An Oklahoma community expressed outrage after a high school student was banned from flying the American flag on his truck. The decision sparked a patriotic protest from students and parents outside Edmond North High School who responded by flying a number of American flags on campus in support of the student. Caleb Horst, a senior at the school, said he was left confused by the school telling him to stop flying the stars and stripes on his pickup, particularly as he had already been 'flying it for quite a while.' 'I've never really had problems with it before, and it's our First Amendment,

No only did each classroom have a flag but we also pledged allegiance to the flag each morning.

It's time to have a showdown with every school and every government entity on these outrageous, anti-free speech and anti-American rules. Fire every single bureaucrat in charge.

let's consider all the possibilities: American flags on: T-shirts/Jackets/hats/socks/scarves/ties big stickers on notebooks/book covers/back packs inside the windows of the student drivers' cars Don't forget 'Don't tread on me' flags!

I must be much older than the OP since during my days in high school, 1967-1970, no one put our flag on any vehicle, in the school parking lot or anywhere else. Of course, back then, no one, except the anti-war mobs, had anything but respect for our nation's flag. Obviously this Oklahoma school is trashing the first amendment.

It still is. #8. This same tussle over a patriotic male student with an American flag on his pickup truck has been played out in Texas, and I believe Indiana. The administrations backed down but it shows you the rot in these school districts.

I was in third grade in 1954 when the words "Under God" were added to the Pledge of Allegiance. It took a few days before we were able to say the pledge right as we stood in our classroom facing the flag with our hands over our hearts. I think it was probably the first verse we memorized in first grade too.

Birds of a Feather: Socialist International
Endorsing Kamala Harris Is Very Telling

Posted by mc squared 8/30/2024 11:39:34 AM Post Reply
The radical left is coming out in support of the radical leftist running for office. As seen on X, the organization Socialist International has officially endorsed Kamala Harris for president, because of course they did. "From the Socialist International, we proudly support [Kamala Harris] in her candidacy for the upcoming November 5th elections. We are confident she will make history as the first woman President of the United States," they posted. If anyone on Harris's campaign team has a lick of sense, they won't say a word in response to this endorsement... so whether or not they will is up in the air. Ultimately, this won't do anything to help Harris's case.

A frightening scenario has taken place not once but twice in East County near San Diego, California, where, on August 27, 2024, and again the following day, numerous illegal immigrants attempted to force their way onto school buses packed with children. The first incident occurred Tuesday (August 27) afternoon. According to (Jamul-Dulzura Union School District Superintendent) Liz Bystedt, three men were walking in the middle of a highway. They attempted to stop a bus at a stop on the highway. In response, the bus went around the men. The following morning, another school bus encountered a group of about 20 people as it was picking students up from the same stop

Just when you thought California under the impeccably coiffed Gavin Newsom and the lunatic asylum that is the Democrats in the California state legislature couldn't get any more ridiculous, someone sets the bar even lower. Now we see that the legislature's Democratic supermajority is likely to pass a bill providing a home-buying subsidy for first-time real estate buyers of up to $150,000. That sounds like a stupid enough idea all on its own, doesn't it? Not only is this wildly inflationary, not only will it make homes even less affordable for your average Californian,

Oregonians have reacted angrily to a taxpayer-funded scheme that doles out $30,000 for non-legal migrants to buy homes, but excludes US citizens. Hacienda Community Development Corporation, a Latino-led group in Portland, says in a promotion that it will give first-time home buyers up to $30,000 to get on the property ladder. But there's a catch, the advert adds. The scheme is 'only for people who are not American citizens.' It is instead open to refugees, asylum seekers, Green Card holders, and those who arrived in the US illegally as children, the post says.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday night that Republicans could try to “kill” Sen. JD Vance. Raskin was referring to the hostility expressed by a small group of rioters on January 6, 2021, who brought a mock guillotine to the Capitol and were said to be searching for Vice President Mike Pence to punish him for not rejecting the congressional certification of the Electoral College vote. The speech was bitter, and vindictive — as much of Raskin’s rhetoric has been about Trump, even before he took office.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s VP pick, Nicole Shanahan, has launched a direct assault on the epidemic plaguing the political landscape: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). The ad opens with a stark question: “Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS?” It paints a vivid picture of individuals who have become so consumed by their hatred for Trump that they are willing to overlook critical issues facing the country, including skyrocketing inflation, rampant illegal immigration, and corporate corruption. The message is clear: this obsession with Trump has turned rational discourse into an echo chamber of anger and denial. The ad suggests that many Americans are more focused on vilifying Trump
