13 year old Cody Alicea had been riding his bike to school for about two months with the American flag attached to it. Earlier this week he was asked to remove it by a school yard supervisor.
“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 had to take the flag off his bike and put it in his backpack, where he kept it all week. This action came one day before Veterans Day. Cody’s grandfather was a WWII vet and he was lavid.
Ed Parraz, the Superintendent of the Denair School District reported that the yard supervisor asked Cody to take down the flag over concern about his safety. Some students had complained about it and had apparently made threats.
Parraz said all national flags were banned from campus after a Cinco De Mayo incident when tensions escalated between students displaying the Mexican flag and those waving the Stars and Stripes.
“I think it would be irresponsible of us if we kind of shined it on and let him have the flag and he got jumped or something like that and got hurt,” said Parraz. And this is true, but it would be even more irresponsible to force Cody to be deneid his right to fly the American flag and show some patriotism while giving a free pass to those who are upset and angry because they don’t like the American flag and want to fly the Mexican flag.
Here’s a news flash: Those Hispanic students are wrong and its time they were told they are wrong! This is still America and we have a right to fly the American flag here.
If after being advised in detail how they are wrong and they still object and wish to threaten others who fly the American flag or they demand to fly their former country’s flag then they should consider leaving this country! They are not welcome and believe I can safely speak for every sane American with an IQ over 80 and an ounce of patriotism when I say, we are a melting pot society and people either believe in it or they should get out.
No matter how hard working they are or what wonderful family values they hold dear, if they won’t assimilate into our culture and behave as American’s first and foremost they are of little value to our society. Their attitude brings in more national security problems than we can tolerate.
Back at the middle school, Cody was greeted by a swarm of media outlets when he got out. At home he did more interviews with print, radio and television reporters. He was a bit unnerved by all the attention. His biggest concern was that Parraz was being vilified. “I don’t want him to be fired. I know where he was coming from. He’s a nice guy,” said Alicea.
We also recognize that the yard supervisor (a female) was acting with good intentions, but she should have taken this matter of threats up with the principal/superintendant before going any further.
Those making the threats should have been targeted and dealt with not the intended victim.
This is what we get when we have over 12 million illegal aliens invading this country, skipping past all the normal steps to insure a fair understanding of what America is and their role in this society as responsible citizens. THANK YOU LIBERALS AND DEMOCRATS FOR YOUR COWARDLY AND MORONIC STAND ON SANCTUARY CITIES AND OPEN BORDERS!
