Five students were sent home from a California school on Wednesday for wearing American flag t-shirts. The shirts were deemed “incendiary” because it was Cinco de Mayo.
“They said we could wear it on any other day,” one of the students, Daniel Galli said, according to a local news report. “But today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it’s supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today.”

Every 'public' school is a 'government' school. Government, run by progressives does not respect your beliefs and deems your children theirs.
Dimantle the government schools from the bottom up. Do it by forcing local governments to support home schooling and support accredited private schools and Catholicreligous schools.
Yes - madrassa's may open. Force them to show the text books and if there's a spec of hate - sue them under the EEOC, political correctness rules imposed on us by government.
Also - force every school to teach the Constitution and the Founding Fathers greatness

We're teaching "traditional" kids that everything they have, everything they believe can and must be subservient to some other . This is not diversity.
It's preparation for enslavement.

Wow! You just can't make that kind of abject stupidity up! It's going to be a real treat watching the flurry of lawsuits filed against the school district and the hapless idiots running it.

Whole thing is kind of funny. Cinco de Mayo is bigger with Gringos then Mexicans (at least those left in Mexico). Based on what is being celebrated the offensive flag would be a French one.

This absolutely sickens me! How did we get here as a nation? It;s only the beginning unfortunately - it's going to get much worse in these United States before it gets better.

The public education system in this country has been under attack by the left for a century. We've gone from extolling the virtues that made America great to demeaning or ignoring those virtues. What we have now is essentially a system of left wing madrassa indoctrinating young people into a system of beliefs inimical to traditional American values.
Babu Suseelan | 5.6.10 @ 3:28PM
Recently President Barak Husein Obama has decided to ban words like "Jihadists", "Jihadi Terrorism", "War on Terror" "Islamic Terrorism" and "Islamists' from policy documents. White House staff are required to omit such words from daily briefing or conversation. New York Governor David Paterson recommends pardon for illegaql immigrants who are on a fast-track to deportation because of criminal conviction. Do liberal politicians want us to tolerate aggravated felons, Jihadi terrorists who plant bombs in busy streets to kill innocent Americans? It is time for liberal politicians and mediocre leaders to realize that tolerance has limits. We need tough laws and harsh law enforcement to weed out Jihadi terrorists, violent drug traffickers and anarchists who dislike and violate our culture and values.

I think that this is a disgrace. Any student in America should be able to wear an American Flag shirt, bandanna or any other piece of clothing and such any day of the year at school or in public. Anyone who agrees and is on Facebook should 'like' the page linked at the bottom.

I thought it was silly for so many to take such of a fit over the flying of the "stars and bars"...that is the historical southern battle flag flown during The War Of Northern Agression in the fight over states rights (not slavery). This, however, isn't silly, it is pure unadulterated madness and the perpetrators should be locked in a padded cell and not released until they write a 500 page thesis on 'Twisted Results of Overly Politically Correct Thought...or Lack Thereof.'

This is certainly not the US of A my ancestors fought for in 1776. I see the dismantling of our once great Republic by a bunch of America haters. My heart has a hole in it.
