Hundreds of Riders With US Flags Escort Cody Alicea to School

It wasn’t this California boy’s usual ride to school this morning! Hundreds of other bike riders came along. Many of them veterans, and some from out of state, all wanting to show support to 13-year-old Cody Alicea.

School officials had told Cody he shouldn’t ride his American flag-decorated bike to school because some students were offended. That kicked up a firestorm of protest. The school superintendent has since apologized, and promised that something like that will not happen again. But the school district is now facing a lawsuit from a civil liberties group.
