This country has gone over the top being politically correct. I see nothing wrong with what the boys did or the day that they did it.

Saw that on Yahoo... Two of the kids, that were wearing the Red, White, & Blue, are part Hispanic (and felt it was no big deal)... The principal (or VP) was Hispanic, and said by wearing their 'American Flag' T's, it was disrespectful of the Hispanic students on 'their' day...  Man oh man... Wouldn't wanna hurt someones feelings  Black Dog

Its beyond political correctness...its reverse discrimination. They did it because they feard that the Mexican kids would get violent. So kick their A$$es out of school if they try anything violent, dont kick the American kids out because they chose to wear an American flag...IN AMERICA. We are going to cater to special interest groups as long as "president" Obama and his pack of lefties see them as a major part of their political base (AND THEY DO!)

This statement gets me "But to many Mexican-American students at Live Oak, this was a big deal. They say they were offended by the five boys and others for wearing American colors on a Mexican holiday." Well the last time I looked I was in America not Mexico. Plus in case I offend anyone (thou I don't care} I have a Mexican brother in law, and 3 Mexican/American nieces

They should terminate the Principle and VP for stupidity. If it was in Mexico I can understand it... but it was in the US of A.

I will say again what I have said many times before - In this great country, every person has many rights... but one right which no one has is the right to NOT be offended.... 'nuff said!  Dave

Our government isn't going to enforce the immigration laws until big business gets out of Washington. Big business wants cheap, easily fired, dumb, a$$ kissing employee's that will absolutely never threaten to strike, or to be kept around long enough to retire. Think of all the money that big business is saving by not having to clam the illegal employee!! No social security, no Medicare, no FICA, just cash under the table!! And the fact that if your business gets slow, don’t have to worry about paying unemployment, ‘cause they don’t exist!!
Nope, nothings going to change until the big money gets out of government!

IIRC,last year,one school in Kalifonia flew Mexico flags in place of the USA flag.  My mother's parents immigrated from Mexico and grandpa was working for the railroad when he died. When my grandmother died, we found thier first green cards. My grandmother never applied for US citizenship. She was 96 when she died and still carried her green card. I cannot think my uncles fought in WWII for this kinda sh^t. All my aunts and uncles are US born citizens. Damn I'm pissed.

That incident was in 2006, and it was protesters who did it, not the school itself, the student who was identified that put the Mexican flag up above the upside down American flag was identified and "punished" by the school... I.E. The school didn't fly the Mexican flag, some local thugs bum-rushed the school and put it up for a few minutes... http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49529http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montebello_High_School_flag_flipping_incident(Still a nasty thing to do, but wanted to make sure it was understood it was some local thugs who did this for a few minutes, and not the official policy of the school to fly the Mexican flag... (At least... not yet...)

I was incensed to see the American flag on displayed on April 6th, National Tartan Day, which celebrates the Declaration of Arbroath, the Scottish Declaration of Independence, signed in 1320. Why not the St. Andrews Cross / Scottish Flag???? How many others of Scottish descent were also insulted by this grevious oversight by the American government???? I guess political correctness only goes so far when it concerns those of the British Isles!!!!!!
