What in the devil does the flag have to do with safety of the students? If the person who came up with that question is a Fox employee, he or she should be fired. What kind of kid drool, kid babble, kid talk is thatl. Stay in school, the tassel is worth the hassel. Ban the flag? And to think I wore the uniform for fools such as this to be able to pose such a question. Just an ole Vets opinon.

Ban the flag ? Who comes up with this stupid stuff. If you don;t like the flag in school. Homeschool your kids. Don't forget this is Land of the free. Don't come to this country and decide you don't like it. Go home or shut up

You've been handed another line of BS by this establishment. Obama's whole agenda is raising it's ugly head again! We know he and Michele hate this country, and are going to do everything they can to destroy it from within. When you have SEIU, the union leaders dining with you every day, the disenchanted and uneducated and poor being used by them, you will have a great voting machine. We have to be very careful America, for to say this is a one term President, may not be so after all. It is a shame that our country has produced some of the greatest men in the world, but it has also produced some of the laziest (don't think, work, do anything useful with their lives, just live off of the government). Personally, just being retired makes me feel guilty that I'm not productive in some way. The Lord has told us, "if we don't work, we don't eat", but how many nowadays give a hoot what "He" says. Keep that flag flying high America, or we will be totally destroyed from within.

IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR CHILDREN KNOWING AMERICA THEN DONT BRING THEM HERE TO LEARN !!! WHAT DID OUR FATHERS ,MOTHERS,SISTER,BROTHERS,SONS AND DAUGHTER FIGHT AND DIE FOR? FOR THEM TO COME TO AMERCIA AND TAKE OUR FLAG ?????????
This is the United States of America, not Mexico, not any other country. If you don't like our beliefs, rules, traditions, etc. then GET OUT!!! We wouldn't come to Mexico and expect you to take down your countries flag or go to any other country for that matter and expect them to take down their flag becasue it's "THEIR" country. Our fore fathers should be rolling in their graves.

This isn't even worth a comment it is so ludicrous. People in this poll want to ban the American flag from schools for fear of offending Hispanics who are here illegally to start with? WOW!!!! This country is filled with more idiots than I thought. I never thought I would live to see the day that special interest groups would stoop so low as to to defame our flag and our country for a bunch of foreigners and illegal aliens. Where does this end? Have you got nothing better to do than waste your time defending people that dont belong here to start with? I feel nothing but shame for the morons that support this notion.

The idea that we should apologize for our national identity because Mexican (or Mexican-American or any other Hyphenated-American ) students feelings will be hurt by the display of our national flag is rediculous! They should learn American history and why the flag of our nation is held in high esteem. I remember a saying back in the 70's- America, Love it or Leave it!

Why in the world would we want to banned the flag. If you do not want to do the pledge you do not have to. So why take others people rights away from them. Even in school the children do not have to if for some reason they do not want to, but everyone else should not have their rights taken away. Just like God should be left alone why take the rights of the people to say and use God when every they want. Peoples rights go both ways!!

Fly our flag, be proud of it or LEAVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY.

Former Marine. This nation is one nation made up of native born and those who chose to become American. Like other nations we have only one national flag for which many of us served. A civil war was fought that settled once and for all that we are one nation. when one chooses to become an american he renounces his loyalty to his former country, as many have done. No one can serve two masters, nor can one serve two nations. You are American or you are not. America, serve it and love it or, leave it. The flag. Long may it wave in the class room, the public square and every place where people love the freedom for which it stands. walk not on the blood of those who gave the ultimate for us all.

Ban American Flag in school. What are we communists now? It's our country. Growing up, we actually said a daily prayer followed by singing our anthem. It placed values on me and a deep appreciation for all that we stand for. How about one of the most important things, FREEDOM, Baby! FREEDOM!
I come from a military family. I fully understand our freedom and how through the years, we have fought and died protecting that. Every American school age citizen should honor and pledge allegance to OUR FLAG. ban the flag. really? We took out a prayer, what next? Look at our generation now and ask me that again. HONOR, PRIDE, AMERICA. Don't like it, get the hell out!

Idiotic questions like this don't surprise me when you have, and I cringe when I use the term President and First Lady who blatantly disrespect the flag. When you disrespect the American flag, you disrespect the men and women who have served whether in the Marine Corp., Air Force, Army, Navy, or Coast Guard. You disrespect every man and woman who gave their life while serving in the armed forces, no matter what branch, no matter what war.
I would like to see the highly paid sports figures start to set an example for our youth by removing their helmet/cap, placing their hand over their heart when the National Anthem is played. And if they aren't American citizens, fine stand still be respectful, or take the next flight back to where you came from. We don't need you.
The American people need to take back our country, from the illegals who propagate, to disrespect us, and our flag, the flag of our nation.
So, if you don't like it here, bye, bye. We won't miss you.
And how many days until we can vote the jerk out of office?

What are people thinking. Alot of good people lost their lives fighting for the right to fly the flag and for our freedoms. We need to be proud of the flag and our right to display it.
We need to fly it everywhere and say the pledge of alligence in schools too. Teach them to
be proud. Their ancestors may have fought for their freedoms.

That there is any 'discussion' is a reflection on just what a miserable mess we are in , in this country! The flippant, rude and STUPID comments being made are indicative of the vitriole, the hatred and the disrespect for this country, our laws, values and citizens - felt by far too many who enjoy the benefits of living in America. To you all I urge and say ' get the hell out' and in the meantime STFU. None of you are welcome here - become a citizen or leave. America needs a change - and it should start with the removal of every single Member of Congress, their staffs, and the entire Administration. Then we all need to grow a pair and take back our country from the riff raff and haters such as those posting on here.

