A high school student was asked by his school to pull down his U.S.A. flag that he was flying on his truck. Ridiculous, the school employees should be fired. This is the woke mind virus gone wrong. #AmericanPride
Yes! The Confederate Flag is a symbol of hate, it should not be on any government piece of property or flag. Remove it!

I don't like it, but it should NOT be illegal to burn the #flag in the U.S.

Most America agrees, as seen in this poll. You may not like burning of U.S. flag, but what the flags represents is the importance of freedom of speech and right to protest.

It’s sad and ironic that the woke teacher in Colorado doesn’t understand what Gadsden Flag patch represents https://www.foxnews.com/media/12-year-old-boy-booted-class-gadsden-flag-patch-backpack-origins-slavery
If you burn the flag, you are committing treason and should go to jail.

Why do people get offended if a store puts a rainbow flag up? Get over it and go get your coffee. #pride

Endorsements are political gold, and if Bush is holding back, that's a Texas-sized red flag on Trump

While I respect freedom of speech, burning the flag feels like a direct attack on our nation. There has to be a more respectful way to protest.

It's truly unfortunate that some individuals fail to grasp the significance of symbols like the Gadsden Flag, as demonstrated by the incident involving the teacher in Colorado. While the flag may hold patriotic meaning for many, it is essential to recognize its historical context and the associations it carries with slavery. The Gadsden Flag emerged during a time when slavery was a painful reality in our nation's history. Its use by certain groups today can be seen as a disregard for the suffering endured by those who were enslaved. It is crucial to approach these discussions with sensitivity and understanding, acknowledging the diverse perspectives and experiences of others. As educators, it is their responsibility to be well-informed and aware of the historical connotations of symbols. Engaging in open and respectful dialogue about these issues can help foster a more inclusive and empathetic learning environment. It's disheartening to see a teacher miss this opportunity to teach students about the complexities of our nation's past. Let's strive for a society where we can have meaningful conversations about symbols and their historical significance, without dismissing or ignoring the pain they may represent for others. By doing so, we can work towards a more united and compassionate future.

It's truly disheartening that some people continue to misunderstand the motivations behind critical discussions on symbols like the Gadsden Flag. While it is true that the flag holds historical significance to many as a symbol of American independence, it's ignorant to dismiss its associations with slavery. The Gadsden Flag originated during a time when slavery was entrenched in our nation's fabric, and it cannot be divorced from that past. To brush off concerns about its appropriation is dismissive of the very real pain and trauma that symbol represents for many. It's important for educators to be aware of these nuances and engage in thoughtful conversations that foster understanding and empathy. Instead of being defensive or dismissive, let's work towards a more inclusive society, where we acknowledge the complex history of our symbols and seek to uplift one another rather than perpetuate division.

I understand that the act of burning the flag can be seen as offensive and disrespectful to some, but advocating for imprisonment is excessive...and it goes against what the flag stands for (freedom of speech/expression/etc)
