Colorado Elementary School Lowers American Flag, Replaces It With One From Saudi Arabia . . . Shocked To Find Parents Have A Problem With This…
(Daily Mail) — Parents of children at an elementary school in Colorado are furious after the American flag was lowered at the multi-cultural school and replaced with a Saudi Arabian flag.
As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, someone at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins appears to have lowered the American symbol while raising that of the Muslim country in its place.
The flag is thought to have initially been hung at the school as one of many posted around the site in recognition of the various nationalities represented by the young students.
The school’s principal insisted the flag was not raised by a member of staff in order to disrespect the American flag — and said the American flag immediately was returned to its prominent position when the issue came to his attention.
But parents argue the display was a direct violation of federal law, which states: ‘No other flag or pennant should be placed above, or, if on same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America.’
They argue it’s the result of the effect a growing Muslim population is having on the area.
A photograph of the Saudi Arabian flag was taken by a concerned local and first posted on the Greeley Report blog.

aaaaa whadrya all worried about?
I mean anyone whos read up on islam knows living around muslims and a growing population is just like living near a growing community of amish……
Why isn’t one of these parents stomping someone’s guts out?
Whoever hung this flag needs to be brought to Justice. This is an outrage.
I know exactly why this happened. There is a GIGANTIC mosque in the planning stages in Ft Collins. There is no need for a mosque this large in the area. A small farm and college town with about 500 Muslims. The mosques is Saudi funded and they are beginning to take their message to the locals…that message is “we’re here, we have money, and you WILL play by our rules…and we’ll take good care of you” Sharia has come to the mid west in a big way…

Even though it’s Colorado, a liberal cesspool, it does seem that it was not done by a school official. Therefore, the school can not be held responsible. On the other hand, do you think any school hoisted the German or Japanese flags during WW2? Even during “nations week?”
This country is so screwed.
“The flag of Saudi Arabia bears the shahada or Islamic declaration of faith. Because the shahada is considered holy, Saudi Arabia’s flag code is extremely strict and even the slightest violation amounts to desecration not only of the flag but also of Islam itself.”
Isn’t this a religious symbol being displayed in a government building?
What would the punishment be if the situation were reversed?
Disgusting. Truly disgusting. The Muslims continue to assert themselves, thanks to the help of their Nazi allies on the left.
“Oops…you caught us!…um, er, NO problem! We put that
racist, war-mongers’ flag with the stars & stripes back up
IMMEDIATELY….um after we were told it ..er, happened.
Lighten up…you bitter clingers……
Christians don’t even do that with the Christian flag, unless they just aren’t educated enough to know better.
F.U. Colorado. You used to be a proud, free member of
our America. How long before Sharia law is passed by your
state government? Thank God for Wyoming and Idaho.
You must embarrass the hell out of them!
And only 6 days before 9/11 no less, what the fuck is wrong with the America I live in ?
Gee, isn’t it just swell to have the source a UK newspaper? Glad WZ picked this up so quickly. Maybe some U.S. media will talk about it, maybe, this coming week, maybe.
How come the host country is the only identifiable group who isn’t entitled to their own identity?
If we were in Saudi Arabia, could be complain about ‘American rights’?
.
Phew I gotta get new glasses. I thought it said BANDER Elementary School — like the name of the Saudi prince. That would be extra bad.
So the fear I had as I zoomed home to get my kids out of school to make sure they were safe that was all for nothing??
Frikkin’ Fort Collins – a college town – what more can you expect.
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy” than in a place where muslims gather.
That saudi flag should be drenched with pig blood and shredded to ribbons.
What the hell is happening to us? Everyday I feel like I just woke up in a Fellini movie.
Stinking pieces of shit.
I was a CO resident for 37 years.
I CONSIDERED RETIRING THERE IN A COUPLE MORE.
Screw you, CO.
Filthy Californicated state.
The school must have some really tall elementary kids!
Burn that fucking green piece of shit! Our men are dying on that stinking soil over there.
This is always the first step with progressives: pull little stunts like this and then act shocked when everyone else goes batshit crazy.
And have you noticed that every time something like this happens, when it comes to the people supposedly in administrative positions – nobody knows nuffin’.
Fire the stupid principal
OMG……..speechless. If I had Harry Potters wand, the desert rats…………well it would be bad. America, America, hey citizens of America wake up. Nudge Nudge Nudge…….ask Glen Beck. Or not, but please wake up.
I believe about 14 of the 19 (?) 9/11 terrorists were Saudi.
That flag shold not be anywhere near a public building in USA at any time much less this week.
True only 14 citizens but a dignified response is not passive. Just say no way today sir.
A lot of very small moslem activities all in a row and one day you will wake up to having shitteria law being enforced whether you like it or not. These moslems didn’t like it in their original country of origin and so they come here and attempt to make the U.S. into a moslem country also. This is just another pile of crap that we will eventually have to go to war over to return the U.S. back to what it was intended to be back when it was founded.
Western CO is nothing like the liberal cesspool on the other side of the rock pile. We should secede and merge with UT.
It doesn’t surprise me–my son went to that school until last year. Luckily, his mother got him transferred out to a better school–and now,even better, has moved back to WY. At least we’re (my son and I) living in the same state again. Colorado can keep on sinking….
Use that flag as toilet paper! Piss on Sharia.
Even at nearly $4 a gallon, gasoline is a most useful liquid.
Muslim dominance
Mabu Imran, leader of Sharia4Belgium -
“Because we are Muslims and thus we are victors, who are here to dominate. And those who cannot accept the dominance of Islam will have to leave. For my part, to hell.”
Anjem Choudary, leader of the in England banned Islam4UK, sounded very threatening in Antwerp.
“We will only rest when the flag of Islam flies everywhere.”
NAZIs/Islam

