"red-state mentality"????

What does this law have to do with political parties? I doubt that only Republicans supported this law. Yes it is stupid that they state has the law, but your remark is so typical of you it's actually pretty funny. The world must be a pretty grim place in your eyes. I'll bet Pat Robertson was behind this law because Jesus told him that God likes America more so only an American flag should permanently be displayed in public schools.

If anything, this is just one more incident to show how useless some public schools are becoming. I had foreign flags in many of my classrooms growing up, but they weren't public schools.

Thanks
David

It really depends on how the word 'permenant' is defined in the law. He was insubordinate to the principal so get a few days off with pay.

It's a Colorado law not a Federal law so Tom Tancredo has nothing to do with this issue.

I was not making a legal comment, I was making a comment about the political character of Jefferson County.
