I doubt Mexican schools would hold ceremonies honoring the U.S. independence day.

They would burn our flag and effigies of Bush. The young man was right not to stand to honor anything about Mehico.

was reprimanded and sent to the school office.
By WHOM exactly?! I want NAMES and PICS. We need to make an example of these people and show the nation who they are. Shine the light on their hatred for their own country. This has gone on long enough.
"If they have an assembly, I would be happy if they will not try to force students to honor patriotic elements of another culture unless they also honor our flag, our anthem as well," Bedard said. "It's just respect for both cultures."
Respect is EARNED. Not GIVEN away.
Does this fella even KNOW what country he's in?

"I am concerned that the Mexican Americans have unfairly monopolized the teaching of cultural awareness at this school," Bedard told the suburban paper. "At least that's the perspective of a parent. I'd love to be corrected." It all started with the Pan-Africa movement, many years back. If you didn't stand for "their flag/fist salute".. the snidey at you was that you were a racist.
Stupidity is a social disease largely communicable via pub ed institution of so-called education.

And you just know that if the scenario were reversed and he sat out the Star Spangled Banner, they'd have honored his "right to protest." Sickening.
Why the hell should we honor Mexico anyway? Their drug and human smugglers are mounting daily attacks on our borders!

I am waiting for the madness to trip a sense of outrage in real Americans and it becomes time to take out the trash. This can manifest itself in many ways but I feel it may ultimately be in Independence: "When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. " I fear that this may be the only way that the red states can resolve the lunacy foisted upon the nation by the liberal blue states.

We were up there several times when my son was in bootcamp and A-school at Great Lakes, ILL this past spring and summer. We went to the local Walmart and thought we had stepped over the border into Mexico. Most of the employees and shoppers were Mexican. Some of the announcements were made in Spanish. Many of the signs were in Spanish. People shopping around us were speaking spanish! It was just weird!

Liberals with the help of the ACLU have defended students & others who refuse the stand for the Star Spangled Banner.

If he had wanted to spit on the US National Anthem, he would be praised as a hero.

I stand with the kid. He has no obligation to show any respect tot he flag of another nation - especially when that nation has deliberately engaged on policies to encourage their own citizens to violate our laws and our sovereignty.
The school was wrong to discipline him or agree to any respect for Mexican Independence Day. This is sheer BS.

I don't think that's the point.
We get offended when the hockey teams from Canada disrespect our national anthem.
Common courtesy demands we respect other flags or anthems at appropriate times.
We were at a baseball game in NY recently and there were four young adults from Canada in front of us. They came to see the Nationals (formerly the Montreal Expos) When our national anthem was played, they stood up, took off their baseball hats and showed respect.
When the game was over I spoke to them and thanked them for being respectful.

"When in Rome..."; the kid is in Illinois, if he were in Mexico then it would have been different.

You missed my point. However, it would seem that most on this thread think that since others are disrespectful to our national symbols then we ought to be disrespectful to others.
Doesn't surprise me one bit.

Here in Ft.Walton Beach, FL, I refer to Wal-MArt as "Little Mexico". On Saturdays you'd think you were in Tijuana..........

Think of standing up and saluting in 1944 when the rising sun and the little swatiksa passed by, or do you sing the praises of the iranian revolution and the coming of islam. We are at war with the foreign cultures trying to replace our multi cultural life style. Dont try to indoctrinate our children and lower our culture or dumb them down. Think about it how many of those mexicans want to stay in mexico?

Wish I knew the boys address. His status in the US Military was safe even if he would have stood up.
But he was 100% right in refusng to stand. Multicultural Awarness is a great thing to inform others of different cultures.
But to Mandate the honors to the Mexican Anthem is stupidity in action. I wonder if the school plays the US National Anthem at all?

I live in Navarre and I've noticed the same thing when I go the Wal-Mart in Fort Walton. The signs are bi-lingual and if you go to the meat section they have different cuts with Spanish only names. My folks are in Illinois and it's the same up there. It's not just a southwest issue any more and I fear this is only the beginning until we get a president in office who looks out for his citizens first.

But they were not made to stand , that is the difference there in my opionin.
Whjen our local Major League baseball team hosted a Latin night, I couldnt help but think had they of hosted a European night, the outrage that what have taken place, even if it were voluntary to attend....

very doubtful and they probably have a ramadan celebration planned or a Kwanza dinner.