WE DONT GO TO YOUR COUNTRY AND TELL YOU THAT YOU CANT HAVE YOUR FLAG ANYWHERE YOU WANT IT SO DONT TELL US WHAT TO DO WITH OUR FLAG . GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY YOU CAME FROM IF YOU DONT LIKE OUR CUSTOMS CAUSE WE WONT CHANGE FOR NO ONE BUT GOD HIM SELF!!!!! FROM A TRUE AMERICAN, CECELIA. P.S.

Why in HELL are we worried about the hispanics' opinion. If the liberals didn't think that they are going to get their vote, the whole immigration problem would be non existent. I would like to see all our politicians thrown out and a new crop elected. It would be okay for a while until they learned how to lie, cheat and steal like the ones now in office. Party affiliation has little to do with it. They are professional politicians, bloodsuckers and cheats who want to fleece the American public and fill their own coffers and to hell with the American taxpayer.
After reading the above comments, I can't believe how hate filled America people have become of a Country that has given them so much. This is a great deal of the problem, we have a bunch of spoiled brates, ungrateful in every respect. The gull to even say that Bill O. should have sex with children shows how"MENTALLY SICK" our people have become. Our nation was founded on a Christian foundation. Now we are supposed to meet everybody else's need like a whimp that we have become. We have become a co-dependent nation of pansy's not standing up for a belief in our Country, and what we were founded upon.

I went to public school in the time when we read 10 verses of the Bible, said the Lord's Prayer and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. As I taught school for 35 years we saw all but the Pledge of Allegiance taken away. Who cares who's offended. Our Country! Love it or leave it; oh, and raise your right hand and swear (on your life) like many of us did to Uphold the Constitution of the United States. The stars and stripes should be in every classroom and in every public place and revered! "One Nation Under God ."

Why should we change out style of life to please them. Why should we hgave to teach other languages to our children because their kids can't speak ENGLISH.
If they don't love AMERICA then leave. You Have That Freedom!!!!!!

Are you guys serious? This is not real. No one is trying to ban the flag. This is just like the story Fox ran about a school district banning red and green, because they represented Christmas. There was no such school district. The story was manufactured. This poll is a product of fear mongering. There is not movement to ban the flag. This poll was created to spark irrational responses from people. Do you people really think this poll is based on an actual case?

Those who voted yes are either illegal immigrants, new legal immigrants, some foreigners commies, terrorists or the like. We Americans don't need you here. As a matter of fact we
Americans invite you to leave as soon as you get your next welfare check. When the s#%t hits
the fan and if we know who you are, you will not be safe here. Many of us are veterans and
we fought for our flag symbolic of our country and the people whom it represents. I guarantee
you it will never happen. We the people whom by that I mean real Americans will never, ever
allow this banning our flag to happen. Those who believe this could or would happen are very
naive, anyway.

What in the name of God are people thinking? Our flag represents a God fearing nation that allows us to stand proud and to be proud of our country, our service men and women, and the fact that we are a freedom nation. It sickens me to think that a few people can demand these changes and expect us to sit back and take it. If you don't want to live in America and honor our flag, and honor our ways of life please feel free to go back where you came from. For those of you born in America and want the flag banned try living in a country that will kill you if you don't abide by their rules. I will continue to fly the American flag and continue to have prayer, and continue to know and believe this is the greatest country on earth.

If the country they left is so much better...I'm sure you can go back!!!!!!!! We don't mind.

What in the heck is going on here? Whoever came up with this idea should be run out of the US on a rail!
Political correctness is a tool the elites use to enslave the people. The problem has been engineered by the elites. They create the problems in Mexico and also fund the education there where people are taught that the lands the US purchased in the Louisiana Purchase belong to them and are urged by their government to cross the border illegally and legally if possible to take back what is theirs.
Many do not come here wanting to be an american they just want to have the benefits that are promised by the elites. They come here still loyal to their country they are leaving. Our nation was founded upon the belief and principles of natural law and the rights we all our born with. Many Americans do not even hold these principles anymore and that is why our nation is crumbling.
Our government guided by the elites agenda has helped create many of the problems in Mexico and continue to make them worse with the so called war on drugs. The CIA, ATF, FBI, DEA and Border Patrol all help ship weapons to the cartels and ship drugs in and the banking cartel launders the money.
If the Mexicans had a bill of rights and a second amendment and their government did not teach them in schools to flee here to take what is "theirs" and allow them to do so they would have already been forced to make changes in their country. They are allowed to cross the border in to the States as a pressure release. Our federal government following the elites agenda allows them to come here to destabilize our country and economy and also create more people sympathetic to the globalist agenda.
The elites want a one world government, no more sovereign nations. This one world government will not be a pretty one like you see in Star Trek either. The elites with their foundations and organization think tanks have published books and other documents over the past 50+ years where they state their agendas. They want the world under one government, one currency. They want to deindustrialize the planet and reduce population to less than a billion. You can read publications such as the Club of Romes, Mankind At The Turning Point, Ecoscience : Population, Resources, Environment, by Obama's science Czar John P. Holdren. Also look up other publications from the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller etc. Think tanks such as CFR and others that have members who serve in government or advise governments.
Even on the corporate mainstream media all you hear recently is people calling for a global bank of the world. Now even the vatican is calling for it. If people do not wake up soon and get back to the principles and natural laws and common law this nation was founded upon our once great Republic is gone. We must demand of those we elect or those we plan on electing at a local, state, national level respect the constitution and bill of rights and actually vote according to them.

REALLY!?!?! I can't believe America would even consider banning the flag in schools. Was it not bad enough that we stopped saying the Pledge of Allegiance in schools? And people wonder why kids are the way they are today. They (kids and even some adults) have no pride and honor in being an American. They think that they are entitled to things that are really privileges. I truly have no problems with immigrants coming to the United States, but do it legally and by God, DO NOT come here and try to change how we live and what we do because it offends you. If it offends you that much, then go back to where you came from. If an American went to another country and tried to pull this $hit it would never stand! So don't come here and try to do it to us. America and Americans have been pushed around for too long and it is time we took a stand for our country, the future of our country, and the future of our kids. My husband, father, father-in-law, brother, brother-in-laws, and sister-in-law don't fight for this country and the people in it for it to be changed in the next minute.

