Hopefully it has not gotten to where it is the symbol that incites the violence, but the misuse of that symbol. I think schools across the nation need to teach the kids how to respect the flag, and if they want to get into it with others, keep the US flag out of it. I truly hope it can get back to people using the flag to demonstrate their love of our country, and for no other reason. As for the Mexican flag, I think that in the Colorado case, the principal banned both. Hopefully, after a short cooling off period, that too will be withdrawn.
Where's our damn politicians and elected government leaders?
They're under the bed shaking at the thought of having to take a stand.
