Colorado School: Students not allowed to celebrate America!

Sending your child to public schools is quickly becoming parental malpractice!
 
Via Todd Starnes at Fox News:
 
Students and parents at a Colorado high school are outraged after administrators turned down their request for a spirit week day honoring America because it might offend non-Americans.
 
“They said they didn’t want to offend anyone from other countries or immigrants,” a 16-year-old member of the student council told me. “They just really did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable.”
 
The student council at Fort Collins High School had proposed having a day to celebrate the United States during next week’s Winter Spirit Week. The young people pitched “’Merica Monday” – and invited their classmates to dress in patriotic colors. Their proposal was promptly shot down by administrators.
 
“They said they didn’t want to be exclusive to any other country,” a 17-year-old member of the student council told me.
 
The students and parents who talked to me about this incident have asked to remain anonymous. The parents feared their children might face reprisals from liberal educators.
 
“It’s bizarre and idiotic that we’ve come to this crossroads in our society that we are having to sacrifice our own culture and belief system,” one of the parents told me. “I can’t even tell you how it got our blood boiling.”
 
After the administrators rejected the day to celebrate America, the teenagers offered a compromise – “My Country Monday.”
 
“We opened it up to everyone – no matter what country you are from,” the 17-year-old student told me. “That got declined, too.
 
The school’s decision left students frustrated, confused and angry.
 
“It’s shocking,” the 16-year-old said. “There are men and women fighting for our country and we should be able to celebrate that and be proud that we live in a country where we are allowed to vote – the right to free speech. They won’t even let us celebrate it.”
 
 
The irony, said the students, is that they are required to participate in Cinco de Mayo celebrations. …
 
This is the United States of America. We welcome the huddled masses yearning to be free with arms wide open. But if you come to our land and take offense at our values and traditions, then don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
 
So let me get this right, according to this school Cinco de Mayo celebrations are mandatory but celebrating America is offensive? What has happened to our country and why do we allow these pigs to continue to educate children?

So sick and tired hearing what we can and cant do because of offending some one .  This nation was created by a-lot  of different nationalities . They came, and together they formed a free nation, free of Kings high tax's,there rule and dictatorship,  freedom of religion. What I do not understand is why we the people of the US allow the few to have these changes made possible. It's time we put these low life's back under the rock they crawled out from under from. And we need to start from the top and send the message to all we are fed up and not going to take it any more.
          
  
      

In this case it was the few who had the power to make and enforce the rule who made the changes. For what it's worth, they backed down somewhat and allowed a "My Country Monday" theme, but still ....

I do not think we have heard the last of this ... there will be repercussions.
