"A Michigan school district called the historic “Betsy Ross” flag a symbol of hate and profusely apologized after students displayed the flag at a recent high school football game.

“To wave a historical version of our flag, that to some symbolizes exclusion and hate, injects hostility and confusion to an event where no one intended to do so,” wrote Forest Hills Public Schools Superintendent Daniel Behm in a letter to parents."

The next thing the Superintendent should write is his letter of resignation for being such a stupid fucker.

What was the intent behind the students' use of the flag to begin with? Possible dog whistle?

Who cares?  It's an AMERICAN FLAG for God's sake!!!  A symbol of freedom, and liberty.

In the sense that only dogs find it "Pacist".

Sounds to me like the word racist is being applied to the wrong person.  Leveling a charge of racism like this is random.  Nothing can be done about it, so it is irresponsible too.

People need to untwist their panties regarding things which are inconsequential. This being a perfect example.

I think the Trump banner was probably out of place at this event.  But certainly not the U.S. flag.

There is no controversy other than what people make up in their small racist heads.
The Trump flag was out of place and should not have been flown.

The racists think the American flag is "Pacist" because they think America is Pacist.  And they KNOW Trump is Pacist, so by association any flag flying with Trump's must be Pacist, too, but especially the Pacist fag of that Pacist nation the United States of America.  Hatred for America is both sufficient and necessary to opine that an American flag is Pacist.  Remember that next time that call whomever a "hate-monger".

Resignations are a symbol of racism.

ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID???
Is your need to play make believe to pretend insult so all pervasive that you would stoop this low?
