I wonder if those in this country of Irish decent get their panties in a wad when someone wears or flies an American flag on St. Patrick's Day?
YES! At least some do. Wearing an American flag to the St Patrick's Day parade around here is just asking to get your ass kicked. The only thing worse is wearing the Union Jack or the flag of England (either one of those is a clear insult, whereas the American flag is just an oversight.
But I know some parades encourage displaying the American flag, especially on the east coast, so it definitely varies from city to city.

That's just stupid copping an attitude over OUR flag and I'm of Irish family. Tho I can see what you mean about wearing a British flag and some fools acting ghetto.
IMO, if these kids of Mexican origin want to make a statement in our schools then those who oppose it should have the right to protest it peacefully by wearing patriotic t-shirts.
If the schools want to silence one side then they should also silence the other side.
For the record from the local paper on May 5, 2010
Some Mexican-American students said that their flags were taken away or asked to be put away, but none were sent home for wearing red, white and green.
Why is it wrong to wear the flag of this nation? Why would wearing our flag upset anyone? Shame on a school that would ban our colors in favor of those of a dump like Mexico.
I'm sorry but if my kid was in an environment where he has to worry about being beaten up by Mexican kids, he'd be out of that school so fast his head would spin. All the American parents should pull their kids out and watch what a cesspool that high school will turn into in six months.

The school did "silence" both sides. Only one side sued the school though.

The incident happened four years ago and looking at the video that the kids from the school made they are trying to get past the days of Brown Pride, Black Pride, Asian Pride, and even White Pride. Thats actually the conservative goal isnt it to get rid of the labels. It was the adults who were demonstrating in front of the school who are making an issue out of it.
How ironic to have made a three minute video of quotes from students on racial diversity in the school without including a single hispanic kid in the lineup.
