But the whole idea is that it was a BANDANA, the Mexican symbol of gangs, I don’t think it was a wrong call. Flags are to be respected, not to be used to make bikini bras’ and bandanas. He was within his rights.

Read the whole article. The students were then told to wear their USA flag tee-shirts inside out. Considering that to be disrespectful to the American flag, they chose instead to be sent home.

Perhaps you should a little more in detail: “Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal’s office.”

Its the shirts thats the issue - I’m sure any bandanas are restricted by the dress code, I dont think American Flag shirts are.

The wearing of bandanas is against the school's dress code. The boys removed their bandanas. The administrator crossed the line when he told the boys to remove their shirts which were not in violation of the dress code.
