High School seniors deface flag.

They spray painted a large American flag in black "Seniors 2K18" and hung it front the school entrance. The principal was all, I'm going to break their scrawny little necks, then realized maybe they'll respond to veterans talking to them about what the flag means.

It looks like 2K181 to me.

Bless their little hearts. They didn't make the connection between the flag and veterans. They never thought about what the flag means to people. They hadn't been taught. They didn't know. O2B17.

The video and the posts are titled, "A teachable moment."

How Oprah Winfrey. But it actually is a teachable moment.



They're not punks. They got far as high school senior and had not been taught. Of course, to some being taught would amount to being brainwashed. So, now what? They're likely to go off and vote for the likes of Trump.

This is only half the video.

Two-minute video on Fox News Insider. (You have to click "read the full article" for the video to show.) The fuller two minute version really is interesting.

"They hadn't been taught."

So true. In many ways we are tabula rosas. Patriotism too has to be taught. Do kids still pledge allegiance to the flag at the start of each school day? That's how it's done. Not by lecturing, by repetition of a ritual. The repetition imprints patriotism and makes what these kids did, blacking the flag, an unthinkable sacrilege.

Oops, tabula rasas.

They have been taught, that's the point.

Watching Lefty creeps deface the flag all their lives without knowing there's such a thing as flag etiquette is how the media teaches kids like this about what the cool kids do.

He isn't named Hogg by accident.

PS tabulae rasae.

Great post Chip. Thanks.

The fact is kids are taught to disrespect the flag by commie teachers. That is why they kneel during the Anthem.

The ultra liberal teachers union just infects these kids with hatred of their country. It is only in more conservative sections of this nation that some semblance of balance can be found.

Like her royal behindness once remarked: “All that for a flag?”

I'm not a fan of flag respect, particularly when it's demanded. A bad custom.

Flag discipline is a military thing. Selfless, all for the team, so that you work as a team under command.

It's not appropriate for citizens elsewhere. Think for yourself, you're being had. Somebody wants something.

Just look at any politician giving a speech with 12 flags in the background for color. That's what the flag is worth in civilian life, an empty claim of virtue.
