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

[Jim Jones]

[quote=briansd1]What is it with people who need to constantly fly the flag and yell from the top of the roof that America is the greatest?

If America is so great, we can let the greatness speak for itself; and we don’t need to constantly wave the flag to remind ourselves that we are the greatest. And we don’t need to worry about people who like to fly the Mexican flag.

Brian,

You exist is a world of complete relativism.

Let me speak for you in a more extreme form of relativism.

If Mexico is go great, we can let the greatness speak for itself; and we don’t need to constantly wave the flag to remind ourselves that we are the greatest. And we don’t need to worry about people who like to fly the American flag.

To me recognizing both sides of the coin is the purest form of liberalism. That seems to have been lost today.

Also Brain I would like for you to personally advocate my celebration of the July 4th holiday celebrating American independence from an imperial Britain in Mexico. I would like police and governmental protection and for all Mexicans to remove items of Mexican nationalism while I fly the American flag in Mexico city this summer because I would find that insensitive on my day of celebration. I also expect the Mexican national media to be entirely sympathetic to my cause. While in Mexico I also wish to be treated as an underrepresented minority seeking racial, economic and social justice in a world without borders as I am a person not an immigrant.

Brain you have to wake up and see the reality; not the one you are making up in your mind that exists in some ideal world where everyone is playing by the rules.

For Brian hating America is preferable to hating himself. The flag symbolically provides him with an object for his free floating anxiety and keeps him from succumbing to the debilitating and crushing weight of his true self-loathing. Let him attack the people and institutions in this country. Everyone sees through his petty and continuous assaults on all things American: from Palin to Bush, his hatred keeps him from thinking about his life. His hatred keeps him alive.

I sincerely hope that tomorrow’s headline reads “200 Live Oak students given 3-day detention for walking out of class”.

As I mentioned in another post, I don’t believe that any of the Live Oak High students are suffering deleterious effects to their psyches as a result of the events of May 5. However, if I am incorrect in my assumption, and the result was the need to participate in a two-hour protest walk on City Hall, it should have been scheduled for after-school hours. Public schools districts have a duty and obligation to provide the means for an elementary and secondary school education to the children of this country. However, said same children are obligated to follow the rules and guidelines, and fulfill the requirements of the school at which they are enrolled students. This includes attendance on the proscribed days and hours of instruction.

In the words of the student protesters, they walked out of class, en masse, and were marching to “show their Mexican-American pride”. This was not an event planned, executed, or endorsed by the school or the district. The student-protesters left their classes and the school in the middle of the scheduled school day, without the permission of their teachers or administrators, in direct violation of school policy.

An march to demonstrate ethnic pride could have been held at any time, and there was no need or excuse for the participating students to leave their classes. By all accounts, many of these same students were supportive of the school’s decision to discipline the students who had violated the school’s newly-instituted Cinco de Mayo dress code. I would hope that the student protesters are as open to the prospect of discipline resulting from their deliberate flaunting of the rules.
