Local School Suspends Student for Removing MEXICAN Flag
Yesterday, a listeners son was offended that his school, Klein Collins High School, displayed the Mexican flag prominently. His mother called to complain, and the school wouldnt return her call. The student took the sign down.
The school pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, found the student, and suspended him for 3 days. AND he has to pay for the flag. In light of the SF story of students sent home for wearing the AMERICAN flag because it offended the Hispanic students, I thought youd like to know about a story closer to home.
Right here in our community. Feel free to let the school know what you think. You pay their salaries.

You realize, I assume, that if a student removed or even burned the AMERICAN flag, they wouldnt do anything about it, Ill bet.
Not exactly my scene.
Parents should call their school superintendent and school committee but it is a good idea to pull rank on them by notifying state reps and senators. Texas may have independent school districts but they are still part of the political establishment whether they be Democrat or Republican. If they create a hornets nest, the upper echelon of the party will come down hard on them.
Mexico is a high crime rate country. All countries have crime but not an equal amount. Mexico is one of those countries that has a high level of crime. I think that the crime rates of a nation should figure into our immigration policy. But then, that would make too much sense.