Our flag represents our FREE country. Never before have I ever thought I would hear of such lameness. WE need to stand up for our rights and freedom.

I do not know what this country is coming to. If we continue to take away what America stands for and how we started. There will be no more America. We should not let the few dictate our present and future. IN GOD WE TRUST, not man. The flag stands for this country's pride and accomplishments and successful interactions with our neighbors and other forgein countries. How many of those people who want to take the flag out of the schools actual went to fight in the armed services to protect this country and their families? You have to stop and think, where are they really coming from. I say, just be sure you know what side you are on and whose side you are really on. The children are the future and they need the proper direction and proper guidelines to achieve a better future for these United States of America. I say keep the flags in the schools.

I don't feel that this topic should even be brought to a vote as the Flag represents this Country and should be proudly displayed anywhere in this Country that an American wishes to display it!!

Why should our flag be banned in our country? Does the Mexican government ban the Mexican flag in the schools in Mexico? Nobody forces them to display the United States flag in their school, so why should their people have any right to say what flag the American schools display, especially when they are in the United States of America.
The heart of the problem is unity. We are not longer one nation under God. Diversity has become the new religion and it comes directly out of the school system, K-12 and college. The school system has become a huge propaganda machine. The Nazis would be impressed with how much more effective our school system is in that regard compared to what they were doing. It will not end until the schools system is changed. It's not the teachers, they are OK. It's the administrators who set the policy. This will get a lot worse before it gets better and it will only get better if and when the parents of our child citizens make themselves heard at school board meetings and the ballot box. We get what we vote for so we can't complain.

HELL NO DO NOT TAKE OUR FLAG DOWN. ANYONE WHO IS OFFENDED BY THE AMERICAN FLAG NEEDS TO TAKE THEIR HAPPY ASS BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY.

PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND ARE DYING FOR THIS NATION UNDER GOD. SUCK IT UP OR LEAVE!!!!!

I cannot believe that Fox News has the gall to even suggest such a thing! I don't care if we offend every single spanish person in this country, as long as they are in the USA it is OUR country, OUR flag, and by the way, OUR language. Do like other people do when they go to a foreign country to stay more than a weekend - learn our laws, learn our language both printed and oral, and for goodness sakes - stay off our dole!
You are not here by a right, but by a gift. We don't have to tolerate your gangs, your grasping attacks on our citizenry and towns, your riots and negative actions. If you don't like what you have in the USA, by all means go back to your original home. And take your attitudes and bad habits with you. We'll manage without you.

I find this entire subject to be repulsive, disgusting and utterly ridiculous! This is a subject that should not even be put on the table as our ancestors fought long and hard for us to have this privilege and we still fight for it! Further more there is NO other country that would remove their flags for Americans if WE CHOSE to live there! I know of NO other countries that support other nationalities in the manor that the United States does and has. If they do not feel we are being hospitable enough my suggestion is GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Last time I checked Americans lived in America. If you feel offended by the flag of OUR country...... Leave. No one is forcing anyone to stay here. I could never imagine moving to a country then expecting that country to remove their flag because it offended me. Obviously this country has something to offer and its a package deal. The country comes with OUR language, OUR flag, and OUR people. LIKE it or LEAVE.
Cassie - 13 years ago
Absolutely NOT! This is OUR COUNTRY OUR FLAG. You don't like it go back to where you came from. Do you have our flag in your country-NO and do we say we are offended when you have your flag in your own country? NO! and why is that? Because we respect what is yours and what it means to your people. We should not compromise our meanings and beliefs for people who are not even legal to be here in OUR country and abide by the rules. If you do not respect what our Veterans have done for us and our country then you do not have the right to be in The United States of America.

The US Flag displays a star for every State in the Union together with a Stripe for each of the 13 founding States and represents the history of this wonderful country. Banning its display anywhere would be the equivilant of erasing history. What would come next? The banning of the English language in schools and the adoption of mandatory Spanish, Farsi or maybe Chinese as the "correct" educational language!

This complete and utter bull. Anyone who voted yes on this should just leave the country right now, you do not belong here. This is America, and we have the American flag. If this bothers you......LEAVE!!!!! plain and simple. There should be no debate in this country to change anything. If people are offended by American culture, you dont have to be here. This country has these things because our troops fought for these and died for these values we have here in the United States of America. If our president doesnt believ in the core values of our country.....he can get the F out also.

As I recall going to school in 30's, we always recited the pledge of Allegiance and did not find one of our classmates burned to a crisp. GET REAL!!!

Anyone even considering banning the American flag should be horse whipped and banned from America forever. What are our troops fighting for if not the freedom and distinction of our country. The flag is a symbol of that pride. Idiots!!!!!

Remember 9/11? What did you see everywhere in the USA after that day? You saw American flags EVERYWHERE! We are a proud united country. If you aren't proud of your country, you are welcome to leave. God Bless America!

If they don't like the American flag they can willingly leave our country. Our flag stands for - freedom, and all the values that belong to being free. Those who want to ban the flag love the freedom and the perks along with it, but they are so afraid of standing up for what s right. Think of all the men and women who gave their lives to protect this freedom and those who are serving our country now - my son for example, a young US Marine and myself and my wife US Air Force. Those who want to ban the flag- I have a better idea - leave America!

I was born and raised in America and I love it. I will until I die. The American Flag represents the land I love and I am proud of it and honor it. I could never go to another country and expect that country to take down their flag. If I was offended, I would go back home. If Mexicans, Cubans, Muslims don't like it, they should go back home. They should accept our rights to love our God, our country and our flag. There's an old saying "love it or leave it". I wouldn't dream of going in anyone's home and tell them they need to change their furniture, or what they ate, or the pictures one their wall because it offended me. I believe to each his own.. I like what I like, believe what I believe and everyone else has the right to their own beliefs. If they don't like the American flag and they are offended by a little piece of cloth with stars and stripes..they really need to go back where they come from because there are a lot uglier things than the stars and stripes or the Star Spangled Banner. God Bless America!

