6th Grade Student's American Flag
“This is my view of America. The flames at the bottom represent that the U.S. is slowly burning from the choices it has made. The vertical bars represent the prison bars that America is trapped behind. The keyholes show the ways we can unlock the prison (a tree for environmental choices and a plane for the war in Iraq.) The American flag in the corner shows the true America locked behind the bars that we can free before it’s too late.” --The student artist's own words.
--6th grade student artist’s own words written in Dec., 2005
This flag was exhibited on a bulletin board in 2005 at Capital Hill Gifted and Talented Magnet Shool in St. Paul. The student, who was in the 6th grade when he/she made this , is now a Senior in High School. Previously I did not want to name the school for fear that it might alert federal agents to investigate and intimidate the teacher or the school for being "anti-american"! That was 6 years ago though . . There is a great debate below this image and the other images of other student's flags that deals with issues such as brainwashing kids with liberal political propaganda and patriotism, etc. Read on and make a comment!
