Do the right thing? Get punished. Are you kidding me?

Last week a patriotic middle schooler got smacked down by his school for flying an American flag on his bicycle. Here's the story...

So, this kid likes to fly the American flag on his bike and an employee at his middle school made him take it off because some had complained and there were fears of racial tension. Of course this made the news, the clip ended up on YouTube and it went viral. This was the result.

Edward Parraz is the district Superintendent...

"It's one of those things that the campus supervisor was thinking in the best interest of Cody and it backfired on her," Parraz said Friday. "I think it was the right decision with the wrong result. She feels miserable."




The right decision? This idiot isn't qualified to be district Superintendent if he believes his employee made the "right decision." Why? This is the United States of AMERICA. If anyone wants to fly the American flag on our soil, they should be able to do so.
The madness just doesn't end. Earlier this year some students in another California school were sent home because they committed a horrific crime, that being they wore red, white and blue on Cinco De Mayo day.

I'm fed up with this, for lack of a better word, CRAP!
In both of these stories, the people that are offended are Mexicans. Well guess what, we're not in Mexico! This is AMERICA.
If you don't want to see the American flag on cinco de mayo day, go to Mexico to celebrate! In this case, if there were complaints and fear of possible violence against this boy for flying the American flag, don't make him take his flag down, pull the Mexican complainers aside and explain the facts of life to them.
This story had a happy ending in that the initial stupid decision was reversed. The problems is, it should have never happened in the first place. It shouldn't have taken thousands of emails and phone calls to tell this district Administrator that this was wrong.
There are many Mexicans that live here in America legally that would never suggest that flying the American flag is a problem. It's high time we tell the Mexicans that ARE offended at the sight of our flag to sit down, shut up, or get the you know what out of America!!


In conclusion, true Americans came out and supported Cody in the best possible way.
