Hundreds ride with boy to show support for his U.S.-flag-decorated bike after school banned it

Courtesy KOVR:

It wasn't this California boy's usual ride to school this morning!
Hundreds of other bike riders came along---
Many of them veterans, and some from out of state, all wanting to show support to 13-year-old Cody Alicea.
School officials had told Cody he shouldn't ride his American flag-decorated bike to school because some students were offended.
That kicked up a firestorm of protest.
The school superintendent has since apologized, and promised that something like that will not happen again.




But the school district is now facing a lawsuit from a civil liberties group.

While I respect cultural pride, I cannot support equal time for other flags of other countries unless it is a meeting of leadership of various countries. Everyone comes to the United States to enjoy and participate in the life we have here. By leaving your respective country you leave the symbols of that world behind except for within the boundaries of your own home. That I would honor displayed within your home. Cody I am proud of you!

Actually they looked pretty healthy.

You know. . .this place we live in. . .it's called America. . .and well you see. . .most people who live in America love America because it's better than most countries because of the freedom it provides. Yeah, see sometimes they like to show how much they love their country, especially when a pack of Marxists decide to offend people and ban patriotic things for stupid (Marxist) reasons.

Did I clear things up for you?
