A rally is taking place at Ridgeline High School Wednesday in response to a student cutting down a pride flag during the school's Diversity Week.

How did the pride flag cover an actual country, is it just me or is humanity evolving backwards instead of fowards

[jameswinterbottom]

In today’s insane level of ubiquitous liberal dogma, this takes courage

[brutaeth]

Love the fact that the people were cheering him on. Awesome guy

[Scrch]

The fact they covered the Cuban flag makes this even worse. Man’s a legend.

[ADrunkCrayfish]

Why did they cover another flag though?

[hehincredible]

That’s so disrespectful





To put the pride flag over our glorious flag

[ONCICOLA]

Imagine caring more about sexuality than a whole country 💀💀💀

[caffeinefreemtndew]

This is great, definitely sounds like a mixed reaction, not just "outrage"

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaapj]

If people say its disrespectful, its more disrespectful to cover up the cuba flag

[bouryoku]

They could’ve put the flag somewhere else instead of covering Cuba’s flag

[RealDbearGaming]

This is so disrespectful








To cover a cuba flag with an lgbtq flag

[joey]

The fact that people were cheering him on was just perfect.

2 years later and i still watch this video regularly, as someone who attends a school in this area i couldn't be more proud, this kids a hero!

[GeneralHAWXX]

I fully support that kid bringing down that flag. Here is why. That pride flag shouldn’t have never been covering another country’s flag period. There is no reason why an unofficial flag should be covering the official flag of another country. That is very disrespectful. Not only that but this is America that leaves a horrible impression.

[ServoDestroyer]

The student's reaction, cheering, says it all.
Freedom of speech and protest.
It's good to see the youth exercising that cherished first amendment right.

How is personality more important than a country who fought for pepeole

[vasypowerhouse]

I find it very hypocritical that some people only see the fact that cut down an LGBTQ flag ignoring the fact that the flag was completely covering Cuba flag... what if it was the opposite? What if a country flag would cover the LGBTQ flag and then someone would cut off the flag of that country cause it covered the LGBTQ flag?
Hypocrisy at its finest.

Venezuelan here! Im here to support cubans and all others!

[talofaholbrook]

Why was the flag this kid took down covering the Puerto Rican flag?

[victorahio]

this is so disrespectful





when the gay flag was covering another country flag.