This is the US of A !!!!! Don't like it --- LEAVE!
What in the devil does the flag have to do with safety of the students? If the person who came up with that question is a Fox employee, he or she should be fired. What kind of kid drool, kid babble, kid talk is thatl. Stay in school, the tassel is worth the hassel. Ban the flag? And to think I wore the uniform for fools such as this to be able to pose such a question. Just an ole Vets opinon.
Ban the flag ? Who comes up with this stupid stuff. If you don;t like the flag in school. Homeschool your kids. Don't forget this is Land of the free. Don't come to this country and decide you don't like it. Go home or shut up

Are you kidding me?? Millions have died for this country and for our flag. True Americans will always stand up for our country and our flag!
Anyone that thinks this is a good idea is a traitor to this country. Also put God back into our government and our schools.
are you F*&KING nuts. there are men and women in Afghanistan dieing everyday for this Flag you are talking about getting rid of. you can take your communist ass out of this great country and NEVER COME BACK.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
You've been handed another line of BS by this establishment. Obama's whole agenda is raising it's ugly head again! We know he and Michele hate this country, and are going to do everything they can to destroy it from within. When you have SEIU, the union leaders dining with you every day, the disenchanted and uneducated and poor being used by them, you will have a great voting machine. We have to be very careful America, for to say this is a one term President, may not be so after all. It is a shame that our country has produced some of the greatest men in the world, but it has also produced some of the laziest (don't think, work, do anything useful with their lives, just live off of the government). Personally, just being retired makes me feel guilty that I'm not productive in some way. The Lord has told us, "if we don't work, we don't eat", but how many nowadays give a hoot what "He" says. Keep that flag flying high America, or we will be totally destroyed from within.
Love the feigned indignation of the Libtards that posted on here!!!
The only thing the Mexican flag should be used for on US soil, is as a substitute for toilet paper!
UNREAL !!!!!!!!!! CAN NOT BELEIVE THAT THIS WOULD EVEN BE A THOUGHT TO AN AMERICAN !!! ARE THEY FOR REAL? THE PEOPLE THAT FEEL THE AMERICAN FLAG SHOULD BE BANNED NEED TO GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM, ITS AN HONOR YOU ARE EVEN IN OUR COUNTRY !!!! IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR CHILDREN KNOWING AMERICA THEN DONT BRING THEM HERE TO LEARN !!! WHAT DID OUR FATHERS ,MOTHERS,SISTER,BROTHERS,SONS AND DAUGHTER FIGHT AND DIE FOR? FOR THEM TO COME TO AMERCIA AND TAKE OUR FLAG ?????????
This is the United States of America, not Mexico, not any other country. If you don't like our beliefs, rules, traditions, etc. then GET OUT!!! We wouldn't come to Mexico and expect you to take down your countries flag or go to any other country for that matter and expect them to take down their flag becasue it's "THEIR" country. Our fore fathers should be rolling in their graves.
This isn't even worth a comment it is so ludicrous. People in this poll want to ban the American flag from schools for fear of offending Hispanics who are here illegally to start with? WOW!!!! This country is filled with more idiots than I thought. I never thought I would live to see the day that special interest groups would stoop so low as to to defame our flag and our country for a bunch of foreigners and illegal aliens. Where does this end? Have you got nothing better to do than waste your time defending people that dont belong here to start with? I feel nothing but shame for the morons that support this notion.
The idea that we should apologize for our national identity because Mexican (or Mexican-American or any other Hyphenated-American ) students feelings will be hurt by the display of our national flag is rediculous! They should learn American history and why the flag of our nation is held in high esteem. I remember a saying back in the 70's- America, Love it or Leave it!
Ban the American FFlag in the United States of America??
Why in the world would we want to banned the flag. If you do not want to do the pledge you do not have to. So why take others people rights away from them. Even in school the children do not have to if for some reason they do not want to, but everyone else should not have their rights taken away. Just like God should be left alone why take the rights of the people to say and use God when every they want. Peoples rights go both ways!!
Having to explain why we even need to vote on this issue is what is wrong with people in this country today. Stand up and do what is right. It is rediculous to even ask this question.
I can't speak for everyone else but the day we can't fly our American flag in our own country anywhere we want, I will feel like I have lost everything I served for and love about this country.....FREEDOM!
What we are allowing to happen in this country make me ill.
Fly our flag, be proud of it or LEAVE THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
Former Marine. This nation is one nation made up of native born and those who chose to become American. Like other nations we have only one national flag for which many of us served. A civil war was fought that settled once and for all that we are one nation. when one chooses to become an american he renounces his loyalty to his former country, as many have done. No one can serve two masters, nor can one serve two nations. You are American or you are not. America, serve it and love it or, leave it. The flag. Long may it wave in the class room, the public square and every place where people love the freedom for which it stands. walk not on the blood of those who gave the ultimate for us all.
THE BLOOD OF AMERICANS MAKE OUR FLAG HOLY AND A NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Ban American Flag in school. What are we communists now? It's our country. Growing up, we actually said a daily prayer followed by singing our anthem. It placed values on me and a deep appreciation for all that we stand for. How about one of the most important things, FREEDOM, Baby! FREEDOM!
I come from a military family. I fully understand our freedom and how through the years, we have fought and died protecting that. Every American school age citizen should honor and pledge allegance to OUR FLAG. ban the flag. really? We took out a prayer, what next? Look at our generation now and ask me that again. HONOR, PRIDE, AMERICA. Don't like it, get the hell out!
the only thing that needs to be banned is everyone that does not like the flag. send them back to what ever country that has a flag that they like. keep america ,america, keep the flag and raise more of them , be proud of it.
Our flag represents this country and its people. If the flag offends someone who is in this country, they have evil intent regarding our country and should be treated accordingly.

