Wyoming Students Launch ‘America Pride Day’ Despite Principal Forbidding it

-By Warner Todd Huston

Administrators at a Wyoming high school decided that their school shouldn’t have a day to celebrate American pride and so canceled the school’s “America Pride Day.” Fortunately, the students thought better of their administration’s anti-American sentiment and held their pride day anyway!


Some of the kids at Jackson Hole High observed America Pride Day despite the administration’s ban of the day.

Naturally the un-American, PC-infected, limp-wristed principal of Jackson Hole High School in Jackson, Wyoming was afraid that if the school had a day where students celebrated the American flag that *some* kids *might* feel “excluded.” So, he canceled the America pride day and tried to ban the American flag.

Fortunately the kids told him to shove it and dozens of them came to school on the designated day wearing red, white, and blue decorations and carrying Old Glory despite the lilly-livered principal’s hand-wringing idiocy.

In defiance, one kid even drove his truck through the parking lot festooned with multiple flags.

“It’s homecoming week and our school administration thought it was too ‘offensive’ to have an America Pride Day! So this is my kids answer to that!” Parent Ted Dawson said with a Facebook post about the incident. “Where have we gone so wrong! I don’t care what race or religion you are, you live here, benefit from the schools, enjoy tax benefits or whatever–your [sic] an American or at least you better be!”

So, what was the school principal’s reason for saying that some kids might be upset at seeing a U.S. flag? Principal Scott Crisp says that some kids are “Latino” and the U.S. flag might make them mad.

School Activities Director Mike Hanson defended the move to ban patriotism in the school. “Many different students could have felt singled out. Maybe they moved here last week. Maybe they moved here last month,” he burbled. “We’re trying to balance many different things here. We’re trying to be inclusive and safe, make everyone feel welcome.”

So, being American and having pride in the U.S.A. isn’t “safe” or “inclusive” to this dolt?

It’s all just another example showing that our public schools have become bastions of anti-Americanism and are filled with “administrators” that hate America and want to have a hand in its destruction.

Kudos to these kids for sticking their fingers in the eyes of these America hating administrators.
