(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - For being a Government funded school, it is VERY disgraceful to display a TORN US flag on top of the building! It is a slap in our Soldiers' faces to see such a sight! Further more, the fact that it is 100% one nationality only grows hatred & racism! I find Higher Ground Academy offensive in more ways than one!