Idiotic questions like this don't surprise me when you have, and I cringe when I use the term President and First Lady who blatantly disrespect the flag. When you disrespect the American flag, you disrespect the men and women who have served whether in the Marine Corp., Air Force, Army, Navy, or Coast Guard. You disrespect every man and woman who gave their life while serving in the armed forces, no matter what branch, no matter what war.
I would like to see the highly paid sports figures start to set an example for our youth by removing their helmet/cap, placing their hand over their heart when the National Anthem is played. And if they aren't American citizens, fine stand still be respectful, or take the next flight back to where you came from. We don't need you.
The American people need to take back our country, from the illegals who propagate, to disrespect us, and our flag, the flag of our nation.
So, if you don't like it here, bye, bye. We won't miss you.
And how many days until we can vote the jerk out of office?
Another example of what Obama and the other democrat buffo0ns in Washington are doing to make America a socialist state, What can you expect from a leader who was born in Kenya
this country is going to hell in a handbasket. and everyone is afraid of hurting someones feelings well if people dont like prayer or the word god or the flag then one day they may be speaking another language like almost happened in the early 40's. so all you crybabes go to somewhere where the dont have any religion or beliefs . maybe iran will let you in
I thought these children were here in THIS COUNTRY(THE U.S.A.) because that these UNITED STATES of AMERICAwould give to them sooooo much. They are here in this country and need to learn to respect the LAWS and our soverenty.that means seeing OUR FLAG and not put the mexican flag above ours !! !If they were born here,and are therefor citezens of ths country not mexico,they should proudly wave this countries flag,if not go back to mexico or what other spanish country you or your parents or parent camee from!!!!!!!
What are people thinking. Alot of good people lost their lives fighting for the right to fly the flag and for our freedoms. We need to be proud of the flag and our right to display it.
We need to fly it everywhere and say the pledge of alligence in schools too. Teach them to
be proud. Their ancestors may have fought for their freedoms.
I THOUGHT WE LIVED IN AMERICA IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN OUR FLAG GO SOME PLACE ELSE NO OTHER FLAG BELONGS HERE THE AMERICAN FLAG PERIOD SHOULD BE THE ONLY FLAG THAT WE FLY
That there is any 'discussion' is a reflection on just what a miserable mess we are in , in this country! The flippant, rude and STUPID comments being made are indicative of the vitriole, the hatred and the disrespect for this country, our laws, values and citizens - felt by far too many who enjoy the benefits of living in America. To you all I urge and say ' get the hell out' and in the meantime STFU. None of you are welcome here - become a citizen or leave. America needs a change - and it should start with the removal of every single Member of Congress, their staffs, and the entire Administration. Then we all need to grow a pair and take back our country from the riff raff and haters such as those posting on here.
If they dont like our flag an respect it then leave.
This is America so if you don't like our country or our flag then get the hell out and don't come back. If you need help leaving , i'm sure we can help you out there also. Another thing , God Bless America .
I can't believe this is even a 'real' poll. Do you think Mexico, Spain or any foreign country would take down their own flag just to avoid offending someone? Students or no, if they or their family is that offended by the American flag, then they can leave America!
IN ALL THE YEARS AMERICANS HAVE NEVER HAD TO VOTE IF WE SHOULD KEEP THE FLAG IN OUR SCHOOLS. THEY HAVE BEEN IN AMERICA'S SCHOOLS EVERY SINCE SCHOOLS WERE CREATED. NOW THAT OBAMA IS PRESIDENT THIS IS GONNA BE A VOTE? OBAMA TOLD EVERY ONE HE WAS AMERICAN!! SO DID HE LIE TO ALL OF US? A TRUE AMERICAN WOULD NOT EVEN ASK US TO TAKE OUR FLAG OUT OF THE SCHOOLS. WE DONT GO TO YOUR COUNTRY AND TELL YOU THAT YOU CANT HAVE YOUR FLAG ANYWHERE YOU WANT IT SO DONT TELL US WHAT TO DO WITH OUR FLAG . GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY YOU CAME FROM IF YOU DONT LIKE OUR CUSTOMS CAUSE WE WONT CHANGE FOR NO ONE BUT GOD HIM SELF!!!!! FROM A TRUE AMERICAN, CECELIA. P.S. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS WHO FIGHT FOR REAL AMERICAN'S AND OUR COUNTRY & OUR FLAG
Fox news you should be ashamed of yourselves for even putting your name to this !!!!! take your way to crazy liberal crap and go away. my my my to think you believe your a news agency. why would you ever allow this kind of nonsence. shame on you
I served 12 Years in the USAF so that these idiots could voice their opponion on stupid ideas like this, we have a president that is anything but an American, but is determined to destroy this great Country of ours. These suggestions never were voiced until he became president, he defiles the Hounor of the office.
I WAS BORN AND BRED IN AMERICA AND IF YOU ARE AN ILLEGEAL IMMIGRANT OR EVEN REC'D UR CITIZENSHIP THEN SHUT THE F*%K UP. YOU CAME HERE ON YOUR OWN FREE WILL AND NOW WANT TO CHANGE OUR WAY OF LIFE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, GO BACK WHERE YOU CAME FROM UNTIL YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT OUR CULTURE, OUR WAYS OF LIFE AND "OUR" THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S RULES. ALSO GET A JOB AND QUIT LIVING OFF OF ALL THE HARD WORKING AMERICANS, JUST TO GET A FREE BUCK. LOVE OUR NATION OR LIKE I SAID GET THE F OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me? I can't believe how this was ever even allowed as a serious proposal.
This is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard. Banning our own flag? Really?
It's very very simple. If the flag of the country you are living in somehow "offends" you. Move the fuck out.
Hard to believe this crap is even considered.
Why in HELL are we worried about the hispanics' opinion. If the liberals didn't think that they are going to get their vote, the whole immigration problem would be non existent. I would like to see all our politicians thrown out and a new crop elected. It would be okay for a while until they learned how to lie, cheat and steal like the ones now in office. Party affiliation has little to do with it. They are professional politicians, bloodsuckers and cheats who want to fleece the American public and fill their own coffers and to hell with the American taxpayer.
After reading the above comments, I can't believe how hate filled America people have become of a Country that has given them so much. This is a great deal of the problem, we have a bunch of spoiled brates, ungrateful in every respect. The gull to even say that Bill O. should have sex with children shows how"MENTALLY SICK" our people have become. Our nation was founded on a Christian foundation. Now we are supposed to meet everybody else's need like a whimp that we have become. We have become a co-dependent nation of pansy's not standing up for a belief in our Country, and what we were founded upon.
THE FLAG STANDS FOR OUR FREEDOM.... IF YOU ARE A PERSON WHO WANTS TO BAND THE DISPLAY OF OUR FLAG...... BAND PRAYER ,,,, BAND GOD ,, DO NOT BELIVE IN GOD --- BUT YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM SAYNG GOD D------- THEN PACK YOUR,
SHIT AND GET THE HELL OUT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
AND STAY OUT... GOD WILL BLESS US ALL WITH OR WITHOUT YOU..
I went to public school in the time when we read 10 verses of the Bible, said the Lord's Prayer and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. As I taught school for 35 years we saw all but the Pledge of Allegiance taken away. Who cares who's offended. Our Country! Love it or leave it; oh, and raise your right hand and swear (on your life) like many of us did to Uphold the Constitution of the United States. The stars and stripes should be in every classroom and in every public place and revered! "One Nation Under God ."
J D Brown
This is insane, How can we even be asking a question like this in America!!!! If you hate the flag, leave the country. Don't cr_p it up for the rest of us.
I think you are stupid. If the people that don't like our flag and what it stands for , they should move to another country. This is AMERCIA. We speak english here. We don't speak Spanish or German, or any other kind of language just ENGLISH. We didn't ask for others to come here but welcomed them here as long as they abide by our rules and laws. Why should we change out style of life to please them. Why should we hgave to teach other languages to our children because their kids can't speak ENGLISH.
If they don't love AMERICA then leave. You Have That Freedom!!!!!!

