Flag flap spurs call for formal apology

AMHERST - Vladimir Morales, who helped organize a Puerto Rican flag-raising ceremony in honor of Puerto Rican month, is asking for a formal apology from the woman he said took the flag down.

Friday, the flag was raised on the Town Common with more than 100 people gathered to celebrate and sing the Puerto Rican national anthem. But on Sunday, Town Meeting member Patricia K. Church apparently thought the flag was the state flag of Texas. Upset with the results from last week's presidential election, Church later told Morales it was she who took it down, Morales said. Bush is from Texas.

Both flags have a single star set on blue background. But the Puerto Rican flag has red and white stripes and the star is set in a triangular background, while the Texan flags is half white and half red with the star set in a rectangular background.

Morales said when he heard the flag was missing his first thought was that it had been vandalized.

"It gives you a bad taste," he said. "We had a good thing on Friday. ... We felt aggrieved."

When he heard the flag was found and what happened, he said, "It was a misunderstanding," but he said the act still surprised him. "The point of taking it on themselves. I think the folks need to be a little more careful."

He would like Church to apologize formally to the whole community. Church could not be reached for comment.

The Puerto Rican flag, meanwhile, was back up yesterday in front of Town Hall.

This leads me to ask, when is North Dakota Month, or Maine Month, or Delaware Month? Hold on, if there are 50 states and a handful of territories, and only 12 months, won't we have to split months between 5 states/territories? :rolleyes:

We have a month. Not only is it the shortest month out of the twelve. They made it the coldest one also. No wonder I never paid attention to that special month. :D

Kinda hard to barbecue when it's freezing outside. :eek:

She is probably one of those people who thinks they need a passport to visit New Mexico.

Here is a nifty Massachusetts state flag:

Why not take the PR flag down and burn it in an act of First Amendment free expression, the way Puerto Ricans did with the U.S. flag during one of the many protests there?

Glad to see that a lib as stupid as her is in charge.

Now, what was that about ignorant people in the Red states again?

Amherst huh ?

I'm not shocked at all

I'm not sure which one is worse:

1. Someone who can't tell the difference between a Texas State Flag and the Puerto Rican Flag.

2. The fact that someone would think it's OK to steal it either way.

3. The fact that this guy was pissed until he found out the motive.

You know, I could have understood if it was the Cuban flag, but the confusion with the Texas flag, and the logic for taking it down, is just incredibly stupid.
