Many waved American flags and carried signs, including messages that read "There is nothing more patriotic than protest."

GOLDEN, Colo. – Students and parents say they will renew protests Friday after a suburban Denver school board refused to back off a proposed review of a U.S. history course with a goal of promoting patriotism and downplaying disorder.Students and others packed the board's hearing room Thursday night and also watched the meeting on a big screen outside in the parking lot with popcorn. The students turned in two cardboard boxes of an online petition they said was signed by over 40,000 people across the U.S.Students across a majority of the 17 high schools in Colorado's second-largest school district have left classes in droves over the past few weeks in protest.
They should be in class. No?
Flunk 'em.
Under the age of 16 is truancy.
So flunk them and throw the book at them.
