One Year After Taking Down School's Mexican Flag, Student Has No Regrets

[vutube379]

He had no right to take it down if the school approved it before hand. He deserved the suspension. Next year they'll keep an eye on him and put back up to celebrate Hispanic heritage month. Sorry, get over yourselves.

[ripimpala3]

And i will shoot u if you throw my flag away,, decapitate you and send it to your mom just like you did with the txt you fucken racist

[IwantPeace82310]

These people have no respect . Meanwhile they want to get respect You wont get respect like that you ignorant prick

[godkingRoss]

Nick, you're a legend. in the UK you'd have probably been called racist and/or provoked into 'hate speech' and then thrown into jail without charge.

Come to England everybody, the totalitarian state for all races!

[Chewbacca0nDrugs]

All rednecks go fuck your grandfather you old smelly inbred honkies.

[shadowgirl1113]

okay I think it's awesome that the kid has American pride, but he should not have thrown the flag in the trash it is like if they go to mexico and the American flag is thrown away, everyone has a right to show pride from where they are from even in other places

[godkingRoss]

@shadowgirl1113 yeah, that's all good in theory but if i went to the US on independence day and started waving the union flag around and singing 'god save the queen' they'd be fireworks indeed, but metaphorically also.

And I wouldn't expect or even ACCEPT anything else. If i did that and Americans were really kind and nice to me, or even joined in on my British tribalistic display there would really be something very, VERY wrong with US society indeed.

[Cbuen22]

Wtf cinco de mayo is not even celebrated by mexicans. It's celebrated by white ppl.

[lorenaafranco]

@janespeaks your fucked up in the mind.

[Eric2827]

He should have spit and shit on that flag

[Chewbacca0nDrugs]

@Eric2827 Why dont you sit on your inbred sisters face you fucking pale redneck inbred.

[janespeaks]

Good on HIM! He handled it just fine. Knowing me I may have burned it.

He has the heart of a man and the balls of a giant. I wish there were more North Americans like him.

[eers2ya]

Good job Nick!

[EmpirealDemocracy]

Total Redneck.

[Xxcartoon13xX]

fuck that white foo if he came to my school he wont even make it avlive

[kennygwalker]

You don't have to call me an idiot. It's just my opinion that you should make a decision on what you consider yourself. If you want to say your both Mexican and American or African American. It doesn't matter what race you are, bottom line is your an American.

[kennygwalker]

Well, in that case you have a choice. I am Hawaiian. You don't hear me ever claiming that I'm Hawaiian American. Yes being born in Hawaii I am automatically an American citizen. I say I am American. I'm just saying, make a choice! Mexican or American. Not both

[FireBomberBassist]

Kid is a hero.

[goosebumpsgirlgirly4]

... It really wasn't higher than the American flag it wasn't even there to compare the height unless it was outside then it's still more likely that it was on a pole that was higher. He didn't have to take it down he could've added an American flag on the side or lowered the Mexican one and added the American flag on top. :l Oh well.

[kennygwalker]

No such thing as Mexican American. Your either Mexican or American.

[Tupacbldz]

@kennygwalker mmm n wut about blacks ?!!! O.o .......africans ? lmao

[shurshshursh]

@kennygwalker What if your mom is American and your dad is Mexican? What would that make you?

[plainolamerican]

by law, both American and Mexican

but you're either an American or something else

[shurshshursh]

@plainolamerican That still makes no sense...

[Southernjuggalo63]

@shurshshursh american if you were born on american soil

[krnpowr]

@kennygwalker You're an idiot. An American of Mexican descent is correct by going with the term Mexican-American. Just like it's okay for blacks to say they're African-American. 

[yaqui707]

@krnpowr then you should call your self euro -american , >anchor baby

[BambooScar]

I applaud this kid and I am Mexican American, just wish the media would grow up and separate our NEWS from our entertainment.

[ilovetosteal]

aw the baby nicky called his mommy "mommy im afraid i need attention imma take down the flag. mommy wow!!! im a big kid now"

[miskoe79]

little dose he know that america will fuck him in the ass later

[Nmyskin18]

I agree with this young man and what he did. Do you know how much blood and tears have been shed and is STILL being shed for the American flag?! People need to stop playing the race card all the time everything isn't a racial matter it's about doing whats right and having some respect. This is America and in America that's what comes 1st, not another country's flag that's what their country is for. I don't get it folks want to come to America and benefit the goods, but don't respect it...smh...

