Ask Minneapolis South High School to replace the American Flag

Created by S.Z. on November 05, 2015

At the beginning of the 2015-16 school year, Minneapolis South removed the American flag and replaced it with the Somalian flag in the school's lunchroom. They gave the Somalian flag front-and-center position and a brand new silver pole but moved the American flag to a dark corner with a plastic pole (with a 99¢ price tag still attached.) This act was disgraceful and disrespectful not only to the men and women who serve our country but to anyone who calls it home. This isn't the first time such an incident has occured. It is rumored this was done so that the somalians wouldn't start another riot like the one in the 2012-13 year. That doesn't make it acceptible. The American flag should have front and center status. It's covered by the flag code and it's our home. The Somali flag is not.
