Starnes: Meet the Teen who Stopped his Teacher from Defiling Old Glory

Alex Dunn is Captain America.

The 16-year-old junior at Massey Hill Classical High School in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is a red, white and blue patriot who loves America.

And he especially loves the American flag.

“I have a father in the military who taught me the way to respect the flag,” Alex told me.

When he saw that his teacher was desecrating the flag during a classroom discussion, the teenager knew he had to do something. And what he did has patriots across the fruited plain cheering.
