Misleading? So you're telling us that even 2nd and 3rd generation U.S. citizens are "offended" when they see an American flag as opposed to a Mexican one? Thanks for clearing that up for us.
Inflammatory? To be honest, I can't imagine how one could not be completely incensed by these kinds of stories going on in America today.
I don't know why people do the things they do. Maybe you can tell me. All I DO know is the Principal in this case acted upon his assessment of the situation (which he knows better than us) to protect his students from possible violence.
I can't imagine how one could not be completely supportive of a school official protecting our children.
It’s a sad commentary when the U.S. flag is considered “offensive” when displayed on U.S. soil. What on earth has become of this country? What’s next. . . . banning the singing of the Star Spangled Banner?
Are all flags banned in this school? If not then it's wrong. But there's not too many details explained.
Although I doubt the kid had bad intentions against the Hispanic kids as he has a spanish surname himself. But if there's a rule banning all flags or something then a rules a rule. Wish there were more details about this story.
"(The) First Amendment is important," Superintendent Edward Parraz said. "We want the kids to respect it, understand it, and with that comes a responsiblity."
So, the first thing he does is strip this child of his 1st Amendment rights?????
more appropriate hanging on my tp holder in the bathroom... at least it would be useful..
