I just saw this on Facebook. what would you do if your son or daughter came home with a note from the principal telling them to remove the American flag from their vehicle. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid= [login to see] 30893&id= [login to see] 74062&ref=fbwaexpcopy

Freedom of expression the first amendment works both ways. People say it their right to stomp or disrespect the flag. Then a student should be allowed to display the flag if they choose.

I would tell the principal to "kiss my ass". Then I would paint the American flag on the hood and doors of the vehicle, with a sign asking "How many died for your freedoms?"

I can turn to extreme belligerence when provoked about my constitutional rights.

I would send my student back to school with a copy of the U.S. Constitution. I would very politely ask that the principal return to me a note verifying that the he/she actually read the document... signed by his/her parents.
