there's no other indication that says otherwise either so we don't know for sure.

LMAO. It's been all day and you've posted multiple times on this thread but haven't addressed that issue. Sorry for jumping to the conclusion. I didn't realize you were working up to some final realization that required you to be home. (Really, it's not that difficult of a question to answer).

How am I "huffing and puffing" and "demanding a response"? Quit building a strawman.

It seems if there were an attitude problem the security would have offered that as justification for the comment. Since nothing was mentioned we shouldn't make an assumption that "attitude" was a problem. Just like not assuming that it was the size of the flags that was a problem because that wasn't mentioned either.

Right. And the principal of that school agreed with the student and his complaint about the security guard.
 
It sounds to me that in this case the security had the attitude problem

Just sayin' Sounds like a teen hater
 
Hmmm....might be true. Or maybe he has issues about a U.S. flag being toted around by a proud American citizen?

every story has 2 sides. It is always possible to write the story to any direction they want. In this case - painting this high school as unpatriotic because such headline sells.

You shouldn't make an assumption that one isn't waving it with an act of intimidation either.

where?

"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."

There is a policy that bans anything that creates a safety problem or which disrupts the educational environment.

I have no problem with the flag size other than that it's tacky when a super big flag is being displayed on a truck or a motorcycle. Thankfully, there's no law against against being tacky.:D I've never said that the flag size was a problem -
only that it was tacky.

I've seen bikers with full size flags like those on their motorcycles.

If there were laws against "tacky" we could clear the streets of baggy pants and underwear showing on guys, and rolls of bare midriff exposed on gals. :D

Personally, I don't like to display Flags in any way that could unnecessarily subject the Flag to adverse weather and traffic conditions that would soil or tear up the Flag prematurely.

My porch Flag stays out 24/7 but we have a spotlight on it at night, bring it in if we know a bad storm is pending, wash and bleach it to prevent mold formation, and replace it when it looks ragged. We take it to the VFW for proper disposal. We buy the nylon ones that are made specifically for outdoor use.

Hubby's bike is kept in the garage, so the flags stay protected in bad weather.

When a person buys the large bike flag poles, it says specifically on the description that they are to be used for parade speeds only; they aren't supposed to be used for highway driving. But I have seen them used that way. I wouldn't recommend it but that's up to others to decide for themselves. At least they usually fly the full-size ones on only really big bikes.
 
It was allright for our neighbor to fly Mexican flag and won't fly American fly right next to Mexican flag. One veteran got so upset and went over there and almost got in fight with this guy for refuse to remove his Mexican flag or add American Flag. Too bad our law did not do anything about it but this article shows us something wrong with our country.
 
That's strange to hear this news. They told student to remove USA Flag from Truck. I guess that they do not want to see any big flags on the truck during non-holiday season. We learned something about 3x5 flag or larger flag on rear of truck or motorcycle. It may dangerous for road hazard

Nothing wrong with any USA Decal or paint on any motor vehicle. We do not need to see non-sense picture like decal or paint.

On Memorial Holiday weekend at Washington, DC, higher number of people use two flags (POW and USA) on rear of motorcycle. Both flags size about 3x5 feet.



My former co-worker use 3 by 5 feet Philadelphia Flyers flag (banner) on his rear of truck.

My best friend still use small USA flag on his side window of truck. See like this picture.

Nobody complain about our neighbor use Germany flag. Other house has yellow flag with picture of snake "Don't Tread On Me".


I prefer not talk off topic about anything flag on their property. This posted, they talked about larger flag on rear of truck. It may cause road hazard.

Some people just don't have anything better to do with their free time, I guess.
 
Display US flag, regardless on sizes are not offensive at all in USA and we are in USA so we can flying our country flags whatever we wants.

Toobad to people who feel offended to see USA flag being flying.

USA flag is country flag, not religious or ethnic flag.
