Students Trash 9/11 Flag Tribute After Mistaking It as Display Against Black Lives Matter

quote:

Some Florida high school students reportedly trashed a flag display, set on campus as a tribute for 9/11 victims, after deeming it as an offense against Black Lives Matter. The group of students at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale pulled out the flags and threw them away, thinking that the display was meant to support Blue Lives Matter, Local 10 News reported. Principal Denise Aloma told Local 10 News that a group of students and parents installed blue and red striped flags in honor of 9/11 first responders, including firefighters and police who died during the 2001 attack. Some students were against dumping the flags in the trash, with one student saying "they disrespected the flag," according to the news outlet.

quote:

"The presence of the flags was intended for remembrance only, however, some students felt these flags were not appropriate," said Aloma, according to Local 10 News. "An important teaching moment is upon us and the students involved have had the opportunity to express their feelings. ... In addition, each student has been invited to speak to our school's diversity inclusion sensitivity committee to provide further understanding."


Another student clarified that this action was done in the belief that "the school was racist for doing that kind of thing when in reality it had nothing to do with race, it had to do with 9/11." A petition has been launched calling for disciplinary action against the students who trashed the flags.

But God forbid someone take down a fricking BLM anything.

Damn right it's a teaching moment, but those little fricksticks having nothing to teach anyone. Time for them to learn something about respect.

frick those kids. They’re brainwashed assholes that are of the firm belief that the flag represents racism. These are not people that we will be able to get along with and the scary part is that they are within a couples years of voting. This shite is a disgrace.

Time for a got old fashioned butt beating. It doesn't matter why the flags were there, it isn't their property to damage but to double down on a remembrance for fallen heroes...The only thing that belongs in the trash is BLM.

100% agree...and the school should provide a teaching moment and express their feelings by suspending the F out of those students.

And that teaching moment should have been supervising their asses putting all of the flags right back where they came from...and then expelled for a week to think about it.

These kids need a “scared straight”, 9/11 style. Make them listen to those last phone calls made from plane passengers. Show them the people having to make the choice between burning alive or leaping to their death from the 90th floor. Ask them “what if this was your mother”

Democrats have conditioned a generation+ of young Americans to view their own flag as an intolerable provocation. Think about the implications of that.
