    Why do we have to "recognize" the "nationality" of students by posting other flags; aren't they all Americans? That's the flag they should be honoring! When I was in school I don't remember the flag of Italy flying next to the American flag, it was the American flag that was flown and only the American flag! My grandparents were born in Italy, but they were as proud as I was, and maybe more so, to be Americans; my grandfather was never without his American flag pin on his suit or shirt lapel – that's patriotism!!

    Well I guess according to this intelligent principal, Native American Indians would be the only qualifiers not requiring a separate flag be flown lest they be offended.

    I am proud that America is a land of all nations and faiths but once here it is the American flag that we live under and protect. When these people from other countries come here looking for opportunity and don't find it it is there own fault and can leave and go back the same way they came, of course if they are legal in the first place.
