Students Wearing American Flag Shirts Sent Home

Would you similarly agree that we shouldn't celebrate St. Patrick's day either?
Or does your selective outrage only apply to celebrations involving brown skin?

That would mean more if these Mexicans even knew what Cinco de Mayo was about. The vast majority have no clue.

Don't kid yourself Rev and those who have bought into your "righteous" indignation. This isn't a situation in which people should be outraged by students not being allowed to wear the American flag as clothing. The students actions here were not "innocent". The school took the actions it did because the students were seeking to create a disturbance, nothing more nothing less.

So wearing an American flag bandanna in a school that's in America is now somehow disruptive?

How low have we actually sunk in this country when the American flag is considered disruptive and a disturbance? :doh

I am sorry you find the American flag so offensive. :shrug:

I think it was the mexicans celebrating a fake mexican holiday who were creating a disturbance.

Regardless, within the borders of America, the American flag takes precedent over any other national colors. If the Mexicans were bothered by it, go back home. There is no interest of the state, the school district, or that principal in suppressing nationalism for a bunch of third world border hoppers' children.

Further, now the precedent has been set at that school that the American flag can be seen as offensive. I, for one, don't believe our flag should be degraded to the same indignation we give gang colors for any reason. Least of all a bunch of butthurt Mexicans celebrating Happy Corona and Lime Day.

If wearing the American flag colors (not the flag itself as that is poor flag etiquette) is offensive in this country, then baby, consider me one offensive SOB. I'll gladly take down any hispanic that has a problem with it.

Something interesting I read:

Flying a foreign flag by foreign nationals on soil not their own is reserved for invaders, occupiers and concurred lands it is and should be considered an act of aggression and met with overwhelming military force driving the invaders back to their home land. They are acting with the condolences of their leaders. we are at war with Mexico.

On Thursday, about 200 Mexican-American students walked out of class in protest of the flag clothing incident. Members of the group waved the Mexican flag and said they were marching for respect and unity. They also demanded the school suspend the boys who wore the U.S. flag-adorned clothing.

Then I think 200 mexican American students just earned themselves an expulsion for the year. Seems they don't want to be in the same class as the boys so, by all means, let them wait a year to come back to school when the boys have moved on ahead.

They should have marched back to TJ.
 
Reverend_Hellh0und said:
uhm yeah, cinco de mayo is a fake holiday, why again would you send Americans wearing american flags home?



My bet is that if this were reversed and they sent mexican kids home for wearing the mexican flag on the forth, you'd be pretty much all up in arms over it,. :shrug:

Cinco de Mayo doesn't have anything to do with the school's dress code that was used to tell the students to turn their shirts inside out. No insignias is probably that rule.

I would feel the same about Mexican flag shirts.

When I was 15 (1970) we staged sit-ins and wore armbands until our HS dropped the dress code.

Later on I read about dress codes making a huge come back. You cannot have this **** both ways.

This is backwards thinking and far too often celebrated amongst the "very liberal" who seemingly seek to thrust forward the "white guilt" mentality. Instead of casting the four out, the rest of the school should be told to find a way to feel more secure about their ethnicity. Or will Mexican Flags be banned on the appropriate day henceforth?

If a protestor shows up at one of my Marine's funerals is he asked to leave because it offends me or that it may disrupt proceedings? Or am I to suck it up and allow him his civil rights and jack-assery while he screams and shouts his opinions?

There is either a dress code, or there isn't.
 
Agent Ferris said:
Yes it is.



If wearing the American Flag causes a disruption then the students who it disrupts need to be ****ing expelled from the school district, or sent to alternative school because they have no ****ing place to be in civilized ****ing society. Infact they should probably have their ****ing citizenship stripped and kicked the **** out of the country.



Yes you do, these little "gangsta" MS13/LatinKings/Mother ****ing low life pieces of **** getting offended by the American Flag need to be ****ing expelled, sent to alternative school, deported, or ****ing shot in the head before they're allowed to procreate and raise more little anti-American traitorous "gangsta" little ****s.

For the record: I am against all forms of dress codes.

I would like to see where the American flag is considered an insignia and worthy of banning in the school dress code.

I am gonna bet my right hand that it just isn't there.

What dress code?


This school does not have a dress code that bans the American flag.
 
This who situation is about being politically correct and it stinks........

Merely asserting that it causes material disruption is not proving that it causes material disruption, and if the American Flag causes material disruption then this school needs to be shut the **** down and the kids expelled, or sent to alternative school.

:doh I seriously don't know why you even bother to post.

So you're going to assert that students who are offended by the American Flag have any place whatsoever in the public school district with normal students? If you're offended by the American flag then get the **** out of America, they get offended by the American flag yet think they have the right to a state payed for education? Has this world gone completely bat**** crazy and I just missed the boat or what?

The black and white of Liberalese.

This had nothing to do with a dress code. This is a case of a Mexican principal banning something he did not like because of his own bias against a country stupid enough to offer this piece of crap a job instead of shipping him back to the place he belongs.

If it's simply about something innocuous that may or may not piss people off, I'll go back to high school and get a gang of guys to declare that all Hello Kitty accessories are for Nazi support and that they should all be banned.
 
But DONT YOU DARE TOUCH A MEXICAN FLAG!


NewsRadio 740 - KTRH


Yesterday, a listener’s son was offended that his school, Klein Collins High School, displayed the Mexican flag prominently. His mother called to complain, and the school wouldn’t return her call. The student took the sign down.





The school pitched a fit, reviewed the surveillance tapes, found the student, and suspended him for 3 days. AND he has to pay for the flag. In light of the SF story of students sent home for wearing the AMERICAN flag because it offended the Hispanic students, I thought you’d like to know about a story closer to home

Tell me then should any symbol of Latin American pride be banned due to it being offensive to non-Latin students?

Would you assert that kids can't wear the American flag on St. Patricks day? Give me a ****ing break. No Irishmen would get offended at the site of an American flag but these Mexicans get offended because they are not American's at heart and should be getting their education funded by my stolen property in the ****ing first place.

The principal who started all of this is Hispanic which explains his motivation to target those kids.

Is the principal Hispanic, too? The assistant principal is Miguel Rodriguez. He's the one who initially asked the kids to turn their t-shirts inside out, I think, and sent the kids to the principal's office and from there they were sent home.

That's why i stated that disruption would need to be proven and documented by the school.

Nice racial generalizing there.

You know, there are a ton of HIspanics who serve in the U.S. military. I suppose they're offended by the flag, as well, according to your "reasoning."

If nothing else, this thread has served to highlight the racists among us.

So, in your world, it's okay for a student to remove school property from the campus for ideological reasons? Why can't the school display a Mexican flag, again, on Cinco de Mayo? For all you know, the Spanish language classes were having a fiesta as part of the cultural studies they do.\

Students are not allowed to just walk around the school removing banners and flags at their personal whim. Yeah, he should receive a suspension, though preferably in-school.
