After the Forest Hills Superintendent Dan Behm said that American and Trump flags symbolized "exclusion and hate," Frank Brooks, a disabled Veteran (and a black Trump supporter-yes, they exist!) blasted Behm in an email shared with WMP.
"I am personally insulted by your comments," Brooks wrote. "Your generalization of how "Black People" feel about a version of our National Flag is itself a form of racism."
>>>Here is the full message from Cl. Frank Brooks to Dan Behm:
"Subj: Black, 34 year Vet, retired Colonel
Mr Behm,
I am personally insulted by your comments. Your generalization of how "Black People" feel about a version of our National Flag is itself a form of racism. I fought for our nation. More importantly, I led graduates of High Schools across this country---under our flag. Just come out in the open and plainly say that you did not like the Trump sign. The tone of you statement seems to call this display of patriotism a racist action. So, essentially, you believe this was the work of deplorable and nonredeemable students? Generalizing, it seems we demean these young adults and then expect them to volunteer to defend this country, our Constitution (read this as 1st amendment), and our flag!?
I hope you open your heart to all Americans in the future,
Colonel Frank Brooks, USAF, Retired"
>>>WOW: Forest Hills Superintendent Says American+Trump Flags "Symbolize Exclusion And Hate"

Yes, this was all about the Trump flag but this public school employee was not courageous enough to say those words. Then, today, this school is part of the ban on a USA chant at high school football games. Where are the taxpayers in these towns? Fire these idiots!
ReplyDeleteI personally worked for Col Frank Brooks at Air Force Comm Agency (2000 - 2003) and he has zero integrity. He should be the absolute last person to say anything
ReplyDeleteHis lack of integrity, in your opinion, has nothing to do with who you supported in the 2016 election, right? Seemed to have tons of integrity when I served with him in 1981-1982 and even again in 2001 at Spangdahlem. BTW, he did not arrive at AFCA until around August 2001, not 2000 as your post indicated.
ReplyDeleteAn fascinating discussion is value comment. I think that it is best to write extra on this matter, it won’t be a taboo topic however generally people are not enough to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
