Flying the Flag

I don't know if you heard this story about the boy who was asked to take the American flag off his bike because some students were "offended" by it. Well, it turns out that he was given an escort to school by a group of motorcyclists, all with flags on their bikes. :) Other groups stepped in and offered to pay court costs for him to sue the school. The school took notice at that and allowed him to put the flag back on his bike. I can't believe how warped our society is becoming. I mean, if you can't fly an American flag in America, where can you fly it?
Here are two youtube clips about the story:

that is so crazy - how could the flag offend someone? if it offends you then leave our country!

Keep in mind we live in a country whose president....and the actor Danny Glover.... will not even put their hands over their hearts during the pledge of allegiance.

I can't wait for the kids to come in at night and put graffiti American flags on the principal's office.

We need a few more kids like this around, and a few less politicians trying to shmooze in on the publicity they bring! What a great kid!
