A New Term: Cultural Disrespect
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local...-92945969.html
Students Kicked Off Campus for Wearing American Flag Tees
Freedom of expression or cultural disrespect on Cinco de Mayo?
On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population.
Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal's office.
"They said we could wear it on any other day," Daniel Galli said, "but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it's supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today."
The boys said the administrators called their T-shirts "incendiary" that would lead to fights on campus.
more at the linK,,,,,,,,,,,,
including the backtrack after speaking with their lawyers.

CD is just another phrase for PC. Libs are good at this stuff. They make stuff up to fit the situation -- kinda like how "global warming' has now morphed into "climate change".

Bulletin: The results of the Mexican War were declared invalid. All lands illegally seized from the Mrxican govt in the 1840s have now been returned. Viva Los Unidos de Mexico.

SOMETIMES it can get you in trouble. Case in point was my friend who went to Thailand with his wife. In a crowded restaurant their son was acting up and his hands were full so he pointed his foot to direct the boy back to the table.
Seems that pointing with ones foot is a big no no there. HOW would he have known that?

If it is THEIR holiday, let them go back to THEIR country to celebrate it.
IF wearing Old Glory incites unstable people to violence, we need to address the unstable people - like banning Stinko de Mayo day altogether.
These administrators need to fired immediately.

Sounds to me a like a bunch of punks trying to start trouble on school grounds. WTF is wrong with common courtesy. Those admins should have just let the mexican kids kick their ass and let it go.

Insane, get the gvt out of education and fire all these useless clown administrators.
Let people wear what they wish, hitler tees or us flags. It's part of being civilized. Of course if they showed in a burka or the death robe most of the posts on here would be all for sending them home.

dog,
Free speech only applies to illegals.
If you are a citizen, sucks to be you.

At the risk of being misinterpreted here, I'll try to carefully express what I'm trying to say. At face value, it is absurd that kids with a patriotic symbol be punished simply because it is a day that celebrates another heritage. But there is some room to consider if there may have been some motive that was not rooted in patriotism, but possibly in inciting, even if it is a fairly mild method to that end.
I'm not suggesting that the case here is that, but I'm also too far removed from the situation to know for sure that it isn't. Obviously most here have to be able to understand the possibility that the kids were motivated by more than mere patriotism to choose this attire on this particular day.
It is their right to express that opinion. Unfortunately, it is not their right to express that opinion if it disrupts the normal and orderly function of a place of education.
So yeah, while it really seems idiotic and anti-american, I'm just a little cautious here in standing too firmly behind these kids at first glance.

California is more of a joke every day....state is broke but they can't possibly offend those most responsible for them being broke. Did they declare war on Arizona yet? Pussy liberals never cease to amaze me. Will the last American citizen leaving California please turn out the lights? Somehow I can't see this happening in Texas.