[carrtex]

Hes a Patriot in my book.

[lifelessheap]

Good thing there are still some patriotic Americans in this country.

[ohohmrbill1]

So what is Texas going to do about the Gulen Charters Schools and the Turkish flags they for their events? Google New York Times Gulen Contractors. Texans are wussys and will do nothing to stop the Gulen Movement and there fraud. In fact the gueln Cult is Building a school of political Science to groom future sympathizers for there movement. Texas tax money supports it so I guess it is OK with all Texans.

[TheCashistrash]

this guy is a hero. i should would like shake this young mans hand.

[TravisConway1]

This kid shows more patriotism and nationalism than ALL the liberals combined. Liberals watch as illegals march in OUR streets waving THEIR flag (mexico) and say "They are just showing pride in their country". Yet, when AMERICANS march in our streets waving the AMERICAN FLAG these same libtards say its racist. Vote out these double standard libtards and republicans that refuse to act against the illegal invasion and occupation of OUR country by MEXICAN nationalists and hispanic RACISTS.

[AntiFox08]

@TravisConway1 liberals say they accept anyone, but they really just ignore everyone else. They figure as long as someone doesn't go too far, he's fine. They're just like sneville chamberlain. They'd let Hitler invade anywhere given another chance.

[StoogeWatcher]

Liberals want to make it illegal to be pro-America.

[thricepunker99]

I LOVE this kid... I feel his pain since I live in Los Angeles

[TheWarriorchamp]

GOOD KID

[ProtossX]

Listen closely

Houstan

Texas

TEXAS

TEXAS?

YEP TEXAS AGAIN another KKK racist from texas strikes again

[rgeden]

@ProtossX I hope you don't live in Texas

[asphaltranger1961]

This kid has more love for America than that muslim, seat warming, do nothing loser that some people call the president...too bad 16 is too young to run for office.

[imthedude]

Thats the kind of shit that gets your ass whooped whitey

[prodiversofal]

Wait until he's in the service under the command of Mexican Americans who understand what he did not when he took the flag down.

[kkk2009ism]

Oh MAN!!! This only happens in FOX News, first of all that kid had no argument to take take down the flag regardless of the country it belonged to.

All we know it can't above the American flag that would be illegal in the USA. but this flaf was in a hallway most of the HS do with flags from all around d world

When is St Patrick's day Ireish holiday everyone start wearing green, and half of them don't even know why.

This only shows a lack of tolerance to other countries, culture and races.

[karozans]

You will find no such courage among the liberal left.

The liberal left are nothing but spineless jellyfish who cannot achieve anything without the support of 500 other liberals.

[niamtxiv]

The Mexican flag shouldn't even be up. The American flag should only be up with world flags below. I'm Asian American, proud to be an American. No to illegal immigrants.

[yaqui707]

@niamtxiv asians always kissing the whites mans ass. yes master thank you master , did you forget about what they did  to japan when they drop the bomb and killed mothers and babies .fucking sellout .

they enslave the blacks murder in cold blood the natives of this continent. YAQUI/MEXICA NATION.

[niamtxiv]

@yaqui707

there is something called "laws" in a civilized nation. Do you know what is law? Do you even teach your kids to be morally and ethically righteous or are you going to teach your kids to break laws and act like savages? I don't white man ass. I love all ethnic groups. Stop blaming white people for your failure. No to illegal immigrants, regardless of what countries you're from. Do you understand? No comprendes?

[yaqui707]

@niamtxiv just like a devil to say some stupid shit like that , what laws are you talking about oh the laws written by all whites ,white man steals land from natives then make up a bullshit piece of paper called the constitution to protect his stolen property , you white people are some funny as hell.

[niamtxiv]

@yaqui707

that's the past. Quit blaming it on the white men.

[yaqui707]

@niamtxiv Favorite white man saying :

1 its was the past

2 forget about it

3 its wasn't me it was my fore fathers .

they want us  to forget about the past but still want to keep the profit .

[enriquegrivero]

@niamtxiv Your ancestors were illegal ;)

[Chewbacca0nDrugs]

@niamtxiv YOUR THE WHITE MAN SLAVE!!!

[rgamerican]

@niamtxiv go back to china you illegal zipper head!

