A Colorado high school student wants an explanation from school officials after reportedly being told by security guards to remove American flags from his truck because they might make other students uncomfortable.
Jeremy Stoppel told Denver's KMGH-TV he received a ticket at Northglenn High School last Thursday for squealing his tires and subsequently had his parking lot pass suspended for two weeks. But he also was told by a campus security guard to remove two U.S. flags -- each 3-by-5 feet -- from the bed of his pickup truck. "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 told KMGH-TV. "How do you suppose anyone would feel uncomfortable in America with an American flag? That's where I'm confused." Stoppel said he began flying the flags last week and wants to keep them for the upcoming 9/11 anniversary in honor of his cousin who is serving in the Navy. Stoppel and his father now want an apology from the security supervisor. "To me, she's just threatening him, hoping that she can just bully him so he'll just take 'em down and just put his tail between his legs and say, 'I'm done. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry,' Dan Stoppel told the station. "And that's just not gonna happen." 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." http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/09/05/colorado-student-reportedly-told-remove-flags/?test=latestnews  I would retain an attorney and sue. I wouldn't stop until I have everything that Guard has, and she gets fired. I would also have her wages garnished at any future jobs.

wow, so much for the great country of freedom she told him he SHOULD Take the flags down,, omg, the horror,,, who should we sue first, the SECURITY GUARD(who generally makes little more than ten an hour if they are lucky) for giving an opinion,,,or the school for hiring someone that dared to give their opinion,,,or the district for having a school that hired someone that might give their opinion I agree, it was stupid logic and (as I have said before) that student shouls be able to do whatever he wants with his property on his car(whatever that property is) ,,,but people put too much drama into symbols and not enough into actions if the guard was out of her authority to speak, than her employer should use whatever process is in place for such an offense, taking away her livelihood for an opinion is hardly rational, unless it has happened more than once, otherwise it is worthy of on the job correction and a warning,,,,,but thats just my opinion |

Also this is America, that is our flag. So yes she should be sued. |

How drastic is this?  All this from someone with the hopes of pursuing a political career, yikes.
