A group of 200 mostly Latino students from Live Oak High School skipped class in Morgan Hill, California over an incident they alleged showed a lack of respect for us and our heritage. The protestors marched through neighborhoods shouting slogans and carrying signs.
The incident that provoked the outburst occurred when five other students had the effrontery to wear American flag tee shirts to school on May 5th. Even though school administrators sent these students home to change their shirts to show the proper respect for our Latino student body members, the protestors insisted this wasnt enough of a punishment for their mocking our sacred day.
It is bad enough that Cinco de Mayo isnt a recognized holiday, complained one of the protestors. But to be taunted by the Anglo oppressors of the Mexican people is too much to bear. They should be expelled.
Immature students may think their American-flag-waving stunt is patriotic, said Live Oak High School Assistant Principal Walter Wussman. But patriotism doesnt give a person the right to inflict emotional pain on others. As for the claim that the First Amendment protects the right to express opinions that are offensive to others, well that doesnt apply on school grounds. The Administration has the authority to impose whatever restrictions it deems warranted in order to promote what we consider an appropriate learning environment.
In related news, New Yorks Governor David Paterson (D) announced the creation of a program to assist criminal immigrants to avoid deportation. Immigrant felons make up an important segment of our states criminal class, Paterson observed. If we deport them the need for police, prosecutors, prison guards and the like will be diminished. These public employees have families to feed. We cant let them suffer because of some knee-jerk notion that we should rid ourselves of so-called undesirable foreigners.

Dear Mexican oppressed,
Leave if you don’t like it.
These latino students must be getting a good liberal education....respect is earned, cannot be demanded.
I will RESPECT YOU
when YOU RESPECT OUR LAWS
and LEAVE if you are ILLEGAL!
Millions of Mexican people are here illegally, get free health care and other govt handouts.....and they are still complaining?
Ignorant does not begin to describe these people.
For the situation of ILLEGALS, respect is EARNED when you RESPECT and ABIDE by our LAWS. Till then, I am unable to RESPECT a CRIMINAL, which is what an ILLEGAL ALIEN is.
They don’t want to assimilate. But they want all the benefits without contributing.
Governments don’t generate money, they only spend it! Hey my new tag line.
You realize most posters won’t bother to check and see if it’s satire before blowing a gasket.
Well done!

Time to take our country back!
The principal should be fired.
There will be attacks on those kids if they go back to that school. The faculty has basically endorsed it.
If nothing is done about illegal immigration, I can see this going from protesters “marching” to an all out Civil War, and not in the far too distant future.
Bingo. The faculty deflected the anger and put it all on white kids. The faculty was scared. The white kids are now scared. What we’re scared of we can’t face head on, and we haven’t which only exacerbates the problem by kicking the can down the road. Sooner or later, there’s no more road left and then..
Oh, satire? Never mind. Now I totally agree with the faculty’s handling of this situation. /s
DAMMIT!! Got me again...
This is NOT Satire!

I don’t think the faculty was scared, I think it was complicit. I think they were organizing these kids for La Raza or something.