George Soros needs to die ! He is the real cancer of this country.
By the way boycott Progressive insurance.
@James: lol! Nice try wit. They must have hired a lot of actors to do the video I saw of mexican students at a high school taking down the American Flag. Wise up.
What is the matter with people???? Our brightest and best are willing to sacrifice their lives for that flag! There are so many people who don't know what is happening to our Country. They are too busy doing their own thing in life and a big shock is coming! We are letting a small group of people, who want our Country to fail, to tear us down, and if we don't step up and cry out, then we deserve what we get! Those who want to ban our flag should leave our land.
Are you guys serious? This is not real. No one is trying to ban the flag. This is just like the story Fox ran about a school district banning red and green, because they represented Christmas. There was no such school district. The story was manufactured. This poll is a product of fear mongering. There is not movement to ban the flag. This poll was created to spark irrational responses from people. Do you people really think this poll is based on an actual case?
Those who voted yes are either illegal immigrants, new legal immigrants, some foreigners commies, terrorists or the like. We Americans don't need you here. As a matter of fact we
Americans invite you to leave as soon as you get your next welfare check. When the s#%t hits
the fan and if we know who you are, you will not be safe here. Many of us are veterans and
we fought for our flag symbolic of our country and the people whom it represents. I guarantee
you it will never happen. We the people whom by that I mean real Americans will never, ever
allow this banning our flag to happen. Those who believe this could or would happen are very
naive, anyway.
Has Americans gone totally NUTS....our Fathers and Forefathers fought for and under this flag so that we are able to have this question even come up! If you answered yes take your goofy a$$ back to where you came from......Stormy
What in the name of God are people thinking? Our flag represents a God fearing nation that allows us to stand proud and to be proud of our country, our service men and women, and the fact that we are a freedom nation. It sickens me to think that a few people can demand these changes and expect us to sit back and take it. If you don't want to live in America and honor our flag, and honor our ways of life please feel free to go back where you came from. For those of you born in America and want the flag banned try living in a country that will kill you if you don't abide by their rules. I will continue to fly the American flag and continue to have prayer, and continue to know and believe this is the greatest country on earth.
Are you kidding? Immigrants who are offended by the red, white and blue should return to their country of origin. Why did they come here if they don't love what the flag represents?
If people are offended by our flag, our constitution or anything else that stands for America, they do NOT have to live here. There are plenty of countries that they can choose from. They come here wanting freedom, yet try to tear down everything that stands for the very freedom that caused them to move here. If the country they left is so much better...I'm sure you can go back!!!!!!!! We don't mind.
What in the heck is going on here? Whoever came up with this idea should be run out of the US on a rail!
Political correctness is a tool the elites use to enslave the people. The problem has been engineered by the elites. They create the problems in Mexico and also fund the education there where people are taught that the lands the US purchased in the Louisiana Purchase belong to them and are urged by their government to cross the border illegally and legally if possible to take back what is theirs.
Many do not come here wanting to be an american they just want to have the benefits that are promised by the elites. They come here still loyal to their country they are leaving. Our nation was founded upon the belief and principles of natural law and the rights we all our born with. Many Americans do not even hold these principles anymore and that is why our nation is crumbling.
Our government guided by the elites agenda has helped create many of the problems in Mexico and continue to make them worse with the so called war on drugs. The CIA, ATF, FBI, DEA and Border Patrol all help ship weapons to the cartels and ship drugs in and the banking cartel launders the money.
If the Mexicans had a bill of rights and a second amendment and their government did not teach them in schools to flee here to take what is "theirs" and allow them to do so they would have already been forced to make changes in their country. They are allowed to cross the border in to the States as a pressure release. Our federal government following the elites agenda allows them to come here to destabilize our country and economy and also create more people sympathetic to the globalist agenda.
The elites want a one world government, no more sovereign nations. This one world government will not be a pretty one like you see in Star Trek either. The elites with their foundations and organization think tanks have published books and other documents over the past 50+ years where they state their agendas. They want the world under one government, one currency. They want to deindustrialize the planet and reduce population to less than a billion. You can read publications such as the Club of Romes, Mankind At The Turning Point, Ecoscience : Population, Resources, Environment, by Obama's science Czar John P. Holdren. Also look up other publications from the Ford Foundation, Rockefeller etc. Think tanks such as CFR and others that have members who serve in government or advise governments.
Even on the corporate mainstream media all you hear recently is people calling for a global bank of the world. Now even the vatican is calling for it. If people do not wake up soon and get back to the principles and natural laws and common law this nation was founded upon our once great Republic is gone. We must demand of those we elect or those we plan on electing at a local, state, national level respect the constitution and bill of rights and actually vote according to them.
The American Flag is a symbol of our freedom. Our children should be taught to respect it and honor it.
I agree with all the comments about 'busing' EVERYONE who wants to ban the flag. Love America or get out of America, please, you are not welcome here.
REALLY!?!?! I can't believe America would even consider banning the flag in schools. Was it not bad enough that we stopped saying the Pledge of Allegiance in schools? And people wonder why kids are the way they are today. They (kids and even some adults) have no pride and honor in being an American. They think that they are entitled to things that are really privileges. I truly have no problems with immigrants coming to the United States, but do it legally and by God, DO NOT come here and try to change how we live and what we do because it offends you. If it offends you that much, then go back to where you came from. If an American went to another country and tried to pull this $hit it would never stand! So don't come here and try to do it to us. America and Americans have been pushed around for too long and it is time we took a stand for our country, the future of our country, and the future of our kids. My husband, father, father-in-law, brother, brother-in-laws, and sister-in-law don't fight for this country and the people in it for it to be changed in the next minute.
You should be ashamed of even asking this question!!
Honestly?????? Have we forgotten what country we live in?? Those who are offended by our flag, our beliefs, our values, should not come here.

