DENVER — School officials here said yesterday they plan to replace two Mexican flags removed from a local high school this week after a public outcry about the issue dies down.

School staffers at North High School took down the Mexican flags on Tuesday after receiving threats from callers who said they would come to the school and tear down the flags themselves.

But Denver Public Schools spokeswoman Tanya Caughey said school officials planned to rehang the Mexican flags next to the U.S. flags once their safety concerns are eased.

"The principal does intend to put the flag back up once we're sure our students are safe," Mrs. Caughey said. "We're respecting equality, human rights, human dignity and safety."
