There’s a 12-year-old kid in Colorado getting pulled out of class because some clueless leftist teacher decided his 'Don’t Tread on Me' Gadsden flag patch on his backpack was somehow tied to slavery and the slave trade.
Yeah, you read that right.
The same flag that flew on American ships and represented colonial resistance to tyranny is now apparently a hate symbol in the eyes of a public school “educator.”
You're making the same face I did when I read this.
But his face is really the story here.
Watch:
That face you make when you know the teacher who tried to suspend you is about to get SCHOOLED by your mom 🤣

Watch as this little dude, 12, from a Colorado school smiles after being pulled from class. The problem? The “Don’t Tread on Me” flag on his backpack.

... control leftist teacher falsely claimed the historic flag was associated with slavery. And she's in charge of TEACHING.
“So they're the reason that they do not want the flag is due to its origins with slavery and slave trade. That is what was, um, that's the reasoning behind them.”
Make this woman FAMOUS. And someone get us in touch with this kiddo so we can hook him up with some schwag.
The best part? The kid’s face.
Pure confidence. He knows what’s coming.
His mom shows up and schools the entire staff like they’re the ones in detention. She doesn’t stutter, doesn’t apologize, and doesn’t play their stupid game. She just shuts it down. Meanwhile, the teacher is out there parroting some half-baked revisionist nonsense about the flag’s 'origins with slavery.'
Spoiler alert: it isn’t. The Gadsden flag is about liberty, not chains. But facts don’t matter when ideology runs the classroom.
