I called the Apache Junction school district, confirmed the event and let them know I support the kids taking down the Mexican flag and disposing of it. If anyone else wants to show support for the kids, here is the number to the school district. The staff was very nice and sounded very happy to hear support for the kids, please be nice.

Apache Junction Unified School District.

UPDATE ON FLAG BURNING

From Hum Drum News Rag:
Residents close to the incident involving the burning of a Mexican flag at a local highschool are up in arms and very angry do to some serious side effects the indicent has caused. Apparently there was a gentle breeze out of the south that day and at least 15 homes on the north side of the school have reported a foul smell in their homes due to the smoke.

"It smells like burned refried beans!" Explains Wilma Berk, who owns a home north of the school.

This is not an iscolated incident, while on scene other home owners complained the smoke contaminated their homes also. The smell has been refered to as anything from burnt refried beans, to the smell of burned cooking grease.

Because this flag was owned by a Mexican, city officals are recommending not burning Mexican flags unless they are purchased new from an American owned retailer with a good reputation.

"We just don't know where these flags have been." states Ready Eddy an EPA rep, who was refering to Mexican owned flags. "No telling what type of toxic waste the smoke could have in it."

Make sure to buy the COTTON flags to burn rather than the nylon ones.

The cotton are more expensive, but will burn properly. The nylon ones just melt.

If Mexico gets half of its money thru Mexicans working in the US sending money home, why not make it illegal to send money to Mexico?

IF WE CAN'T STOP THEM COMING, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WE CAN STOP THEM FROM SENDING MONEY BACK?

We are still working on it. Don`t worry though its in subcommittee.

A new political awareness among students has also been grabbing attention, as thousands have walked out on classes to join rallies in Phoenix and elsewhere. More than 100 students from Mesa's Carson Junior High and Westwood High schools marched in protest on Mesa streets Tuesday.

If it's ok for the war protestors to burn the American flag then I the kids that burned the Mexican flag shouldn't be in trouble either...especially if it was inproperly displayed above the American flag.

Yup. They just "fixed the glitch".

Back in the early days of AR15.com, I went off on raven in a spit-flying, keyboard-toasting, napalm-fueled rant about something he had posted, when all along he was poking fun.

In other words, put down the noose and step back away from the lamp post.

I called and got through to a 'Karen' in the Superintendant's office. She was very gracious and thanked me for calling.

Mr. Wilson,

My name is The_Reaper, and I work for XXX in Iowa.

I recently heard that one of your students raised the flag of Mexico
above the United States flag, only to have it lowered and destroyed
by another student.

First, let me say that when I was in high school, I would have been
punished for touching the flag pole.

Second, I would have been punished even harsher for raising any
flag, let alone the flag of another country, above the United States flag.

The person who raised the Mexico flag was essentially being treasonous.
I know, boys will be boys. However, there is a saying about not defecating
where you sleep. This is America, after all.

There are specific laws regarding the display of flags.
The student who raised the flag of Mexico broke these rules,
and possibly broke some laws.

With all of this "zero tolerance" you are faced with, I'm not sure how
you will handle this situation. I certainly wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
But if I were, I would use this as an opportunity to make
an example of two students.

The student who raised the flag of Mexico should be punished
fairly for the "crime". While some might think that the punishment
for treason should be death by firing squad, I will reiterate that
boys will be boys. Make this student responsible for raising the
American flag for the remainder of the school year.

The student that lowered and destroyed the flag of Mexico
should not be punished at all.

I know that you want to do what you can to squash future outbursts of
vigilantism. But at the same time, I believe the general American public
would agree that the student who lowered the Mexico flag is somewhat
of a hero. Do you really want to punish that?

I have to question how a student managed to be the first on the scene
to lower the foreign flag, instead of another faculty member?

My opinion is that the student who lowered the flag should be treated the
same as if he saw your United States flag was under attack by any other
threat, and was acting to protect it.

Sincerely,

The_Reaper

Just called in at the number provided above; spoke with Lisa in information, who was very nice and seemed on the side of the American kids; I expressed my support for them. She confirmed that the US flag had been hauled down by the mexicans and replaced with the mexican flag.

The kids did the right thing; enough is enough, and we've all got to take a stand.

It'd be nice to get the kids who replaced the US Flag to its rightful position flags that flown over the Capitol. They are not expensive (like $28 including shipping). I'm pretty strapped, but I'd chip in a few bucks. If they get punished, they get punished for doing the right thing.

Good idea, but unfortunately the way the Capitol is being run these days, its not quite the honor it once was....

Maybe a better one would be one that flew over the Arizona, where real Americans gave their lives...not politicians who are in it for themselves....

Sorry, just don't have much respect for most of those who inhabit the Capitol these days....

Is that not how it starts? With one man saying "enough, I have had enough!" And that may be what it takes to show us how stupid the system is. Were the Mexicans expelled for a treasonous act, no cause that would make the school system racist now wouldn't it?

I wouldn't have been so bold as to burn their flag, okay I would burn it but only if you guys were there to cover me.

This is the United State of America.

If you want to be loyal to Mexico, then live there.

If you live here, you must obey our laws, respect our culture, way of life, and history.

Flying the flag of another country above ours, in our own country, is a slap in the face, and should be dealt with.
