One of several reasons I left CA for NV. I'm not in the least surprised.

My blood pressure just jumped through the roof. This PC bull$hit is getting so far out of hand it makes me sick.

This happened in California? Wow, I am surprised. :td

Ugh....

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

I saw this on the news this morning and could not believe what I was seeing. Then they put on this girl from the high school who said,
"I figured people would wear red white and green for cinco de mayo but when the, and I dont' want to sound racist, but white boys came wearing red white and blue I felt that was disrespectful." (not exact quote but pretty damn good)

I about fell over laughing when I heard that. Not only did this girl actualy say something like that but they put her on the air. I guess stupid gets raitings.

:usa

What the heck is our State / Country coming too??? :td

Did I detect a subtle sarcasm to your comment?

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

:r Yes, yes you did.

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

Epic fail. Did the kids mean disrespect? To be honest yes, probably. Unless that's the way they dress every day they clearly meant to antangonize the hispanics at their school, and if anything, the admin tried to make them change to avoid a ugly racial situation. But this is America and you should be able to wear a patriotic shirt at school, even if your intention is race baiting. Go ahead and wear your patriot gear on Cinco de Mayo, but don't come crying to me when some cholo beats you up for the disrespect.:2

Such bullshit.

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

Two of the "white" kids have a Mexican-American father.
In my country we don't officially observe foreign holidays.
My daughter was looking to move from Gilroy to Morgan Hill for the better schools. I think she will have to know about this. Or maybe it's worse in Gilroy, like forcing kids to speak espanol.

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

No cholo is owed the least bit of respect just because it's May 5th. No amount of respect demanded is worth violence returned if that respect is not given. In fact the act of demanding respect for foreign holidays is itself condemnable.

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

What about if some "cholo" (whatever that means) wears a Mexican flag on Memorial Day? Same no crying rule?

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

Cinco de Mayo is not really a foreign holiday per say. It's more like St. Patrick's day or Columbus day. FYI.

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

California schools are terrible. My wife and I plan to move out of state by the time our kids have to go to public school. Some may be better than others, but on the whole they are :td
With the state's budget being what it is, I can only see the situation getting worse. I hope your daughter finds a decent one, or can afford some private schooling.

Re: Kids Sent Home For Wearing American Flag
 

So the kids would be sent home for wearing a flag on St.Pat's day? Or not wearing green? May 5th in much less a holiday than St. Pat's. It is mostly a reason for college kids to drink more and for protesters to march against America. No one even knew about it more than 25 years ago.
