Students at a Washington state high school wanted to mark the 20th year since the Sept. 11 attacks by wearing red, white and blue at a patriotic-themed game but were refused because the event could "unintentionally cause offense to some who see it differently," according to a report. Jason Rantz, a host on KTTH 770/94.5FM, reported that the event was canceled by an unnamed staffer at Eastlake High School in Sammamish "at the last minute." A student told the show that he was informed that the "red, white and blue was going to be seen as racially insensitive and may affect people in a way that we will not understand

Isn't that precious!
We are just so politically correct.
Our bleeding hearts are on our sleeves.
The only ones who will "see it differently" are members of the left-wing media press, all of whom wish to see the U S destroyed. That will give them a big news story. They will then be killed, but they will get the scoop first.

It's like one of those movies where an adult and a child switch bodies.
We all now treat the Country like the only American history is that of the Democrat Party atrocities (why is that not a phrase that rolls off all tongues -- Democrat Party Atrocities), while the Democrat Party acts like they were the good guy in all that stuff. Remarkable.

'could' cause offense, 'could' have an earthquake, too, 'could' have a fire, too. All kinds of possibilities with 'could.'

Sounds to me like that high school needs to fire some of their 'unnamed staffers' and replace them with Patriotic unnamed staffers.

I have been saying for several years that we are a country governed by the offended few.. I'm afraid that the current US doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to win a WWII. We have become soft, decadent and risk adverse. Not just rise adverse, but unwilling to be inconvenienced or uncomfortable.
We live in a country where voting is seen as hard. Very bad things are in our future.

There should be tremendous push-back against those who are so easily offended. We should double our efforts to offend them. However, I think it's a BS move done to squelch any show of patriotism anywhere by any one. Do it anyway, Kids...learn to be rebels for a higher cause than to 'not offend'.

This particular school hiding the national colors is merely the symptom of a larger disease. They do this in the UK too, only flying the Union Jack on special days so as not to offend the Newcomers. It's a communist thing; replace the native population with outsiders while at the same time denigrating the native population and its national culture and traditions, all to pave the way for the global government to come. Our own government, which is controlled by the same elements, would brand this as a conspiracy theory.

Sammamish is a bedroom community outside of Seattle, where most of the residents work for Microsoft, Amazon or Expedia as well as other high-tech workers. A significant proportion of the growth of the community in the last 10 years is Indian, Arab and Chinese, (and to a lesser extent Russian) coming in to replace Americans (usually over 40), with cheaper H1-B workers. Politically, it is stuck in the Seattle corridor, where even many Republicans are Democrats.

The Left has for some time now been claiming that the Stars and Stripes are a symbol of White Supremacism. They hate America and the freedoms it stands for. It's no surprise that the "woke" NFL is playing the "Black National Anthem" before its games.

Liberals, perpetually offended, never happy, ashamed of being Americans yet everything they have and achieved is due to the singular greatness and genius of our country.

You know that thing....that thing that people are shouting at ball games and gatherings...the thing they want done to Joe Biden...starts with an f and ends with a k?
May the same thing be shouted at that high school's administration. Long and loud.

Obviously those public school administrators are a bunch of wimps who could not fight their way out of a paper bag.

Too damned bad if someone is offended by patriotism. If that is the case, then MOVE to another country.

The first time you do that to appease a few in the cancel culture you will lose more going forward. The new mantra of f-Joe Biden applies to this group of people also. I'm tired and won't apologize for being patriotic but a few deadbeats want to cancel patriots what offends them I want to know?

In other words, we don't want to offend the muslims, the people who killed 3,000 of our citizens on that day and then danced in the streets of Dearborn.

I tell people to google sharia law and see if that offends them. If it doesn't then there is something wrong with you. Wearing red, white, blue pales in comparison to living under sharia law. Because when these folks come here that's the laws they want to live by. Not our laws. That in itself is one big problem. And that's a problem we don't need.

Please provide us with the name of the "unnamed staffer" at the high school that made this decision. I'd like to send him/her a racially insensitive Christmas card. When are we going to wise up and rid our public schools of these leftist anti-American dirtbags?