[niamtxiv]

@rgamerican

is that all you got?

[rgamerican]

@niamtxiv ching chong chang

[vanzorge]

good for you nick!!

[worldsailor128]

An AMERICAN HERO

[utubecenseorstruth]

hurrah for this student patriot. This is america not mexico unless obama has his way

[totakikay]

Both Hispanics and Middle Easterners have a very anti-American attitude which they grew up learning in their respective cultures. I live in the Bay Area, California. Just ask the F.B.I - most violence and terrorism in America happen to be perpetrated by Hispanic and Middle Eastern gangs and street thugs. Cultural assimilation and social tranquility need to be respected by both Hispanics and Middle Easterners, especially by the men (male gender) of those cultures, who immigrate to America.

[AztecPrince95]

@totakikay Are you fucking retarded? "Most violence and terrorism in America happen to be perpetrated by hispanic and MIddle Easter Gangs", that comment reflects your ignorance and stupidity. First off, Blacks are 10 ten times more violent than Hispanics, Second, Hispanics don't participate in "terrorist groups", at most hispanics form street gangs. Third, you say hispanics are anti american yet 17% of America's armed forces are Hispanic and 18% of USMC is Hispanic.

[AztecPrince95]

@totakikay You have a twisted head to be thinking you can put Middle Eastern towel heads together with Hispanics. You obviously don't know squat because when was the last time you heard of a middle eastern gang? When was the last time you heard a hispanic killing mass people in the U.S? The minority who has killed people are Blacks if anything. They have openly killed whites in the streets, haven't you heard of the "watts riots", they are violent people so if you're going to bitch, bitch at them

[kevinramirez13]

its a flag! big frickin deal just leave it up for one damn day for cinco de mayo it was going to be taken down a day later and the mexican flag was not hanging HIGHER then the American one so it wasn't illegal

[ElvisCat59]

wow, Shandi, what video did you watch? He took the flag down because it doesn't belong hanging anywhere in our country, let alone in a public highschool! The ONLY flag that should be flying or hanging anywhere is our AMERICAN flag...duh.. And so what if anyone is anti-Mexico anyway? The way they treat our citizens at the border, with killing, raping, drug smuggling, we should embrace them or ?? And the huge number of illegals coming from---yes, MEXICO make it something to hate and NOT welcome...

[ElvisCat59]

This is just another case of politically correct garbage going on in this Houston, TX highschool. Good for this courageous young man who took a proper stand against this! The only flag that should fly in our country is the AMERICAN flag...Stop pandering to the Hispanics! Try hangina our American flag in Mexico, see how welcomed THAT would be!

[zookeeper220]

Mexican flag belongs in Mexico and I didn't see an American Flag on that flagpole. Something wrong with this school. Un American trash.

[TheSpongetube]

I love mexcians I just hate the illegal ones that have no respect for our country. Im White btw So you liberals dont have to ask and I dont have White guilt.

[SaintsnBraves3]

He threw it away. LOL

[nbenicewicz]

I'd love to see an American get away with publicly hanging an American flag in a Mexican school or some other public place then demand the civil and human rights to do it.

[CrazyDaddy420]

I1 liberal watched this video.........



[texas1807]

NO MEXICAN FLAG SHOULD EVAN BE IN THIS COUNTRY LET ALONE FLYING

[texas1807]

NO FLAGS FROM ANY COUNTRY SHOULD FLY IN AMERICA ,BOTTOM LINE 

[Hazzardousmat]

I'm of proud German heritage, nothing wrong with that. When you come to America, you integrate into American Society. You do not try to change it into the country you left. If Mexico, or where ever is so grand, by all means go back. For the rest of you, a flag shows jurisdiction. That school is in Houston, Texas u.S.A. not Mexico. It has no place in or over a public place.

[yaqui707]

@Hazzardousmat THEN WHY DIDN'T YOUR FORE FATHERS INTEGRATE . AND LEARN TO SPEAK THE NATIVE  LANDUAGE. this is native land from peru to america . YAQUI/MEXICA NATION .

[enriquegrivero]

@Hazzardousmat There will always be Mexicans there, wether you like it or not. I'm proud of my Mexican, Lebanese and Spanish roots, but what we talk here is not about heritage only, but land. Land attracts people. Texas was never Germany if you know what I mean. Don't misunderstand me, I know juridically is the US, but the truth is that Mexican references will always be there, till the end of time. So wether you like it or not, Mexican flags will be seen in the territories that belonged to us.

