Kudos to the school district for siding with the students.

The Right just discovered the power of “fomenting official government displays of anti-patriotism.”

“... garments the school officials deemed “incendiary” on Cinco de Mayo.”

They want a fight. They want the right to be Mexican Nationals in America. They want immigration to be about not embracing the well practiced method of assimilating into the American culture, the same method that other foreigners have done for centuries. It’s not the kids, it’s the teachers and the administrators. I say take them to court. If we don’t wipe them out as invaders then we deserve to be made into sheep by them. This is the shot heard around the world. This is a mindset brought to us by fools that let it happen in the first place. This Principle would not have had the guts to do this if idiots had not paved the way for him in the first place. At this point any drop of the hat should be enough to cause an Arizona styled revolution across the nation. It’s time to stand up for proper immigration methods and to convince millions of illegal aliens it’s time to leave. They got here on their own and they can get to where they are going on their own. End the jobs for illegals program.

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.

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.

“Two of the kids sent home were part Mexican.”

So where they part illegal? Perhaps they were part Hispanic? Perhaps they were part Nationalized citizen and part illegal alien? Perhaps they were born in the USA and liked the American flag. Well screw them anyway because the boss man sent them home. PC bullcrap...

The boy’s mother were on Laura’s show, they said Rodriguez used the word “European” to describe kids in his school.

Cinco de Mayo was created by Corona Beer to promote it. It’s not even a Mexican Holiday in Mexico.

Read History, the reason mexico was able to gain independance was because of support from The USA.

“The principal’s name is Nicholas Boden.”

Does that make him the cousin of Jethro Bodine?
