School Bans Children From Celebrating The USA Recently, a group of Colorado high school students were told that they were not allowed to have a spirit day celebrating America. According to administrators, the day might offend non-Americans. The students had collectively come up with the idea of Merica Monday. Their hope was that they could dress up in patriotic colors, however administrators felt that the theme should not be country-exclusive. A number of students and community members have spoken out against the schools actions, but the contributors chose to remain anonymous. Reporters attempted to contact the principal and assistant principal for commentary. They were unable to reach either party and did not receive any return calls. What do you think about the incident? Should students be allowed to celebrate their pride in our country?