[Jmadness94]

Nigga penis. Bitches.

[MarijuanaCommunity]

what ideate its just a rag flag, leave it alone.

[AztecPrince95]

@MarijuanaCommunity Oh shut up you troll peice of shit....

[ctpmobiledetailing55]

This kid is my hero!!!

[ShawnToTheSullivan]

fuck mexico

[AztecPrince95]

@ShawnToTheSullivan No wonder the whole world hates the U.S. 'Cause of dumb intolerant comments like the one you made. I know YouTube is the best place to say anything you want because you have the protection of being anonymous but I have come to figured out that over 80% of the dumb comments here are made by retarded teenagers. I mean a dumb teenager was hte one who took down the Mexican Flag, you are a dumb coward.

[smkwaterjack]

@AztecPrince95 If he was a coward he would have said nothing, it has nothing to do with hate. the rest of the world hates the US because even dispite our economic problems we are still the greatest country in the world, It's a matter of them being jealous of our success and Freedom. You think these people are teeneagers? How arrogant and ignorant of you. Grow up and quit dragging your nuckles on the floor when you walk you brainless simian.

[AztecPrince95]

@smkwaterjack He's a coward because he says it over the internet you dumb redneck, so if I say FUCK YOU Im not a coward? haha The rest of the world hates the U.S not because they are jealous -_- they hate the U.S because we invade their countries, kill innocent people, and act as if we were the police of the world!

[AztecPrince95]

@smkwaterjack You need to get your head out of your ass and realize this, stop being a ignorant asshole. The teen that took down the Mexican Flag is a racist little prick that just wanted to throw the Mexican Flag away. We are in a civilized country, he should not have taken it down. He is just a teenage redneck.

[Rhino196669]

I SALUTE you Mr. Morris! You're a HERO!

[tbryant99]

This isn't about it being "typical Texan sh@t" or intolerance. It's about school being for education purposes.

Before you snipe at me, understand this, my grandfather was 100% Ukranian. However, he was a huge fan of integrating to the American culture and had great American pride. We did not ever push our culture on others. I would never have dreamed of asking my school if I could display the Ukranian flag on a holiday. He came to the US to be an AMERICAN not to bring the Ukraine here.

[fxhart]

Good job kid, the military needs people like you.

[tremley6]

Here is the real story! - The boys room ran out of toilet paper and nick needed the mex flag to wipe his ass!

[BEARARMZ]

wow you put a flag of another country. my school use to put polish flags and flags from ncultures. no one said anything, because it was only for the holiday. typical texan shit.

[middleriverdwd]

@BEARARMZ What school (provide name of school and location) that allowed a Polish National Flag to fly above the U.S. flag on their grounds. Also, if you can, try to write a complete sentence. Otherwise, some of us here may think you're an idiot.

[BEARARMZ]

@middleriverdwd my high school in illinois. also, if you read what i wrote then you would understand that i said they put up the flags ONLY during a holiday. i never said that it flew above the US flag. it wasnt even near the US flag. some people in the US are tolerant.

[middleriverdwd]

@BEARARMZ Then it actually is no comparison to this situation. Clearly you think having another nation's flag on grounds (holiday or not is irrelevant) is the same as flying it above the American flag. I can assure you, it is not.

[BEARARMZ]

@middleriverdwd no the guy in the video does since he went through all that trouble to take it down and throw it away.

[middleriverdwd]

@BEARARMZ It is obvious that you're not mature enough to understand what actions are "illegal" or what exactly is "protocol" or what is the concept of "patriotism". I will try to help you with your problem. We have laws that not even school administrators can dismiss without repercussions. There are protocols for how to display our Nation's flag and patriotism is the act our young Mr Morris demonstrated. Comprende?

[tbryant99]

@BEARARMZ No, some people in the US have lost their sense of pride for our nation and what it stands for. This has lead to jobs in border states being harder to find for legal American citizens because they don't speak Spanish, drug cartels running rampant along our border, al Qaida and Taliban members crossing over into our country from a nation that believes this land is theirs anyways so why should they stop it. Other country's flags have no business being displayed or flown in public school

[BEARARMZ]

@tbryant99 even if the flag was from ireland, germany, or poland??