First of all, too many men and women have died fighting for this flag. It's just sick and appalling to even consider such a stupid idea for this inane reason! This is the United States of America. We are an aggregate of every nation! Those who immigrate here must accept our flag as their new symbol of nationality. Nationality is not ethnicity. One nation of people from all over the earth: people who want freedom. This is what our flag represents.
WE MEANING AMERICANS ,WHO LIVE IN AMERICA SHOULD STAND TALL AND PROUD IN FRONT OF OUR BEAUTIFUL FLAG. AND NOT FORGET WHAT OUR FLAG REPRESENTS .
AND FOR THOSE OF US THAT DO NOT AGREE THEY SHOULD BE DEPORTED !
If anyone seems to be feeling bad or sandbagged about our flag, They should go back to the country they came from. I heard at one time we would let our country be taken or destroyed from the inside out. If they need to go back to the country from where they came, then maybe they wouldn't feel sandbagged. Our flag represents our FREE country. Never before have I ever thought I would hear of such lameness. WE need to stand up for our rights and freedom.
Absolutely NOT! Our country, our flag in every public place supported by our tax dollars! If they want their flag then they should become citizens and it would be their flag, or they could go back to where they came from!!!
I FEEL LIKE THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA, IF YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT WE STAND FOR, LANGUAGE, FLAGS, GOD, THEN GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE. GO MAKE YOUR MILLIONS OFF SOME OTHER FOOL... OUR FLAG AND PRAYERS AND AMERICAN ANTHEM SHOULD NEVER BE BANNED OR CHANGED. MR. OBAMMA, GET THE HELL OUT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, YOUR NOT AN AMERICAN...
The person who suggested this should not even be allowed to be in the United States of America and any TRATOR who supports it should leave this country IMMEDIATELY and NEVER be allowed to return.
I AM WITH THE MAJORITY! IT IS TIME THE MAJORITY TOOK BACK THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY AND START ACTING LIKE TRUE AMERICANS, AND THAT GOES FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE, BLACK OR WHITE, GREEN OR YELLOW - ETC.

YOU TAKE MY FLAG YOU BETTER BE READY TO TAKE ME, COURSE IT MIGHT BE EASY TO DO SINCE I'M 74 YEARS OLD, BUT I HAVE EQUALIZERS TOO.

Take God out of the country, now take the flag. Next will be our civil liberties. What is wrong with this country. Everyone has gone nuts. I will tell you, I will fly my flag and I will keep God in my home. Try taking either one!
I do not know what this country is coming to. If we continue to take away what America stands for and how we started. There will be no more America. We should not let the few dictate our present and future. IN GOD WE TRUST, not man. The flag stands for this country's pride and accomplishments and successful interactions with our neighbors and other forgein countries. How many of those people who want to take the flag out of the schools actual went to fight in the armed services to protect this country and their families? You have to stop and think, where are they really coming from. I say, just be sure you know what side you are on and whose side you are really on. The children are the future and they need the proper direction and proper guidelines to achieve a better future for these United States of America. I say keep the flags in the schools.
Isn't this still our country ?No one can make the decision to ban it.Like the song says.If you don't love it leave it.Amen !!!!!!!! I am proud of our flag and I display it everyday.This is supposed to be the land of the free.Let's take it back.
If the American Flag offends Hispanic or any Nationality please feel free to return to your country of orgin or any other country that will have you.
First I would like to say that this poll should not have been an issue!
This is the United States of America!!
Anybody that wishes to live in this Country is welcome as long as they are willing to abide by this Country's laws and Constitution!
If it offends anyone by having the American Flag displaying at American schools then they are welcome to leave as this Country will not stop you from leaving if you are not happy here.
I don't feel that this topic should even be brought to a vote as the Flag represents this Country and should be proudly displayed anywhere in this Country that an American wishes to display it!!

