High School Senior Raises Gadsden Flag On School Flag Pole, Gets Banned From Graduation And Told He Is ‘Not Welcome”..

This young man in Colorado was suspended from school and banned from graduation because of his prank. No damage was casued and the ‘prank’ was pretty harmless to everything but the principal’s pride. But, the visual of what he did angered his high school principal so much that she went on a rampage. His prank? Raising the Gadsden flag on the school’s flagpole.

Tread on him, she did:

Greg Stoneburner, a senior who just graduated from Central High School in Grand Junction, Colo., said he was told in no uncertain terms that he was no longer welcome at the school after raising a Gadsden flag on the school’s flagpole. Moreover, he told Examiner.com in an exclusive interview Friday, the principal withheld his flag and his diploma until after his graduation walk.

The incident, he said on Facebook, took place on May 9. That’s when he replaced the school’s flag with the yellow “Don’t Tread On Me” banner often associated with the Tea Party as a senior prank. He also posted a paper to the pole that told the history of the flag.

The prank didn’t sit too well with Jodie Diers, the principal of Central High School, who was livid over the prank. Other students, Stoneburner told Examiner, claimed she was angrily yelling to have the flag pulled down when she first saw it. According to Stoneburner, she pulled him out of a scholarship breakfast and told him and his parents the flag was a “slap in the face” to the school. She then said he was “not welcome” at Central High.

“She also confiscated my flag,” he wrote, even though she admitted he had not violated any law or school policy. Her reasoning, Stoneburner said, was that anything on the pole was school property.

“So my property was confiscated without due process,” he added. “I was denied access to a public institution because the principal didn’t like what I did.”

Wow. Good for Greg. I would have filed a police report for theft against her!

We put the Principles car for sale in the Denver Post, with his phone number...he was mad too, but we still walked.

We jacked the principle's front axle up so that his tires were up about 1/4" off the ground. When he got in and tried to drive off, his (front wheel drive) tires obviously just spun. He was very confused, then upset (he thought his car was broken) and then walked around his car with a big grin on his face when he realized what had happened. He knew it was us. He smiled when he saw us the next day and didn't go insane. From his perspective, he got a free pair of jack stands... he couldn't really be mad, right?

Stupid libby. She needs a swift kick in the cunt.

I guarantee you if he'd run up a gay rainbow flag this principal would have given him some sort of award.

Punishing students for pranks is one thing, but this bitch is punishing him for the content of his thoughts/speech and not simply for the harmless prank.

Welcome to Obama's America (maybe we should start calling him Uncle Barry).

How is this even a prank? Maybe instead of punishing him they should hire him as the history teacher.

I think that WAS his offense. The government indoctrination institutions do not want the REAL history to get out.

It's the difference between understanding (how the guy on jackstands handled it) and reaction (flag lady). In the past common sense and dignity were taught now it is a political agenda and thinking as a victim.

The principal isn't very creative. I would have had him come to the school to raise and lower the US flag every day for the next 2 weeks at dawn and sunset. And I would have given him his Gadsden back when he was finished.

Sorry, but I love my flag and it has stars and stripes.
