American Flag not welcome on Cinco de Mayo…in the USA

WTF!?!?! High school students were sent home for wearing American Flags yesterday,

Let me start this rant off by identifying myself as an unabashed liberal. I think Sarah Palin and Rush Limp-dick are cancers on this great nation. They spread fear, hate, and lies; but more disgustingly they manipulate their ‘constituents’ for personal profit.

Back to the story: I am enraged that this took place. Who do these school officials think they are? What country are they loyal to? This is the USA, not Mexico. As tolerant as we are, how is it that showing national pride can be punished under any context?

Immigrants who want to display pride in their heritage are more than welcome to do so. Just don’t forget what country you are living in now. If you can’t be loyal to the USA first: GTFO!

Is apparel with American flags prohibited on St. Patrick’s Day? By logical extension…

That people consider such trivial things so important is unfathomable to me. If I were a parent, I would call for resignation, and cite the school dress code which likely doesn’t mention “no US flags on May 5.”

Or apparel w/ Mexico flags ?

Or July 4. Or the independence day of any other country in the world. Time to start a list of all the independence days of all the countries and start sending any one home wearing a flag of a different country on any of those days.

How about instituting a rule “No violence” on May 5. That would seem so much more logical than “No American Flags.” It is a sign of a school administration that has lost control of their kids, I’d guess.
