An example of the blatant anti Americanism imbedded among education bureaucrats

These high school football players were flagged for patriotism.

Simple gestures by the Irvington High School football team to honor fallen 9/11 first responders during a varsity game on Sept. 10 thrust an affluent Westchester suburb and its educrats into a politically-correct frenzy. 

Before kicking off their season opener against Cold Spring’s Haldane HS, the Bulldogs paid their respects by slapping American flag stickers to their helmets and running onto the field with two players holding large flags.

One carried Old Glory, while the other player carried an American flag with a blue stripe — the banner associated with the “Blues Lives Matter” movement that supports police. In a video, fans can be heard cheering the Irvington players, who ultimately lost 21-14.

A month later, Irvington Union Free School District superintendent Kristopher Harrison ripped the patriotic play in a letter to the school district.
