School makes boy take American flag off bike

13-year-old Cody Alicea rides with an American flag on the back of his bike. He says he does this to be patriotic and to honor veterans, like his own grandfather, Robert. He's had the flag on his bike for two months but Monday, was asked told to take it down. A school official at Denair Middle School told Cody some students had been complaining about the flag and it was no longer allowed on school property. "In this country we're supposed to be free," said Cody. "And I should be able to wave my flag wherever I want to. And they're telling me I can't." Cody's grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag. He feels if there was really a problem it should have been brought up two months ago, not during Veterans week. "No action should be taken. We don't want any repercussion," said Roger. "We just want Cody to be proud of what he's doing."

This is a disgrace. An absolute disgrace!

Here's the school's website: dusd.k12.ca.us/

I tried getting on the page but it wouldn't load. It's probably getting hammered.

The American flag is racist, don't you know?

La Raza uber alles.

I got it to load when I put “www.” before the address, but then it was temporarily unavailable anyway. You hit the nail right on the head, I’m sure it’s getting hammered, and SO IT SHOULD.

It is unconstitutional to ban the U.S. flag at a public school.

If he had a Mexican or palistinian flag he would be a hero to these teachers.

Pray for America

The school has just taught that child a useful lesson, and no doubt created a little conservative. Probably not what the school intended.

The effort to erase the United States of America will fail.

Count on it.

Cody's grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag.

That says it all.

So, some “students” complained about the presence of the flag on Cody’s bike, and the flag had to be removed.

If Cody complained about the presence of these same “students” at his school, would they be removed?

Fire with fire.
