The sun was just beginning to rise over the Rocky Mountains, but Sheriff Justin Smith was already awake. He was standing outside Fort Collins High School – shivering in the frigid cold.
It was 12 degrees. Snow was falling. But Mr. Smith, wearing his dress blues, stood resolute, waving an American flag.
The sheriff of Larimer County, Colorado had come to school Tuesday to send a message to those responsible for educating the county’s children. The sheriff was not in a good mood.
He was standing in the winter snow to protest the school’s decision to ban a celebration of American patriotism.

But after a day of righteous Rocky Mountain outrage, the principal at Fort Collins High School reversed course and apologized.

All of the really STUPID people are running our education systems...
Bingo.
“”All of the really STUPID people are running our education systems...””””
Those who can, do
Those who can’t, teach
Those who can’t teach, teach gym
Those who can’t teach gym, get doctorates and run the school.
Amen to that!
Surely the administrator will be held accountable for such a bad decision. - no bonus this year, and dock his annual salary 10%.
Next bad decision and he is fired.
And amazingly, virtually every one of them holds and advanced degree.
Apparently, it’s now going to be a celebrate “your” country
day.....sigh.
Lift the rock. Watch ‘em scurry
Uh...Wait a minute here. How does the sun rise over the Rocky Mountains if Sheriff was east of the mountains?
Isn't Fort Collins east of the Rocky Mountains?
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, administrate.
Those who can't administrate, make policy.
Those who can, do.
Those who can't, teach.
Those who can't teach, administrate.

Now fire the school’s principal, he’s still an anti-American commie
In this day and age, what with the foreigners trying to run our nation into the dirt, I’m somewhat baffled that there hasn’t been some law passed that outlaws a U. S. Flag within 1000 feet of a school.
Heh heh heh...
Nails it for me.
"Poetic license" and all that. I'm surprised "It was a dark and stormy night" show up somewhere.
“All of the really STUPID people are running our education systems...”
They do so because so-called conservatives are too lazy to get off their fat asses and show up at local schoolboard meetings. Conservatives are more interested in worshipping Mammon and redecorating their kitchens than ensuring liberty for their children. Gee, sergeantdave, how do you know that? Because sergeantdave was involved in local politics for nearly 20 years.
Good catch.
It’s on I25 which is definitely on the east side of the Rockies.
