California School sends 5 students home for wearing American Flag on Cinco de Mayo

[Aptyp]

e-mailed principal and the asshole, who did that shit.

[snail]

principal is receiving disciplinary action

[mrsleeve]

oh shut the hell up.
NEVER EVER should it be any problem to wear an american flag shirt in America (FUCK YEA!)

If these Beaners are American, they can wear a Damned American flag, and give a fuck about cinco de mayo, its not Americas holiday, its some other countries holiday, that we use as a excuse to drink.

There is no such thing as Mexican-American. Your either a fucking mexican, or your American. None of this mexican-american african-american irish-american bullshit. Im of dutch heritage and can trace it hundreds of years, and you dont ever hear me saying Dutch American blah blah blah. i know my heritage. but im an american, not a dutch american.

Tl:Dr Your an american or your not no more bullshit "heritage" tags. if your not american shut the hell up you have no say in america.

AAAAAAA-FUCKING-MEN 1st generation or like both sides of My family that have been here since the late 1600's YOUR AMERICAN act like it. If you want to celebrate your own little holidays that is just fine, if your greater community has a special shebang planed for it thats great, its with in your rights. But your special days dont superseded everyone elses 1st amendment rights, and you cant force everyone else to celebrate with you.


Your from Grand Rappids/west MI Of course you are dutch ;)

bullshit?

They diss our flag by flying it upside down under theirs in America. It is a grave disgrace when Americans cannot wear their own flag in their own country!

those kids wore those shirts to school on that day specifically because of the 5th, and to cause problems.
if you guys do not remember, america is a land of immigrants. even all the white people in america are immigrants. so those beaners are just as much american as your irish/english grandpapy.
all this "american" pride shit is ridiculous!
its not like the people go to school on st. patrick day to show american pride to all the potato eaters out there.

Hey doucheman, there are actually some of us Americans who date back to the time before USA was the USA... back when they were called the colonies. I would say my ancestors who fought against the British for independence are a little more American than someone who jumped across the border and forgot to learn the language of the land.

I'm all for people wanting to come here, work hard, and make something of themselves... as long as they do it legally, learn our language, and pay taxes. But they ought to respect America or go back.

This happened at my local high school a few years back. Sadly I am sure there are more stories similar to this one.

As for the fact that these kids did want to start shit, they intentionally wore those. Is it wrong? Of course not.

And yes, I do believe that the Mexican/ Hispanic /whatever the fuck Vice Principal had a part in this

haha good call.

Holland, MI is having tulip time right now. its a celebration of the citys dutch roots, but you know how many Dutch flags i saw when i've been there this week? Zero. You know how many American flags? A TON! Because this community understands and RESPECTS what America is and are thankful to be here.

deutschman is the Winner of the opinion that I disagree with the most! But here in America you have the right of freedom of speech no matter how off base you are. That is your right just like it is the right of our children to be proud of their country no matter what day it is.

This is the kind of shit, that if allowed, will ruin this country for all of us as well as the next generations of Americans. The person responsible for this action should loose their job and not be allowed back into the "educational" profession. JMTCW

Been to the tulip festival many many times I have family in Kentwood and Caledonia still I grew up in the south central part of your shity state (so glad I got the fuck outta there)


But yes I fully agree with the flags and such there is plenty of pride in the dutch heritage in the area, but its comes secondary to US heritage.

Regardless its bullshit. Fine, ditch the rag but the idea that they cant rock american flags, even if its obnoxious, is bullshit. This country has become fucking stupid because they have added the "right to not be offended" to the constitution.

So? Are you saying the american flag is offensive? If they wore shirts saying "mexico is for wetbacks and spics" I could understand but just being proud to be an american isnt racist. Maybe they dont want to celebrate a fake holiday for another nation. Should i be all fucking sensitive waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles to the needs of some motherfucker that wants to celebrate the rise of the 3rd reich?

[markseven]

America. Love it or leave it. My parents didn't break their backs to bring us here so that I could wave around an Indian flag

[e30e]

For once I hope they sue the shit out that school AND I hate lawsuits.

[shiftbmw]

Fuck me sideways...

This shit cannot stand.

[ck_taft325is]

Fuck me sideways...

This shit cannot stand.

I love this statement.

[pureaudio]

If that school district has any sense they will throw that principle to the dogs and pin responsibility for the entire situation on him. If that happened in the school district I work for, I'd be leading the mob.
