Teen Suspended for Removing Mexican Flag in Texas High School

A listener to Michael Berry’s radio broadcast in Houston Texas, called in to express her dismay with a Mexican flag being prominently displayed at her son’s school, Klein Collins High School.

The Texas Mom did the appropriate thing and called the school to complain about the display and request that it be taken down, however, the school failed to return her phone call.

The student, possibly upset from the actions in California and after his mother received no response, took the Mexican flag down himself.

The administration of Klein Collins didn’t take too kindly to the act. According to Michael Berry, the school, “pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, and suspended him for 3 days.”

The young man is also being told he has to pay for a new Mexican flag.

Unrest over perceived preferential treatment toward Mexican-Americans continues to grow across the nation. Equally, anger is mounting within the Mexican-American community over Arizona and the national backlash to recent events.

It would seem that some have ‘forgotten’ the Alamo.

Too late. Just read there are 6 million students in California, and over 50% are Hispanic. Imagine something similar in Texas or any border state.

the key word there is “public” schools. You can beat that 1000’s of private schools across the state are nearly entirely white.

“Mexican flag should be flown ONLY on Sept. 16th —Mexican Independence Day. NO OTHER DAY!”

In Mexico.

Theft of school property or the property of a teacher or fellow student should be punished by something much greater than a three day suspension.

“You can bet that 1000’s of private schools across the state are nearly entirely white.”

That is how the South dealt with federal desegregation orders.

And the Gadsden flag, which was banned at some polling places because it was called a TEA party symbol.

We can add that one to the list. By the way, does the Gay and Lesbian Movement have a flag. I am sure that flag would be welcomed to fly any time and any where on public buildings such as schools.

Any time, ANY TIME a foreign flag is flown at any government facility, be it a school, courthouse, or park, it should be torn down and burned. Especially when the flag belongs to an invading country.
