When news broke this morning that a 13-year-old Calif. boy was ordered by his school to remove an American flag from his bike citing “racial tensions,” the outrage started immediately. Both Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh took time during their radio shows to weigh in on the topic.
Beck used the analogy of a family being co-opted by an intrusive neighbor…:
…while Rush Limbaugh asks why the offended “always win”:
Editor’s note: The title of this article has been updated. The Blaze regrets the initial misspelling of “flag” and made the correction as soon as it was brought to light.

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 3:00pmIf they don’t like the American Flag they should just go back to where they came from. If there is tension maybe the teachers could teach the kids about pride in your country. Maybe just maybe they will grow up loving this country instead of being offended every minute of every day.I am so sick of it.Love this country or get out. No one is holding anyone hostage.

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 2:54pmI think you mean “Flag” incident.
Yes when I’m offended, I’m told to get over it.
When they’re offended, it’s somehow a violation of their civil rights.
This sucks. :(

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 4:28pmLOL .. Think the Huffington Post will pick that up? I think the school didn’t like public opinion that the light of truth released on them. I sent an email to the Superintendent .. I wonder if he got more than what he could handle?
My friends just went to conferences at their childs pre-school .. they had no flag in the classroom .. my friends are buying them one! We must stand up for America!

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 2:49pmI would love a challange like that with my kid. Don’t even get me started. I am surprised we don’t have more incidents like this in Southern Arizona. I need to get a flag for my daughters scooter. Maybe buy her a flag shirt for school and see what happens. Luckily, her school doesn’t seem to have any issues with kids expressing patriotism.

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 3:36pmThe main reason we dont have more of the Progressive garbage here in AZ seems very simple, we still give a hell of a lot of our nation, our freedoms, and are not willing to take it from anyone who will threaten them. We survive the deserts, all seasons and the critters – two and four legged, and no legged – and know how to use the guns we carry for defense.
Let the Progressives beware indeed.

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 2:44pmEvery American Kid in every school should wear an American Flag. Numbers always win out. That’s how everyone intimidated our government to get rights. These Kids won’t even have to be Militane,Burn Buildings or Riot. Just Wear a T-Shirt or carry the Flag.

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 2:51pmWhy do the parents not organize a flag-in protest; all the students wear flags on their clothing (shirts) and hats, along with flags on their bikes or book bags. Have small flags in hand, and the first time one of the school officials try to confiscate all of them, they have it filmed as to who’s flags get taken and if all the flags get taken.
Then shout and show it across the land!!!

Posted on November 12, 2010 at 2:55pmSomething to consider too, this kind of incident where the kid wants to carry the flag on his bike and someone forcfully takes it away could be the spark the Progressives will use to start a civil war, and clamp down totally on the country.

Let me be a little more clear, this is such an incident I can picture the Progressives using or starting to set off civil chaos, and initiate a full crackdown by the government. If they attempt to do so, there is a greater than fair chance of full scale insurrection occuring across the land.
