First they came...

...for the Confederate flag, and people didn't speak up because they didn't want to seem "prejudiced."

Then they came for Christian symbolism, and people didn't speak up, because they didn't want to seem "intolerant."

Then they came for anything depicting criticism of Islam, and people didn't speak up because it's increasingly difficult to tell which Muslims are likely to try to kill you if you do...

Then they came for the American flag, and I begin to wonder if it's too late to speak up at all...


When another nation's colors take precedence over yours in your own public schools, it's a good sign your country has jumped the shark. I'm sure the boys' critics will claim they were provocative. After all, standing up for yourself usually is. All kids are learning in school these days is that the mere threat of violence is enough to get your way.