Someone needs to take down that enemy rag and shred it to bits.
Xavier, that is an excellent point. Where the heck is the ACLU on this?
Oh, right…
I would just hang strips of bacon on that Saudi flag….
my sister works in that school. this does not surprise me a bit and the principal is a lying sack of shit. they have a consistent anti-america agenda that they push with the kids and they only back up when they get publicity – and then only till the spot light is off them.
the charter for that school states not a thing about academics but rather that they host an environment where all ideas and beliefs have equal credence and where children are taught to be good citizens of the world
Chicken scratchings belong underfoot and should never be higher than than the U.S. flag.
The arab culture is vile; no wonder God chose the Jews to produce the Messiah.
Arabs, seed of Ishmael, wild asses among men.
Why the F*CK is the saudi arabian flag being flown ANYWHERE in the United States, let alone a taxpayer funded SCHOOL??
We are NOT Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, Egypt, or any other p.o.s. country.
We are the United States of America. We have a flag.
That should be the ONLY flag flown inside our borders, PERIOD.
If you want to see another countries flag, look it up online or truck your ass to that country.
Patriotism and loyalty are lost to people anymore (overall), imo.
The Greeley paper reported it? How choice! How appropriate!
Greeley was where (back about the time of the Korean War) Sayyid Qutb attended college and developed his hatred of all things American.
Qutb is renown as the intellectual godfather of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian Salafiist ultra-radicals, and Osama bin Ladin.
Whattcha wanna bet that no one, absolutely NO one, on the staff of that elementary school in Fort Collins knows who Sayyid Qutb was.
Time to wake the hell up America. Someone needs to pull it down and light that thing on fire.
What an utter disgrace! The perpetrator of this travesty should be fired, if a teacher, or if a student, expelled.
The only flags that should be flown at any American school are the American flag and the state flag. And maybe the Elmer the Elephant safety flag, if Elmer is still around. But any islamic flag? NO WAY!

But did you vote in the last school board election? Last county and local elections? Last state election? Last national election?
Seething here.
Somebody should make a map of areas in the (former?) United States that have a large Muslim population. I think that people should see that. A Muslim population map.
Xavier pointed out what’s on the Saudi flag: the shahadah, which states:
“There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God.”
Also on the flag below the shahadah is a sword.
BTW, the shahadah is what you see on those black flags carried by jihadists.
Outrageous.
Muzzies like their flag above all others. We like our flag above all others. What we have going for us is, this is the United States of America, not Saudi Arabia.
If I were running that school, there would be a new rule. NO other flags than the US Flag shall be displayed. I’ll even give in for multi-cultural week, any flag can be displayed but the only US flag will be flying over the school.
Why take a pic and send it to a paper? Why not take it down and march it out of the school? No one would stop me. If they arrest you, you’re on Drudge. Win win.
MUSLIM IS THE NEW BLACK!
REMEMBER WHITE MAN!
YOU ARE STIL RACIST!
Do your kids read The Mini Page? Do your neighborhood schools use it as a teaching aid? If you didn’t see the September 3, 2011 issue, be aware that its typically dumbed-down content was even dumber than usual. The main content, entitled Ten Years Later: Remembering 9/11, concluded a ten paragraph description of 9/11 with this PC nonsense: “About 3000 people were killed in the four attacks of that day. We know these hijackers were angry at the United States and our way of life. But even adults don’t really understand why they did this horrible act.”
Really? Adults don’t understand?!? This is of course beyond dumb; it’s dangerous. Our children need the truth that the murderous Muslims on 9/11 acted in the name of Islam in accordance with Islamic teaching.
And the teacher responsible for that classroom? You’re FIRED! And if it was a kid who brought in that flag, EXPELLED!
that picture says it all about the sad state of this country.
ASS WHOOPIN’ TIME!
looks like it’s worse than being a Saudi flag *there’s no sword on it that can be seen in this image, anyway)….the school’s spokesman on this may well be lying in saying it’s a Saudi flag….shame every blog & article I’ve seen on this keeps just repeating this is a Saudi flag when there’s no sign of this whatsoever from the photo. (only the kalima & Islamic color, no sword, much worse)

