,, get him the heil out.
if he loves Mexico so much why dont he go teach there.,
LIBS ARE A DISGUSTING BUNCH.,I HAVE NOT PATIENCE WITH THESE PC MORONS.
Hey ALEX (3:49 P.M.)
How did the “native Americans” get to the U.S. ? Hm?
Oh, that part of history is not relevant to your argument now, is it?
Your selective history lesson does not hold water. Don’t post again until you can be intellectually honest.
Wow. Ridiculous.
I agree with all the pro americans here. but realise this americans…we are being manipulated to hate them. think about it. what happens next? and then after that?

Give that kid an A+ He is right. NO other flag is to be flown or displayed higher than the U.S. Flag. Guess the PC school libtards don’t know that. Idiots.
