What’s the last place in the nation you’d expect a ban on patriotism? Well, a Wyoming high school canceled the school’s homecoming tradition of America Day for fear some kids might feel shut out.
Whaddaya know, seniors and juniors of Jackson Hole High School protested — then went ahead and cloaked themselves in American flags and stars and stripes anyway. Good on ya, kids.
Mike Hansen, the school’s activities director, said he wasn’t opposed to the students being patriotic. But a meeting with the student council had convinced him not all students felt American, and thus felt “targeted and singled out by this day.”
“We’re trying to balance many different things here,” he said. “We’re trying to be inclusive and safe, make everyone feel welcome.”

Wyoming high school cancels 'America Day'
I thought people in Wyoming were smarter than this. Hopefully, they are and the person responsible will be fired.

The latest Fox News national poll finds 83 percent of voters consider serving on a jury an “act of patriotism.”
While that’s a large majority, other actions rank even higher: 94 percent say flying an American flag shows patriotism, 93 percent say voting in elections counts, and 90 percent consider joining the military an act of patriotism.
About eight voters in 10 believe staying informed on the news (79 percent) and paying taxes (78 percent) are ways to show national loyalty.
There’s less consensus about some other activities: 70 percent of voters consider volunteering on a political campaign to be patriotic, 61 percent say the same about participating in a political protest and 50 percent say owning a gun is an act of patriotism.
