The school staff "explained that red white and blue was going to be seen as racially insensitive and may affect people in a way that we will not understand and for that reason that we were to change our theme." mynorthwest.com/3141211/rantz-…
The school took this post off their Instagram. I’m told King County Sheriff’s deputies were on site checking student IDs. Don’t know why.
This explains the law enforcement presence. Obviously any threats are wrong. Will see what the threats are.
I'm *guessing* the Instagram post was pulled because some people were leaving nasty messages.
The superintendent has weighed in.

At the anti-Israel rally in Seattle. While chanting “Long live the Antifada,” the anti-Israel activists stole the Israeli flag from counter protesters, stopped on it, then burned it.
Here they burned the Israeli flag after the speaker at the anti-Israel Seattle rally called pro-Israel counter protesters “white supremacists.”
Lots of anti-Israel rhetoric here in Seattle already. Seattle is not friendly to Jews or Israel.
Seattle Antifa radicals try to stop traffic outside the East Precinct. A car tries to drive around it, they get in the driver's way, the driver doesn't like it, the driver goes through the radicals. I hear the person on the hood was okay.
.@Sethrogen asked me what Rashida Tlaib & Ilhan Omar have said for me (and many Jews) to label them anti-Semites. It requires a thread.
It's not just what they've said, but what they've done & believe. It's why they made Simon Wiesenthal Center list of biggest anti-Semites.
Tlaib doesn't believe in Israel's right to exist, quite literally replacing Israel with a post-it note saying "Palestine."
She supports the anti-Semitic BDS movement & when colleagues condemned it, she employed the dual loyalty trope: ‘They forgot what country they represent.’
She said that Israel "unjustly oppress[es] & target[s] Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine" after Israel responded to 350 rockets were fired at them by terrorists.
-Immediately make SCOTUS nomination to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg to vote on in second term.
-Campaign on the issue. This will drive votes.
-Re-elect, get the conservative SCOTUS we deserve.
SCOTUS as election issue worked for Rs in '16. It motivated voters in some swing states & it should be *more* motivating now.
Hey FL, MI, WI: Do you want a PROGRESSIVE justice? It's a compelling argument from @realDonaldTrump.
Risky? Maybe. What do his internals say about race?
Is it closer than the national and state polls suggest? Then run on this issue HARD. It's already completely changed the election. It'll motivate the Left (and big money) hard. But it can also motivate the ones who were on the fence on the Right.
KUOW reports @3DollarBillCine (Three Dollar Bill Cinema) fired an independent contractor for starting a recall petition against a Socialist Councilmember. Is this true?
In Seattle, it’s *illegal* to discriminate on the basis of political ideology.
Lots of rumors tonight on a big piece of news tomorrow... SPD Chief Carmen Best will resign tomorrow morning. Dori Monson is on our sister station KIRO discussing it right now.
This is obviously unconfirmed. If true it would be a huge blow to the SPD. But it could also lead to huge changes with residents finally speaking up against this Council nonsense.
And now I hear from a source saying the same thing. A lot of time between now and the 11am presser tomorrow.