[tbryant99]

@BEARARMZ Yes. Roosevelt said it best "We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here...shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else... But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. ...There can be no divided allegiance here. ... and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."

[BEARARMZ]

@tbryant99 good quote

[tbryant99]

@BEARARMZ Thank you. I fear too many Americans have lost sight of this ideology and is therefore adding to the division of our nation instead of the uniting of it.

[BEARARMZ]

@tbryant99 yeah man i understand. alot of people think that because someone is from another country that they dont love this country. my dad was an immigrant and i have to tell you im glad he chose this country to come too. i wouldnt wanna live anywhere else. alot of people talk shit about immigrants but i understand that its nothing new. the italians and irish got shit when they came here on the boat many years ago. people are always gonna pick on the new kid on the block.

[BEARARMZ]

@tbryant99 besides at least there not muslims tryin put sharia law. =)

[anonymouspeanut88]

When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.

[leadarrows]

What is civilized about putting an American flag upside down and below the Mexico one on American soil? And yes we were offended.

[leadarrows]

If anyone thinks we will not defend our flags rightful position in our country you are the fool. Our countrymen and women have fought and died for that flag and will continue to do so. Nick did the right thing and we Americans...the real ones thank him.

[AztecPrince95]

I agree that the Mexican Flag should not be flying higher than the American Flag but this kid should NOT have taken it down, please try and act respectful and civilized. Obviously people would be offended and why is a flag going to hurt you? Just foolishness....

[ljoycole]

@AztecPrince95 Evidentally you do think like a Princess.....Maybe you should move to Mexico, as well as the ones who insist on flying the Mexican flag....however, never think you can fly it over the American!!!!! You are an idiot.

[AztecPrince95]

@ljoycole Did you read my comment or are you just plain stupid? I said it was wrong to put the Mexican Flag there but this brat should not have taken it down, we are in a civilized country not hillbillie town which is where you probably live. He can't just go around taking flags down and throwing them in the trash afterwords, people will be offended. You are the real idiot.

[shandi411]

I am disgusted at how the media sways this. They don't mention that the reason he got mad and took it down was because it was hanging HIGHER than the American flag that was displayed in the school, and displaying another country's flag higher than the American flag is actually illegal. He didn't object to the flag. He objected to where it was hung. Media needs to quit swaying things - I'm sure they are trying to make him look "anti Mexico" when really he isn't. He is just "pro America".

[Roninlord25a]

@shandi411 sorry dude but based on that photo I do not see an American flag anywhere near the Mex flag. The law reflects that you cannot hang another flag on a flag pole above or higher then our countries flag or near by flag pole. I hear what your saying but based on the photo, I do not see our American flag. I do not believe in celebrating these retarded holidays and months ect. so I am all for what the kid did.

[shandi411]

@Roninlord25a The American flag was to the right on the wall. They were in close proximity and the boy checked the laws and rules first. I remember this all clearly from last year. I don't like how the media is wanting us to think he took he down just because it was Mexico's flag. Had it been hung properly, he wouldn't have touched it. The media LOVES to stir up controversy though by omitting important points to stories. Also, I'm not a dude. I'm a dudette! :)

[MrRegCor]

Nick Morris, thanks for your courage and for NOT backing down.

[Rhino196669]

@MrRegCor , He's a HERO in my book!

[CaptainIsaacDavis]

As it turns out May 5th celebrates the Mexican Army's victory at the battle of Puebla in 1862 against invading French forces. September 16th is Mexican Independence Day. Personally i still like Quartro De July ' O.

[ljoycole]

@CaptainIsaacDavis But....do we care? or is it only another day to drink and celebrate something.....If they want to celebrate, go to Mexico! or better still go sit in a bar and drink and don't use Cinco de Mayo as an excuse.

[84ndman]

Thankyou for doing the right thing and being brave enough to do so. Thankyou for going into the military, as a veteran I am proud to see people still have pride in their country.

[ThymzaWayston]

Yay for this student. I am appalled that school officials would do such a thing,,,,,they should be fired.

[ljoycole]

@ThymzaWayston

I AGREE....and anyone else who wants to degrade our country....GET OUT!

[MarijuanaCommunity]

@ThymzaWayston Get fired over a rag flag.lol get a life dude