I’m with Zcat.
Smart money is on leftist filth masquerading as a teacher.
RTS
Don’t waste time figuring out who did it. Burn the saudi flag, fire everyone and close the school forever.
A friend of mine notices: where’s the Separation of the Church and the State creed on this one? The Saudi-Sand-Maggotian flag is actually a praise to their god (with a cimitar underneath)… Just a rhetorical question.
@rvgrouik, at *best* it’s a Saudi flag, then they could say it’s just one of many national flags, second best, they could say it’s just a Hamas flag (though support for Hamas is probably not legal here), but like you said, it is not just a praise, but an allegiance to Allah — more specifically, it’s an *exclusive* allegiance to Allah & Islam against allegiance to any others — now that, that would be a serious problem to be identified & rooted out in that school. I still see no sword.
Its a wonder the idiot principal didnt have a mexican flag up there
after we are done breaking the teachers unions. we can than get rid of the these commie in drag that run a lot of our school. what a great day that will be!
It’s the flag of Hamas.
This should be a warning to everyone.
It’s lucky the British media will cover this sort of thing or we’d never know about it in North America.
Find who’s responsible, heel and hide their ass to a barn door!
This is absolutely appalling, and outrageous! What is happening to the American spirit? Are we not patriotic anymore? The educational system run by the govt. is totally bankrupt.
powder is dry
Schools should not display any flag but OUR flag! It’s not like it’s the United Nations, or an International company, it’s a SCHOOL! We need to stomp on this now or we will end up like the UK or France!
Find out who did this, and arrest them, make an example of them. We need to stop being so politically correct, and punish people who do this, or commit treason, what a bunch of wooses.
All of the evil from islam originated in saudi arabia. On the third attempt over centuries of time by muslim fundamentalists, they succeeded in getting the saudi royal family to back down and allow them to rule over religious law in the country. That’s how the saudis got to keep their riches – and even now, they are paying for it….as is the rest of the world through their exports of religious fundamentalism – wahhabi fundamentalism.
WHAT THE BLEEP IS A “multi-cultural school”?!?!?!
Scherado,
All the govt. run public schools promote this “multi-cultural” bent. The system has ben totally changed, with matching text books pushed down all students throats.
Its plain brainwashing.
Oh Katy! That is too hilarious!
“The current Islamic Center:
threatens the lives of the sisters and children that use its deteriorating basement for prayer”
OMG!!! The basement is deteriorating to the point of being life threatening, but women and children are still forced to go down there to prey!!! That is too freaking funny. They don’t have a clue do they? That they would even have the audacity to say this just goes to show how low on the totem pole women and children are! YOu have to laugh, because the reality of their backward ways is just too sad! Gender apartied even in America!!! And they’re proud of it, cause that’s just the way it is!
“He insisted no one at the school had created the display….”
Really? It just magically appeared? I am willing to bet that the principle is a liberal and a obama fan. Hope someone is able to dig up enough available personal web information on the guy to expose his politics. Hope he is enjoying the attention he is getting from this story.
Fire the teachers and administrators. Shut the school down. Then reorganize and reopen according to Constitutional and Judeo/Christian principles.
Our flag is bowing to a flag whose country does public decapitations, stoning, mutilations, and breeds terrorists? And the left sees no problem with this?
wow, just wow
can someone please start the war already – better to go out fighting
