Flying the American Flag in America is Offensive

The Denver Channel is reporting that a student was ordered to remove two large flags flying from his pickup because they might make other uncomfortable.

A high school student in Northglenn is upset that campus security told him to remove the large American flags flying from his pickup truck because it might make others uncomfortable.

Apparently the security officer didn't recognize the student's flags were the same as the star-spangled banner flying from a flag pole in front of the school.

The principle at Northglenn High School seems reasonably sane.

"I am unaware of that situation. So I need to talk to that person, see why they did that, if they did that," said Northglenn High School principal Dr. Mary Lindimore. "We have 'em in the hallways upstairs. So we promote flying of American flags."

...

When 7NEWS asked Lindimore if she could imagine any scenario in which the American flag would disrupt the educational environment, Lindimore said no.

It is never inappropriate to fly the American flag in America. Anyone who's offended by that needs to seriously reconsider which country they live in.

    Pedantic tangent: the Flag Code outlines plenty of situations in which it is inappropriate to fly the flag.
