Northglenn High School tells student Jeremy Stoppel to remove American flag from truck because it might “make others uncomfortable”

american-flag1Before I even get to this story, I’ll say this what will make progressive liberals heads explode. If you are offended or “uncomfortable” at the sight of the American flag flying ANYWHERE in this country, then GTFO. Anyway, a high school student at Northglenn High School named Jeremy Stoppel drives drives a pickup truck. You know like Scott Brown? He attends Northglenn High School which is never Denver and has large American flags flying from his pickup truck. Apparently, the American flags make some “uncomfortable” according to ABC 7 in Denver, and was told the remove the flags by campus security.

“She said I should take my flags down. She said this is a school that focuses on diversity and she doesn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable,” Stoppel said. “How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? That’s where I’m confused.”

He said he started flying his flags around school last week.

“Now that I finally get to drive to school, I have a truck, that’s what I want to do. I want to fly my flags. September 11th is coming up so I wanted to fly them in honor of that,” said Stoppel, who said his cousin is serving in the Navy.

    On the colorado flag flying. You forgot to tell he went to the principal who said there are flags all over the school and yes he could fly his flags. also the reason he does it is because his dad and brother also fly flags on their trucks. Its a family tradition

    The security officer didn’t know what he was talking about.

    The school has no policy against flying the U.S. flag, KMGH-TV reports. Principal Mary Lindimore said she was unaware of the situation on Friday and promised to talk with the security official next week.

    “So I need to talk to that person, see why they did that, if they did that,” Lindimore said. “We have ‘em in the hallways upstairs. So we promote flying of American flags.”

    I am sick and tired of these pissant liberals who try to tell us law abiding Americans that we can’t fly Ol’ Glory. I am a twelve year Army vet and I’ll be damned if one of them tell me to take down my flag. Piss on them and that so called security scum.
