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

[quote=flu][quote=Aecetia]Good post flu. What’s wrong with learning Chinese.[/quote]

Nothing, but again, at a PUBLIC school any sort of additional cultural thing should be

1) VOLUNTARY
2) Does not interfere with day to day activity for folks that do not wish to participate.
3) paid by public dollars only AFTER there is enough dollars going into normal school programs OR paid by donations from someone (preferably not a foreign government with strings attached)

So,
*The issue with the CV language program was #1.
*The issue with the May 5 celebration in the school with the old navy flag tshirt controversy was #2
*And a general problem with public schools in CA is #3.

QED.[/quote]

I like this.

Actually, I would be more than happy if the public schools could manage to teach our kids English. All of them. Spelling, syntax, punctuation, sentence structure…I’m getting excited just thinking about it.

I’d like to say that I come to Pigg’s because of the scintillating discourse. In fact, it’s because I need my regular fix of well-stated opinions, written in properly structured and punctuated sentences, and I know I will always find it here.

How about accepting and embracing change rather than harboring outrage and anger?[/quote]

If that change is destructive (and it looks like the majority of Americans believe it’s destructive), why should we embrace it? Why shouldn’t we fight it?

You make a great point CA renter. It’s worth trying to guide change in the right direction. But it’s not possible to stop change.

Certain change is so inexorable that it cannot be stopped.

This is mainly an issue of demographics. The Hispanification of the American West and, California in particular, is unstoppable.

We have the choice of embracing the Hispanic population and help them succeed. Throwing roadblocks in their way and forcing them to assimilate while not legalizing them only elicits a negative adverse reaction and impoverish us all.

These American flag issues are nothing new and will come up periodically when people get riled up and get the press coverage.

Are you volunteering? Just curious, what have you done to help? I’m only asking because you mentioned these lofty ideas about we should be doing this and that. How much of this are you doing? Volunteer much at the food bank?
