They are offended by American flags, but they will risk their lives to get into our country.  Ridiculous

I wonder if the school opted not to say the pledge as well

Do you think that the Mexicans were spending their food stamps on May 5

Wonder if they were spending American dollars

California Principal Apologizes for Forbidding U.S. Flag Shirts on Mexican Holiday

Tensions are rising at a California high school where five students were sent home for wearing American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo.

A California high school principal has apologized for telling five students they couldn't wear U.S. flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo, the local superintendent said Friday.

Tensions at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill had risen in the wake of the decision to forbid the shirts, as the students who wore the shirts defended their right to show their patriotism -- even on a Mexican holiday -- while a large group of Hispanic students staged a walkout Thursday in protest.

"This has certainly been a very difficult time for our school district," Superintendent Wesley Smith said in prepared remarks delivered Friday at a news conference.

Smith affirmed that students are free to wear patriotic clothing on campus, but the campus also must be kept "orderly and safe."

"School leaders have to make judgment calls on when to take preventative measures to pre-empt a possible incident or conflict," Smith said. "In this situation, it appears that a decision was made too quickly.".................>>>>..............>>>>..........................http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010.....day/?test=latestnews
