In The Faith - A Chronicle of the Christian Faith

Although the Mexican flag was flown exactly as the federal law requires, the public outcry against a Denver school with an 84% Hispanic enrollment has forced the school to temporarily remove the foreign country’s flags.

School staffers at North High School took down the Mexican flags on Tuesday after receiving threats from callers who said they would come to the school and tear down the flags themselves.
