A 12-year-old boy was kicked out of his class in Colorado because he had a Gadsden flag sticker on his backpack.
An official with the Vanguard School, a charter school in Colorado Springs, told the boy’s mother that he was kicked out of class over the flag “due to its origins with slavery and the slave trade” and insisted that she was “following district policy,” according to a video of their meeting posted to social media by Connor Boyack, president of the Libertas Institute, a libertarian think tank.
“Meet 12yo Jaiden who was kicked out of class yesterday in Colorado Springs for having a Gadsden flag patch, which the school claims has ‘origins with slavery,’” Boyack said in the Tuesday post.
I saw that video and it was hilarious! The school administrator had NO CLUE about the actual history. Then she go totally schooled by the mom! Victory for facts and sanity vs the lunatics running around with their noses in the air.
Wrong!
