The anti-American sentiment that has somehow oozed out of the left’s most scuzzy depths has found its way into the mainstream media’s narrative of anti-Trump feelings. Well, tolerant liberals, prepare for your safe space feelings to be hurt.
In Lincoln, Nebraska, that hub of liberal ideology (sarcasm), has told students to not fly the stars and stripes for fears of election backlash and potential protests. Keep in mind this is in Nebraska, one of the reddest states imaginable. So the knee-jerk reaction of the school board to the election of Donald Trump, is to not show patriotic pride by flying the American flag.
You’ve got to be kidding me.
On Veterans Day someone had pulled Old Glory off a flagpole on a students’ pickup truck at The Career Academy. It’s unclear who was responsible for desecrating the flag, but the owner of the truck was concerned about a “potentially disruptive climate.”
The school district said that prompted the school’s administrators to “review the situation and make a determination that there would be potential for continued disruption.”
The Journal Star reported that administrators asked students not to fly the flag “out of an abundance of caution.”
Although, they did say they would “consider letting students fly the flags on another appropriate day, such as Presidents Day,” the newspaper reported.
But this ban was met with, I like to think, uproarious laughter. The response is essentially a gigantic middle finger to anyone telling people to not fly the flag.
As you might imagine, the flag ban did not go over very well in Lincoln – home to many God-loving patriots.
“We have heard from many students, families and community members who were concerned about taking away those rights,” the district said.
The outrage prompted the school district to hold a press conference on Nov. 17 to retract the ban and apologize.
“We want to make this very clear: Lincoln Public Schools students are free to fly their flags on their cars, and leave the flags on their vehicles during the school day,” the district said in a prepared statement.
They also reminded the general public of their patriotic bona fides – from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to promoting Veterans Day.
“LPS believes in the teaching of the tenets of the Constitution and all it represents,” they stated.
What they’re basically saying is, “F*** you, we love this country, we’ll fly the flag as we please, you backwards, sensationalist morons.” Because ONE person pulled a flag down, yes, let’s ban all flags. When one person is offended, EVERYONE IS OFFENDED.
Not so, that’s what the liberal media would love for you to believe as that i what they preach every day. Trump rioters speak for half the country? The amount of people actually protesting is less that 0.0001% of the entire population of this country. Guess what? Flying a flag doesn’t make you racist, misogynistic, hateful, spiteful, or horrible in any way. It means you love America and the country you live in. If you were flying an ISIS flag, then that DOES mean you are a racist, misogynistic, hateful, spiteful, and horrible in every way.
Stop reacting to absolutely everything the left does. Their feelings and ideology, as proven by this election, largely means nothing.
