Colorado High School Tells Student to Remove US Flag From Truck… It’s Offensive
Gateway Pundit ^ | 9-6-10 | Jim Hoft

Security officials told the student they focus on diversity at the school and they don’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable.

A high school student in Northglenn is upset that campus security told him to remove the large American flags flying from his pickup truck because it might make others uncomfortable.

Jeremy Stoppel told 7NEWS he got a ticket at Northglenn High School last Thursday for squealing his tires. He said he deserved that ticket and deserved having his parking lot pass suspended for two weeks.

But he’s upset that campus security then told him he can’t fly his 3 feet by 5 feet flags in the bed of his pickup truck anymore.

“She said I should take my flags down. She said this is a school that focuses on diversity and she doesn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable,” Stoppel said. “How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? That’s where I’m confused.”

Unless they are making the security guard a scapegoat, I don't think the school is at fault on this one.

I heard on the news (Fox & FRiends I think)that it was the security guard who told the kid he could not fly the flag.

A representative from the school said they did not have a policy that would restrict the boy from flying the flag.

In case you didn't notice, I posted the email addy before #18....that is in case YOU care about the facts.

Maybe we can email the Principle and tell her to fire the moron security guard, eh?

I’d mark off a spot on my ass where this security official and the rest of the pinhead school administration can kiss it. Tell ‘em to get bent and fly away!

A lot of Caucasians from California moved there to escape the Hispanics and high taxes. They then decided to recreate California in the Rockies. Same thing the Massholes have done to New Hampshire.

Tell campus security “This IS diversity jackass! There’s no sign of America anywhere else on this campus!”

The principal of the school said she would speak with the security guy the next time he was scheduled in (Tuesday).

The security "guy" is an America hating, female....

Why would the school district hire a anti-American, and likely a racist for school security?

Why are the districts security officers concerned about diversity and flags?

“Yeah she probably got it from DU but that’s not the principals fault.”

Valid point, I’d love to know more about her (security gaurds) motivation/ background.

Security!!!??? What the hell has security people got to do w/telling people what THEY should do or should not do on taxpayor funded property?

Something about cops on school property...that just irritates the hell outa me.

Maybe it’s because...everytime..and it may not even take place in this country...that when something out-of-the-ordinary happens? The leaches come in and promote fear and persuade the taxpayors that this would never have happened if they,(the taxpayor),would have hired thier services to protect thier babies.

Sounds a whole lot like Al Capone Sh*t to me. And it IS!!!

We’ve got... Do NOTHING freaking cops on every damn campus...including kindergarten schools and these sob’s won’t even direct traffic...they will sit in that patrol car (that I pay for...w/a/c running and drink coffee and burning up my money.

An idle mind is a devil’s workshop..and that is what these people (public servants my ass) are all about.

They are continually up to no good.

Yes! “E plurius unum”

Those that love our nation, will love our national symbols; those that use and milk our nation will hate our symbols and all that we are! Then they will be offended!

My guess is, most those that are offended are on the dole!
They love to take, will or cannot give!
