As Twitchy readers know, a 12-year-old boy was kicked out of his class in Colorado Springs for having a Gadsden flag patch which the school claims has origins with slavery.
No, we're not making that up and yes, this school is really really really stupid.
Note, that this video breaks this editor's heart ...

Shameful.
Has the self proclaimed “most libertarian governor in America” @GovofCO defended this child and disciplined the school for abusing their authority, not knowing their history, and humiliating his state? Didn’t think so.

Good point. You'd think the 'most libertarian governor in America' would have something to add here, yes?
Governor Jared Polis' response is ... interesting.

God forbid he actually DO something. We all know he doesn't want to tick off the teacher's union/association.

Is he "monitoring the situation" or is he actually going to do something https://t.co/h76RBWC0K5

We're not seeing a whole lot about him actually DOING anything.
But then again, at least he replied, which is way more than we'd expect from a Democrat ... so, we'll take it. For now.
