Quote:"Colorado Governor Jared Polis also shared his thoughts about the controversy, “The Gadsden flag is a proud symbol of the American revolution and a iconic warning to Britain or any government not to violate the liberties of Americans. It appears on popular American medallions and challenge coins through today and Ben Franklin also adopted it to symbolize the union of the 13 colonies. It’s a great teaching moment for a history lesson!” he wrote on X."
The Democratic governor is looking for trouble, he's gonna get canceled by the DNC.
That highlighted line drives the crazies MAD because the flag has been used as a warning to D.C.tyrants too.
You've got to give that kid some credit for standing his ground and figuratively flipping the finger to the lefties in the administration. He even did this:
Quote:After Jaiden was kicked out of school for refusing to cooperate, he stood next to a staff member’s car to expose the school’s hypocrisy. The school employee has bumper stickers on the car promoting far-left agenda, such as “Make America Green Again” and “I’D RATHER BE SLOWLY CONSUMED BY MOSS.”
UPDATE: Colorado School Board Votes to Allow Young Kid to Wear “Don’t Tread on Me” Patch on School Grounds
By Jim Hᴏft Aug. 29, 2023 9:25 pm
Quote:The Vanguard School Board of Directors in Colorado Springs has voted to allow a young student to wear a “Don’t Tread on Me” patch on his school backpack.
The Gateway Pundit reported in a now-viral video that the Vanguard School in Colorado Springs told 12-year-old Jaiden (last name withheld) that he had to remove the flag because it has “origins with slavery” and was “disruptive to the classroom environment.” When he refused, the child was dismissed.
“The reason that they do not want the flag reason we do not want the flag is due to its origins with the revolution, slavery, and slave trade,” the school administrator told Jaiden’s mom, Eden Rodriguez.
“It has nothing to do with slavery, that’s like the Revolutionary War patch that was enslaved when they were fighting the British,” Ms. Rodriguez refuted.
The school, not surprisingly, butchers the Gadsden flag’s history. It originated on a warship in 1775 as a battle cry for American independence from British rule. The flag became a symbol for America during the fight for their freedom.
The news gets more asinine, though. The Vanguard School then admitted that the Gadsden flag did not originally have a racial context but claimed without evidence racists had successfully hijacked its meaning.
