QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 10:18 PM) I guess Frank should just try not to hit homers when no one is on base. oh, he can't help himself (too greedy). he'll also probably try to drive in a bunch of runs when players are on base, what an ass.

QUOTE(bmags @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) they were using the flag in a way that was disruptful, so technically the principal is right. good point. he should have banned the mexican flags when they first started showing up and disrupting the school instead of waiting until the other students began wearing the US flag.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 3, 2006 -> 08:43 AM) Your paraphrasing from the article is wholly inaccurate. The principal said, if you read carefully, that the flag WAS BEING USED to intimidate, by students. And it was. He said nothing incorrect, and was not saying the flag symbolized anything evil in general. His EXACT quote: "The flags no longer were being used as symbols of patriotism or of cultural heritage, but of ethnic intimidation, harassment and blatant bigotry," Stumpf said. And, for those of you who fail to actually read the article, let me help to make sure you aren't mislead. The American flag still flies over the school, and in classrooms. The ban is only for students wearing or flashing a flag, ANY FLAG OF ANY NATION, in the school. This is one of the reasons why message boards are dangerous. Someone misquotes or misrepresents something as fact, and then everyone reading it assumes its true. :headshake There's your headshake. BTW, I am not saying I agree with the ban. But I really hate when people try to enflame others by manipulating facts. And besides, clearly, the students were indeed using the flags to intimidate people. actually, i was not trying to mislead or "inflame" the message board. i quoted him as saying saying the american flag was being used to intimidate, bla bla bla... which he did say. i posted the link to the article so people could read it for themself and draw their own conclusions. oh, and how exactly do you know that the flags "were indeed being used to intimidate"? could have just been some oversensitivity going on here. i suspsect the mexican students started wear mexican flags and then the american kids started wearing american flags. showing patriotism is often viewed as racist/incorrect by some of the far-left leaning individuals that seem to have a knack for gaining high positions in public learning institutions. these same people would veiw an individual wearing a mexican flag as being proud of ones cultural heritage...
