Students wearing the American Flag to school on Cinco de Mayo and have the administration say that it was incendiary.

Cue rioting and Hispanics not being too happy.

Thoughts?

Yes, let's totally prohibit Americans from wearing the American flag in America just because it happens to be a Mexican holiday.

How is it that these people haven't forgotten how to breathe yet?

Did the people wearing the American Flag-themed clothing do anything else, like make racist remarks? I can't believe that just wearing the red white and blue (in America) could spark an outrage just by itself. Then again, who knows.

I can. None of this crap surprises me anymore, it just makes me angry and sad.

Also, they don't even celebrate Cinco de Mayo in Mexico!

It's not even Mexican independence day, that's a completely different day all together. So yeah, Cinco de Mayo may as well be considered an American holiday at this point. In which case...uh, what the fuck.

I think this is an overboil from the events happening in Arizona. Right now, Hispanics all over are pissed to hell about that decision and now it's getting into schools over isolated incidents.

That melting pot concept is apparently melting as of late.
