Hispanic people can be of any race (or even all races). There are white Hispanics, Black Hispanics, Asian/Indian Hispanics and mixed race Hispanics...

Is that why race (White, Black, Asian, Native American/Alaska Native/Pacific Islander, Multi-Racial) and ethnicity (Hispanic/Latino, Not Hispanic/Latino) are two separate boxes on the Census?

Let the race wars begin I guess, either join in with the P.C. race hustler loons or get mowed over by it...
Now here's a cat with a probable wrongful termination suit!
Probably a good thing for that principal, I wouldn't want to work for a district where they'd act like that. I guess it's okay to keep teachers that couldn't teach a dog new tricks much less a kid math as long as said teacher is P.C. and "down with the crew" but heaven forbid someone has a positive opinion about a cop, or even worse a {white cop}...

So people should not voice opposing opinions that will upset the social media mobs.
Only voice your opinion if you agree with them.

He'll never win it.

The guy that fired him hid statistics on Black juvenile crime in his district.
And he still has his job.

Trash thug kids? What a pathetic comment.

Because hispanics have been just as much victims as whites in this "you cant disagree with us" intimidation campaign. Lots of hispanic cops being targeted, now a hispanic principal. We are not going to put up with this.
Who is we and what are you going to do about it?

I find it very interesting that many white people want to support the principal's freedom of speech, but they don't see that the white officer basically suppressed the young black's girl freedom of speech. The teen girl had not cursed him, she simply stated a fact, that she had the right to freedom of speech. The officer's reaction was to immediately slam her to the ground (face first), pull her hair, and kneel on her back - with his full body weight.

So which is it? Do you only support freedom of speech when it pertains to whites?

Take away the long well thought out posts that you offer a simple line by line rebuttal. And you really didn't say much. In fact, it was just some petty insults and emoticons.

When are people in public positions, incl. educators, going to stop using Facebook as a public forum for their views? THINK!
I knew a teacher that called off sick the first week of school (you just don't do that) and then posted pictures on Facebook of him and a bunch of women in bikinis on the beach.
Fired.
Good.

After calling those kids "trash thug kids", the remaining post wasn't worthy to read and most certainly wasn't a well thought out post. Besides, I wasn't replying to you so what the hell are you talking about?
