Every year we go through the same thing, one year it was racist to wear an American flag on that day. Now this. How about not celebrate the holiday?

Meh. My Grandparents are all from Ireland and I don't get offended when idiots dress in green and drink themselves into a stupor to "celebrate" my culture.

'Cinco De Drinko' Party Cancelled In California After Students Call It Racially Insensitive | Fox News Latino

"They were prompted by a Facebook page created to promote the party. It showed a picture of four male students wearing sombreros while trying to hop a chain-link fence as two female students stand nearby smiling and wearing Border Patrol uniforms, the newspaper said."

the list of things that aren't considered 'racist' is getting shorter by the day.

pretty soon we'll be left with 'the' and 'and.'

Students, It’s Illegal To Wear An American Flag Shirt On Cinco De Mayo

The practice of limiting one group’s free speech rights because that speech might cause another group to react violently is known as the “heckler’s veto.” It is understood by free speech enthusiasts to have a chilling effect on First Amendment right
Quote:
Students in a California school district will not be allowed to wear American flag T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo, due to concerns that such displays of patriotism would inflame racial tensions by offending Mexican students on their holiday.

People on the left can't see this is getting silly, yet claim the religious right is taking their life away!

By the way guess I made it on this one, I like Mexican food and a cold Corona!

Instead of "As the World Turns" we have "As the Left Gets Dumber"

Most young alcoholics don't need a reason to get drunk just like most young people don't need an excuse to get laid. The deed is the excuse. That isn't all that different from most adults.
