American Values

SOS – Save Our Schools

 

A controversy erupted recently in rural central Virginia when a high school student was told to remove the American flag from his pickup truck. 

 

When pressed to explain the order, school officials claimed the flags were “distracting.” The school also issued a statement that pointed to the student code of conduct that prohibits “offensive” and “culturally divisive” images. 

 

The safety argument might hold some merit if I had any faith that it was equally enforced. But I doubt the school would move so aggressively against BLM flags or LGBTQ Pride flags. 

 

In Colorado Springs, Colorado, a 12 year-old student was ordered to remove a patch of the Gadsden Flag from his backpack because school officials claimed it was associated with slavery and racism. 

 

The ignorance is unbelievable! Every school official pushing that garbage should be fired! The Gadsden Flag was created in 1775 and used during the Revolutionary War as a symbol in the fight against tyranny and oppression. 

 

These two incidents made headlines because the students and their parents were willing to stand up and fight back. I have no doubt that similar incidents are happening every week all over the country on a host of issues, but we don’t hear them because the students and parents caved out of fear.

 

These outrageous incidents are further evidence of the forces that have been unleashed on society that are determined to “fundamentally transform America.” 

 

Yes, elections are important. Our tax dollars pay for these schools! 

 

But just as important is whether millions of Americans are willing to be uncomfortable to resist the radical left. These families in Colorado and Virginia were, and more families need to be inspired by their courage.
