I had a recent discussion with a friend about a recent event he brought up.  The even was that somewhere in Southern Texas, the Mexican flag was flown at a high school football game.  This outraged my friend but I was un-offended by it.

He was outraged because in America, our national icon is the American flag.  In our country, we should say what should be flown on our flagpoles with no exceptions.  Since we live in America the Mexican flag has no business for the publics' eyes to see.

I don't agree with what my friend had to say about it.  Flying the Mexican flag at a high school football game on a Friday night in a town where it is majority Hispanics does not harm me one bit.  Their flag being flown at this football game has absolutely no effect on my life what so ever.  I don't see how this flag is causing me any sort of pain or discomfort to anyone's life.

Now to make everything perfectly clear, the Mexican flag on the flagpole did not replace the American flag from my understanding.  What I gather from this is that either they flew the Mexican flag on a separate flagpole or underneath the American flag.

I want to hear from someone who is against this flag from being flown.  I would love to hear your explanation why they shouldn't have the right to do this.  I would love to hear how this harms you in any way.

One thing I like about living in America is my freedoms granted to me.  One freedom I have is the right to free speech and freedom of expression.  Based on this constitutional amendment, how can I tell them they cannot fly this flag?

Last time I checked, Texas is located within the United States borders.  You can look on any map and clearly see that Texas is part of this union.  I do not need a flag to be flown in this territory to signify what country I am in.
