School Boy Told He Must Remove Flag From Bike

This is absolutely infuriating and I can only imagine my reaction if I were the mother of this patriotic schoolboy. I do all I can to instill a love of God and country in my children. My 10 year old son is deeply patriotic and I would be enraged if his school reacted to his patriotism in this manner.

DENAIR – 13-year-old Cody Alicea rides with an American flag on the back of his bike. He says he does this to be patriotic and to honor veterans, like his own grandfather, Robert. He’s had the flag on his bike for two months but Monday, was asked told to take it down. A school official at Denair Middle School told Cody some students had been complaining about the flag and it was no longer allowed on school property. “In this country we’re supposed to be free,” said Cody. “And I should be able to wave my flag wherever I want to. And they’re telling me I can’t.” Cody’s grandfather says the school was concerned about racial tensions or uprisings because of the flag. He feels if there was really a problem it should have been brought up two months ago, not during Veterans week. “No action should be taken. We don’t want any repercussion,” said Roger. “We just want Cody to be proud of what he’s doing.”

If you feel a similar reaction to this travesty as I do, than please feel free to voice your opinions to Denair Middle School (located in Del Rio, California) and let them know that America and our flag comes first, it should never be treated like trash and if someone feels “racial tones” to it than perhaps their allegiance is to another country that they should make their permanent home. Don’t move to America, partake of it’s blessings and then withhold your allegiance to this country.
