I don't care if you are a Democrat or a Republican or an "I don't know" I cannot think of an appropriate time to Ban the US flag on US soil. Now if was Mexico, I would agree. This is the USA and many families have members that died defending the Flag.

If they want to avoid racial strife, bring in the police on May 5th to insure that there are no problems. I'm sure that any and all countries would extend Americans the same courtesies on July 4.

Thats the libs for ya! If I were a parent of a kid in that cesshole he'd be in a private school or home schooled! For one, there'd be a for sale sign on my house!

The school officials need to be turned into piñatas if they want to be politically correct!

Sorry I do not use search in the chit chat section. It's more like Maybe you already know this or Maybe someone has forgotten. Again where is the Tolerance and acceptance I keep hearing about?

dljen Loc: Central PA

You have problems with dates?

idaholover Loc: Nampa ID

Your not even any good at insulting people! I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't have American flag toilet paper.

dljen Loc: Central PA

I seriously think you three should stick together. You're way off the deep end.

Samuraiz Loc: Central Florida

Again, no tolerance for an honest mistake?

I did not know, nor is this practice reflected on any of the photography related pages, that posting a statement or possibly a question that was previously posted is clearly forbidden.


If that was the case, the general photography section would have at the very most, 5 pages.


Maybe you should remind the next person that asks, Raw or Jpg about this rule.

Are you a member of the communist party? You sure have a lot of hate built up inside of you towards America.

Have I even seen you before? Hey, you believe anything your little heart desires.

Turning the flag into an item of clothing is disrespectful to the flag.

Hustling merchandise with images of the flag is disrespectful to the flag.

Using the flag to make a bigoted political statement is disrespectful to the flag.

Mexican-Americans displaying the Mexican flag is no different then the Polish, Irish, and Italian-Americans displaying the flags of their home countries. Countering that with conspicuous (and disrespectful) displays of the US flag clearly is intended to say that people from the targeted ethnic group are not "real Americans."

The US flag has not been banned, using the flag (or anything else) for inflammatory purposes in a school setting has been, and should be regulated.

I agree with you regarding the disrespectful uses of the flag i.e. clothing window curtains what have you but that is not the reasoning behind the disallowance of the flag symbols in this case it is purely political correctness. I would like to know if the Mexican student is sent home for displaying his nationalism at the same school! No American flags, no Mexican flags! In fact, there may be some children there from another state so I would disallow the State of California flag as well.

BTW, it can't be regulated because the SCOTUS has already ruled it free speech. It should be shamed but not regulated.

That is a unique interpretation as well as your personal opinion. At no time in my life has any one said that a shirt with the image of the flag is disrespectful to the flag. At no time is showing patriotism disrespectful.

Having significant, even arrogant pride in your own country, it's constitution and it's freedoms is not Bigoted. It's National Pride.

One should never be ashamed of demonstrating respect for their Country or what it stands for.


If a facsimile of the flag is disrespectful then I guess many Olympic teams are guilty.

The USA has Military bases throughout Europe. Imagine if Germany, Italy or Japan asked their students to refrain from displaying their flag on July 4th? This is not going to happen.

The California School system said this was to avoid violence. Not wearing the flag would not affect whether a Non-Mexican would start an issue with a Mexican American. So I guess that "it is possible" that the violence came from the Mexican side.

It is important that all cultures receive total respect, however, it is not a good idea to disrespect your hosts. If this was Mexico I would agree with the court's ruling. however, this is nor Mexico. This is Still the USA where the Flag should be able to be displayed 24/7.
