Yes it is quite the paradox. However, I think this a rather isolated instance.

If the Mexicans in the US are SOOO proud of their home country, WHY THE HELL ARE THEY HERE, rather than home trying to FIX their own country???

Why has nobody mentioned the Mexicans running around in Arizona with American flags draped around their shoulders just as they do with the Mexican flag at their big rallies? It is against flag etiquette to "wear" the flag and that is essentially what those kids were doing.

I am for the boys who got in trouble but I have always been at least miffed at people wearing the flag since it is to be flown only. Now it is time to stop allowing those Mexicans to demonstrate with their national flags in the US. Send them home with their flags attached.

Well, I definitely take this as a sign that racial tensions are getting worse. Good point, I don't think any Irish would get upset if you wore an American flag on St Patrick's Day. But if you wear it on Cinco de Mayo, then it is an implied insult to Mexicans.

BTW, I predicted all of this years ago. I predicted that when the economy got bad, people would look around for scapegoats and the illegal immigrants would be a handy group to blame.

I'm not saying I'm pro-illegal. In fact, I'm all for a border fence and deportation! But, you can't blame all of the problems of society and the economy on illegals. It's also a good diversion from the bad economy for the politicians to get you to focus on.

Just fire the assistant principal or be nice and cut him a break and just demote him. What he did was ridiculous.

Why am I not surprised this happened in California?

I would love to have a few words with Ms. Nunez.
