Vermont School District Triggers Backlash by Raising Somali Flag in ‘Solidarity’ Against Trump
David Hawkins

A Vermont school district has ignited a firestorm after raising the flag of Somalia on public property, a move officials framed as a gesture of “solidarity” with Somalis against President Donald Trump.

However, critics blasted the move as inappropriate, un-American, and politically charged.

The Winooski School District hoisted the foreign flag just days after Trump criticized refugee programs while addressing widespread multimillion-dollar welfare fraud involving Somali networks in Minnesota.

“We’re gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking garbage into our country,” Trump said last week.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

As a Viet Nam vet, seeing stuff like this actually makes me sick to my stomach.  I feel like throwing up right now. :3:

And it all starts at public school board meetings with public speakers.

The same people who waved North Vietnamese flags and cheered on Ho Chi Minh moved to Vermont (largely from NY and California).

Surprise: they're still commies.

John F’n Kerry would be proud. The school district should have all federal funds withheld until the communists that approved this are terminated and banned from being involved with the education of our children.

I'm sure veterans of the Battle of Mogadishu weren't thrilled.

I do not think we should let them secede.

Just kick them out, close the border, and send them Somalis.

It never ceases to amaze me that so many of the original 13 colonies which were so adamantly in favor of Independence now seem to work so hard against the very Constitution they embraced.
