So, let me get this straight: An elementary school, here in the United States of America, lowered Ol' Glory to make way for a Saudi flag? I find that disgusting. Not because it happened near the tenth anniversary of 9/11, or because it was the flag of some of the terrorists who committed that atrocious act.....it is mostly because this is America, and for a little over 235 years brave men have spilled blood and given their lives to ensure that a foreign flag is never raised on American soil. This sort of thing is unacceptable. I was glad to see that the principle of the school remedied the situation quickly. But for someone to even do it in the first place is just plain disrespectful. This is America, we speak English, and we fly the American flag. You want to fly the Saudi flag? Do it on your own property, not on public school property where American kids are forced to see Old Glory sitting backseat to another country's flag. I just find it deplorable, disrespectful, and certainly in bad taste. Maybe I am over reacting, but in today's PC world, even the small instances of PC bullshit just set me off.
