Highland Park Texas Battle Flag?

FirefightnRick · February 9, 2004

Anyone see tonights channel 8 HS extra? Showed the Highland Park swim team during their meet this weekend and low and behold their swim caps have the Texas flag in their school colors just like the NT battle flag? This makes two HS teams that I have seen do this, Plano being the other, and the Dallas Stars as well. Of course, NT was the first, dating back to 1982. I couldn't help but mention this and giggle about it after all I have been through over the past several years with a certain individual(who will remain anonymous) on campus who has done his best over the years to threaten and scare school officials into thinking that displaying a similar State of Texas flag in anything other than red, white and blue was somehow illegal, and force illimination of it's use? We finally got it cleared up after taking the matter to the legal office last year and the crying has seem to have stopped, for now? <_<

Just another example of the still remaining existance of those on campus who will stoop to any level to squelch school spirit. Hopefully those folks will continue to move on and get out of the way of the growing spirit of the Mean Green.
