School Orders Student To Remove American Flag From His Bike, But They Never Expected THIS To Happen...
By Timfly
Cody Alicea,13, had been flying the flag on the back of his bicycle for almost two months to show support for veterans like his grandfather, Robert Alicea.
School officials at Denair Middle School told Cody he would no longer be allowed to display the flag, citing complaints from other students.
Now, after a public outcry, the school has decided that the grand old flag can come back.
Superintendent Edward Parraz says the school was trying to avoid racial tensions that stemmed from a "little issue" that arose when Hispanic students brought Mexican flags to school on Cinco De Mayo.
Cody says he complied with the request to avoid trouble, but he asked the school to reconsider because he believed the decision was wrong.
Apparently, he wasn't alone...
