One thing that we have learned with all of the discussions about flags, is that the term snowflake is not solely for liberals.

Being married to an educator I can say that then best course of action is to keep personal opinions off of social media .

This is a really odd thread. Even Justice Scalia understood why this was okay.

Regardless of profession, that is a good idea. All it does is bite you in the ass.

How many kids walked by that flag and not one had the guts to pick it up.

You have an odd definition of guts. I would say that most of the kids didn't notice, or didn't care.

You want kids to vandalize a school display?

Thank goodness those married to an educator do not follow said advice lest our loss of a great poster.

If this was a Malcolm X flag taken off the wall and put on the floor, you would be ok with it?

What is wrong with the analogy as it relates to NAS. He is proud of what Malcolm X stands for as many Americans (not many on these boards) are proud of what the flag stands for.

I put this in the category of people who depict Christ in an offensive way or those Muhammad cartoons. They are perfectly acceptable under our Constitution, and I will always defend those wishing to do such. However, these folks are simply trying to offend others who have deep held beliefs in those symbols/people. It just doesn't mesh well with a civilized society. I'd say the same thing for people that fly Confederate flags.

I would pick it up. I guess that is the difference between you and me.

Its a person, not the flag of a sovereign nation. It's two completely different things. The Supreme Court has never heard a case on "desecrating" a Malcolm X flag...or a Cubs, Bears, or Raiders flag.

People wrap the flag in all types of crap and no one blinks an eye. NOW many people care about the flag more than the document it represents. That document is more important than the flag and that document says doing all types of dumb shit to the flag is acceptable.

It is more than Elgin. Add in a few more towns, including Bartlett.
