Owasso Public Schools Officials Respond to Uproar Alleging American Flag Removal
Wingnut outrage of the day: Here’s some RED RED MEATZ! for you Uberpatriots. Nevermind that there’s a US flag over the stadium, or that players are running onto the field with a US Flag…
OWASSO — A TV news story that aired Monday in the Tulsa area portraying Owasso Public Schools’ athletic department as unfriendly to the American flag has enraged callers from across the country, who the school believes have been misled.
Last Friday, Owasso students turned out in their traditional USA-themed show of support at the first home game of the football season. Many dressed from head-to-toe in Red, White and Blue, and a few carried American flags on long, metal poles.
When Owasso Police officers identified the metal poles as safety hazards within the crowd of nearly 11,000, they approached Athletic Director Zach Duffield, who then asked the police to handle the situation.
