W. P. Hatter asks, “Where is Malibu’s patriotism?”
I found myself asking the same question when our family moved here and our youngest child started school. A few weeks into the semester my wife noticed the American Flag flown at the campus was so shredded, faded and neglected as to be nothing more than a fluttering rag. What lesson were the children being taught when they pledged allegiance to this symbol of disrespect? When she bought and donated a beautiful replacement to the school she was ridiculed as “The Flag Lady” by the principal and ostracized by staff and parent leaders alike. I wonder if they now fly the stars and stripes with newfound pride and honor?
Long May it Wave!
