    DENAIR, Calif. — KSBW.com

    A 13-year-old Stanislaus County boy at the
    center of a flag controversy got a big show of
    support Monday as many people rallied to his
    side.

    Cody Alicea was earlier told by Denair Middle
    School officials that he could not ride to
    school with a U.S. flag on his bike. The story
    has gained national attention, from Rush
    Limbaugh to the Drudge Report.

    The school changed its mind, and now Alicea
    can display the stars and stripes.

    When he rode from his home to school on
    Monday, he was followed by a parade of
    people on motorcycles. A military jet flyover
    was also expected.

    "I'd just like to say thanks for the support,"
    Alicea said before his ride.

    Officials at the school told Alicea not to
    display the flag, citing safety concerns. Some
    students had complained about the display.

    Denair Unified School District Superintendent
    Edward Parraz said the campus recently
    experienced some racial tension. He said some
    students got out of hand on Cinco de Mayo. He
    said some students displayed the Mexican flag,
    while others displayed American flags.

    Parraz said he got calls from halfway around
    the world about the flag controversy. Some
    soldiers in Afghanistan called to complain.

    Alicea said he was surprised at the attention

    i just read in one of my text books and it said the white race in the U.S. is now not the majority.

    Thanks for posting this HRK, I remember the issue with the Cinco De Mayo thing because it was actually a topic for discussion in college. Right on for the little man and Kudo's to those who displayed support by riding with him and displaying the Red, White, and Blue!!!:cool:

    The only flag that should be flown in the country period is the stars and strips, USA flag.

    I agree with you 100% Hot Rider. It gets really sickening when an American cannot demonstrate their patriotism openly anymore. They are always asked to show restraint and compassion for others. I say HERE IS MY BIG FLICKER OFFER!!!!!

    Great story and the videos were awesome! A biker friend of mine who lives just down the street often rides his Heritage with his American flag flapping in the breeze. On the other hand, the level of PC we are witnessing these days is mind boggling. Lord, I can't wait till my bobber is finished so when I find myself shouting obsceneties at some pinhead on TV chiseling away at our liberties, I can the leave the house, jump on my scooter and head for the hills . . .
