Wearing red, white and blue lands high school students in hot water!
Every heart beats true ‘neath the red, white and blue – although some people apparently see overt displays of patriotism as offensive to immigrants and refugees.
George M. Cohan probably never thought about adding that coda to his patriotic anthem “You're a Grand Old Flag,” and the Iowa high school students who donned red, white and blue to support their men’s basketball team last week probably didn’t think about their actions being controversial.
But the patriotic garb worn by some Valley High School students on Wednesday upset students at Des Moines North High School, which is described as being more diverse and full of refugee families.
- Lord, we are in the midst of manipulation by people who hate America. We pray that You will reveal the truth in this situation. We ask for a big move of Your Spirit in this situation.
- "A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who peaks lies will not escape." (Proverbs 19:9)
