Students at a high school in California (I know that's the problem) were asked to turn their shirts inside out because they had an American flag on it. This represented a "incendiary" that would lead to fights on campus, said the administrators. WOW. Has it come that you cannot wear an American flag at high school? Now this was done on Cinco de Mayo, but that should not matter.
Now this was reported..."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." I wonder if the reporter did their homework? Cinco de Mayo IS NOT a Mexican holiday. Mexico does not even celebrate Cinco de Mayo. According to Wikipedia Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day, the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico. "I think they should apologize cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day," Annicia Nunez, a Live Oak High student, said. "We don't deserve to be get disrespected like that. Oh, but it is okay to disrespect the boys for wearing their Nations flag on their shirt!
We have people running our schools that are not informed. They are following the Politically Correct crowd and not knowing what they are doing or enforcing. This is a shame as it does not let the Mexicans know what their true heritage is but also steps on the first amendment rights of the Americans. Get your child out of the government schools and start teaching the the important things like The Constitution as it seems many teachers and administrators have forgoten what is in The Constitution.
