The fact that we as adults allow the flag and patriotism to be at issue as a result of the smart ass actions of these kids serves to make us all dumber. It has nothing to do with the flag and everything to do with kids being kids and administrators doing whatever it takes to prevent fights from happening at a high school in a small town. I just spoke with teacher from the next district over and he said that there, there was already heightened security and a police presence on campus that day because of the potential for "brown on brown" violence. With the potential for trouble already smoldering, administrators were surely not out of line in viewing the posturing of these 4 antagonists as a potential match.
