Why the he$$ is any foreign flag flying anywhere near the U.S. Flag in a public school? City,county state flag maybe, but a foreign flag, especially of our enemy? WTF? Oh I forgot,the usual libtard, phony educationalist who sees the world as a community of all equally cultural and religious entities. Peace,love and submission.

Right, no disrespect. The idiot simply doesn’t know American flag protocol. Typical Liberal school administrator.

He explained that other flags are posted around the school to recognize the nationalities of students from other countries. That's the PC wuss's mistake right there. Does he think every school in American should do that?

Dear school Clymers;
I lived in Saudi for six years and expected to see their flag. I wasn't put out not to see an American flag because it was their country. Living back in the USA I only expect to see their flag at the UN, consulates, and embassies. BTW, did you let your students know that where it can be flown in Saudi, the American flag is not very visible as to discourage terrorist attacks. Been that way there for decades.

It seems to me that IF you read the article which most don't here that it was an accident. They put all the flags up from kids from different countries and accidentally raised the Saudi flag to high. They do this daily so it is not like it was done with malice.

When did this “read the articles” thing happen?
Seems extreme.

The Saudi flag IS the flag of the enemy, Islamic green with the words of shahada and a sword aimed at the infidels’ throat.
BTW, the Saudis go ballistic at Olympic events when their flag is handled like any other nation’s, when in fact they regard it as holy as the Koran itself.
Please to note my tagline.

In any circumstance but public schools I might agree with you that it was an accident. Not so here, IMHO.

We need American pride restored. Let the foreign students learn to honor America for allowing them to be here, pretending to get an education at our public schools. Go home to respect other flags.
