The California boy who flew the U.S. flag on his bike, which was abruptly banned by his school, has since garnered national attention and very generous support. Now, the boy received an escort to school of around a hundred people to school. After they arrived, they recited the Pledge of Allegiance. The initial incident arose when the 13- year Cody Alicea was told to remove the American flag from his bike he's been displaying for 2 months by Denair Middle School in California. His family was told it must be removed for safety reasons due to a flag incident that occurred on Cinco de Mayo. The school has since reversed their decision and told Cody he can display his flag once again.
