Superintendent Edward Parraz says the school was trying to avoid racial tensions that stemmed from a "little issue" that arose when Hispanic students brought Mexican flags to school on Cinco De Mayo.

When are Americans going to stand up, get in their GD faces and say ENOUGH!

F*** the Superintendent, and F*** the Mexicans and their stinking Mexican flags and their stinking Cinco De Mayo bull s**t.

These people are the most disrespectful people on the planet as they do defecate by the millions on our laws, our borders, our rules, while disrespecting every single American in this country.

"That's when it all kind of started, and I think it carried through so that when Cody started doing his flag everybody said well why isn't he getting in trouble?" Parraz told Fox40.com.

Uh...because it's our flag?

I emailed the superintendent, but of course, no reply.

We had some free time, to spend, so we called every single telephone number for that district....Every one.

Not one of these government employee, Communist cowards had the balls to answer the phone.

But we left ALL of them nice polite messages.

This was broadcast nationally today on Rush’s show. That, in addition to the possible thousands of emails they received, convinced them to reverse course. A win for our team.

This is America. Because people complianed about another country’s flag being flown in an AMERICAN school they want to ban ours? And they think that helps racial tensions? LOL

Here’s what will help racial tensions. Honor our flag and our flag alone. Assimilate or leave.

“Racial” tensions? Most Mexicans are also caucasians (although many have a large dose of Native American blood) so you sure can’t call it “racial.”

It’s political, and we know what side the principal is on. The Hate America side.

Touche’, Madame.

Expose them, counter-attack massively, watch them run for cover. Then finish the job by levering them out of their comfy little positions and rplacing them with some properly reasoning American adults.

I have checked the Denair “Unified” Middle School website and have been unable to locate e-mail addresses for the administrators. I have snail mail and phone numbers.

The one who needs tarring and feathering is the Principal who should have taken those complainers and explained the First Amendment and the concept of American Exceptionalism to those who are sadly lacking in tolerance of their host country.

And who should have reported any physical threats to the authorities and suspended the little thugs.

Good thing you put that ‘sarcasm’ notation there because I would have believed it. In today’s America something like that is absolutely possible.

I bet they learned that “Patriotic tension” is a heckuva lot worse than “racial tension” these days... ‘-)