Why should our flag be banned in our country? Does the Mexican government ban the Mexican flag in the schools in Mexico? Nobody forces them to display the United States flag in their school, so why should their people have any right to say what flag the American schools display, especially when they are in the United States of America.
The heart of the problem is unity. We are not longer one nation under God. Diversity has become the new religion and it comes directly out of the school system, K-12 and college. The school system has become a huge propaganda machine. The Nazis would be impressed with how much more effective our school system is in that regard compared to what they were doing. It will not end until the schools system is changed. It's not the teachers, they are OK. It's the administrators who set the policy. This will get a lot worse before it gets better and it will only get better if and when the parents of our child citizens make themselves heard at school board meetings and the ballot box. We get what we vote for so we can't complain.

HELL NO DO NOT TAKE OUR FLAG DOWN. ANYONE WHO IS OFFENDED BY THE AMERICAN FLAG NEEDS TO TAKE THEIR HAPPY ASS BACK TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY. PEOPLE CHOSSE THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE IT HAS MORE ADVANTAGES THAN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. THAN YOU GET HERE AND WANT TO CHANGE THINGS? NO!!!!! DON'T LIKE IT? THAN LEAVE!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND ARE DYING FOR THIS NATION UNDER GOD. SUCK IT UP OR LEAVE!!!!!
I cannot believe that Fox News has the gall to even suggest such a thing! I don't care if we offend every single spanish person in this country, as long as they are in the USA it is OUR country, OUR flag, and by the way, OUR language. Do like other people do when they go to a foreign country to stay more than a weekend - learn our laws, learn our language both printed and oral, and for goodness sakes - stay off our dole!
You are not here by a right, but by a gift. We don't have to tolerate your gangs, your grasping attacks on our citizenry and towns, your riots and negative actions. If you don't like what you have in the USA, by all means go back to your original home. And take your attitudes and bad habits with you. We'll manage without you.
I find this entire subject to be repulsive, disgusting and utterly ridiculous! This is a subject that should not even be put on the table as our ancestors fought long and hard for us to have this privilege and we still fight for it! Further more there is NO other country that would remove their flags for Americans if WE CHOSE to live there! I know of NO other countries that support other nationalities in the manor that the United States does and has. If they do not feel we are being hospitable enough my suggestion is GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY!

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Last time I checked Americans lived in America. If you feel offended by the flag of OUR country...... Leave. No one is forcing anyone to stay here. I could never imagine moving to a country then expecting that country to remove their flag because it offended me. Obviously this country has something to offer and its a package deal. The country comes with OUR language, OUR flag, and OUR people. LIKE it or LEAVE.
Absolutely NOT! This is OUR COUNTRY OUR FLAG. You don't like it go back to where you came from. Do you have our flag in your country-NO and do we say we are offended when you have your flag in your own country? NO! and why is that? Because we respect what is yours and what it means to your people. We should not compromise our meanings and beliefs for people who are not even legal to be here in OUR country and abide by the rules. If you do not respect what our Veterans have done for us and our country then you do not have the right to be in The United States of America.
The US Flag displays a star for every State in the Union together with a Stripe for each of the 13 founding States and represents the history of this wonderful country. Banning its display anywhere would be the equivilant of erasing history. What would come next? The banning of the English language in schools and the adoption of mandatory Spanish, Farsi or maybe Chinese as the "correct" educational language!
This complete and utter bull. Anyone who voted yes on this should just leave the country right now, you do not belong here. This is America, and we have the American flag. If this bothers you......LEAVE!!!!! plain and simple. There should be no debate in this country to change anything. If people are offended by American culture, you dont have to be here. This country has these things because our troops fought for these and died for these values we have here in the United States of America. If our president doesnt believ in the core values of our country.....he can get the F out also.
As I recall going to school in 30's, we always recited the pledge of Allegiance and did not find one of our classmates burned to a crisp. GET REAL!!!
Anyone even considering banning the American flag should be horse whipped and banned from America forever. What are our troops fighting for if not the freedom and distinction of our country. The flag is a symbol of that pride. Idiots!!!!!
Remember 9/11? What did you see everywhere in the USA after that day? You saw American flags EVERYWHERE! We are a proud united country. If you aren't proud of your country, you are welcome to leave. God Bless America!
The was no option stronger than "NO"! There should have been. I still have not read a justification for even considering it. What did I miss?
If they don't like the American flag they can willingly leave our country. Our flag stands for - freedom, and all the values that belong to being free. Those who want to ban the flag love the freedom and the perks along with it, but they are so afraid of standing up for what s right. Think of all the men and women who gave their lives to protect this freedom and those who are serving our country now - my son for example, a young US Marine and myself and my wife US Air Force. Those who want to ban the flag- I have a better idea - leave America!

Has America gone CRAZY? American Flags should not be banned ANYWHERE in the US!!!!!!
What should be banned is dumb ass people that believe the flag should be banned. Case Closed!!
I was born and raised in America and I love it. I will until I die. The American Flag represents the land I love and I am proud of it and honor it. I could never go to another country and expect that country to take down their flag. If I was offended, I would go back home. If Mexicans, Cubans, Muslims don't like it, they should go back home. They should accept our rights to love our God, our country and our flag. There's an old saying "love it or leave it". I wouldn't dream of going in anyone's home and tell them they need to change their furniture, or what they ate, or the pictures one their wall because it offended me. I believe to each his own.. I like what I like, believe what I believe and everyone else has the right to their own beliefs. If they don't like the American flag and they are offended by a little piece of cloth with stars and stripes..they really need to go back where they come from because there are a lot uglier things than the stars and stripes or the Star Spangled Banner. God Bless America!
This is the US of A !!!!! Don't like it --- LEAVE!
