Nothing shines like pride in where we live and who we are. What better way to exhibit that pride than the American Flag and all of her glory? That would seem like a no-brainer until you see what occurred this week at California's Denair Middle School when a teenager adorned his bike with the flag.


Thirteen year old, Cody Alicea, has been told by his school to stop flying the flag that he is so proud of on campus because it could be a potential race issue. Superintendent Edward Parraz, said “Our Hispanic, you know, kids will, you know, bring their Mexican flags and they’ll display it, and then of course the kids would do the American flag situation, and it does cause kind of a racial tension which we don’t really want.” Aliceas' bike has had the flag on it for the last two months but just this week, the week of Veterans Day, has he been told that he is banned from displaying it on campus any longer.


Just when you think that adults get the youth and would back one that is doing something positive you have a regressed thinking Superintendent that just does not get it.
