Received a e-mail from my son with pictures of the Flags being installed with the Mexican above the US Flag which is shown upside down below the Mexican Flag. I don't have a source/knowledge on how to show this on C-D other then via e-mail.

Being from calif (san Gabriel Valley) I am familiar with City of Montebello and the area which does have a large hispanic population.

Hope others can come up with morer info.

Steve
Edit...anyone who wishes send me a DM with your E-Mail address and I will forward the pictures.

That is a dated item..that's from 2006. First hit from google too..maybe you should try that before posting items you can't back up with links.

It also says it was from 2006 and the school went on lockdown.

Without a date some may think it's a current event, which it isn't. I did modify my post to reflect "dated".

Did you read your own link? Why do people assume that everything snopes investigates is proven false? Did the big green dot not give you a hint? How about the word "True" right next to it?

This kids in this school didn't do it, it was protesters from other schools. It happened, things happen when people protest. It's not a current event and it was a huge deal....in 2006.

Why not just post them here? Will your son sue you for copyright?

This is old news. I remember it. I would look for more of this type of garbage to be coming down the pipe soon though
There was a similar incident in Reno bout the same time as the CA one. There will be more of it, no doubt. Lol and the stink will fly........
