A San Diego State University student was forced to remove the American flag from his balcony by his apartment complex.
The student, Brad Smith, received the notice to remove the flag one month after moving in into the Boulevard 63 Apartments
“We were then told that it was for political reasons and that the flag could offend foreign people that live here, foreign exchange students,” Smith stated.
Help me here. What country are we in? America? Who’s flag should be flying in the land of the free and the home of the brave? Mexican or Muslim? Naaaa so sing along and try to give the California High Schools and the court some backbone and patriotism!
The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics
By Francis Scott Key 1814
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
NO, …..not in this country, …….Take it back now, if they are offended, too bad this is our Flag, not yours, leave go back where you came from and you won’t be offended. This country was built on this emblem, and is considered a living thing so leave it alone, or else!!!!!!!!!!!…..:{)
We are not a muslim country. We are the United States of America and we are proud of our American flag.
FLY THEM ANYWAY
Do they want all countries to give up their flags?
Fly the Flag…Be Proud of it !!! If foreigners find offense…go back where u came from.
Try to take MY flag down and see what happens to you.
I got 7… I do believe that makes a herd, especially when it’s time to go outside or back inside LOL
Yes. It’s a shame that America has come to these kinds of means. This should be a given.
